The book 'The Great Ape Project: Equality Beyond Humanity' is a collection of essays advocating for the extension of human rights to great apes. Edited by Paola Cavalieri and Peter Singer, it examines the need to reassess the moral status of our closest relatives, chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans, proposing that they receive protections and rights similar to those of humans. With contributions from Jane Goodall, Richard Dawkins, and others, this revolutionary work has generated controversy and seeks to promote a new stage in the development of the community of equals.
Peter Albert David Singer is an Australian moral philosopher who is Emeritus Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics at Princeton University. Singer's work specialises in applied ethics, approaching the subject from a secular, utilitarian perspective. He wrote the book Animal Liberation (1975), in which he argues for vegetarianism, and the essay "Famine, Affluence, and Morality", which argues the moral imperative of donating to help the poor around the world. For most of his career he was a preference utilitarian. He revealed in The Point of View of the Universe (2014), co-authored with Katarzyna de Lazari-Radek, that he had become a hedonistic utilitarian.
