This lecture discusses key ideas from the contemporary Utilitarian philosopher, Peter Singer's essay The Biological Basis of Ethics, excerpted from his book, The Expanding Circle: Ethics and Sociobiology
Here we focus in particular on his discussion of altruistic behavior extended towards family members or "kin", the roles it plays in ethics, and speculations about the basis of kin altruism.
