Why Peter Singer — The 'Drowning Child' Ethicist — Is Giving Away His $1 Million Prize

Peter Singer, the Australian philosopher and bioethicist, is the winner of the 2021 Berggruen Prize. The $1 million award is given to an individual who has made major contributions to advancing ideas that shape the world. His idea for the prize money: give it all away.

The Australian philosopher and altruist has devoted his career to helping the poor and ending suffering. He's not afraid of controversy. In fact, he launched The Journal Of Controversial Ideas.
