The Philosophy Group led by Dr. Phil Pecorino will be meeting on the SECOND Thursday of the month at the Plainview-Old Bethpage Public Library, 999 Old Country Rd., Plainview, Nassau County, NY.

TOPIC:  "Peter Singer: A Dangerous Mind"

What of the Ethics  of Peter Singer?   Animal Rights?  Tithing? Vegetarianism?

The New Yorker calls him "the most influential living philosopher."  His critics call him "the most dangerous man in the world."  Peter Singer, the De Camp Professor of Bioethics at Princeton University's Center for Human Values. 

 I  expect that we will spend the 2 hours we have exploring the meanings and assumptions and presuppositions associated with those questions.
