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 the problem the prisoner's dilemma raises for egoists, and how reciprocal altruism provides a resolution to the dilemma.
