Peter Singer

Journalists have bestowed on Peter the tag of “world’s most influential living philosopher.” They are probably thinking of his work on the ethics of our treatment of animals, often credited with starting the modern animal rights movement, and with the influence that his writing has had on the development of effective altruism. He is also known for the controversial critique of the sanctity of life ethics in bioethics.

Shih Chao-Hwei

Shih Chao-Hwei is a Buddhist monastic, social activist, scholar and recent winner of the Niwano Peace Prize. A leading advocate for animal rights, a vocal supporter of same-sex marriage and a key figure in the Buddhist gender equality movement, she is also a professor at Hsuan Chuang University and the founder of Hong Shih Buddhist College.
