The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Peter Singer’s Hegelianism: the Social Context of Equality

Abstract

This article examines the seemingly contradictory stance of Peter Singer’s meta-ethics with his redefinition of equality along the lines of all beings with interests are equal. This apparent contradiction is resolved through the postulation that Singer must, in part, hold a position similar to Hegelian idealism, but that raises a further problem concerning his specific work on animal rights.
