| Summary: | Peter Singer's main interest has been practical ethics. At the level of normative ethics, Singer's moral philosophy has undergone two stages. The paper asks whether the changes at the level of normative ethics allow the Singer of the second stage to maintain the practical ethics approaches of his first stage, as he has done and as is paradigmatically shown in the successive editions of his famous book Practical Ethics. To this end, the first and second Singer's treatment of the question of the moral consideration of abortion and murder is confronted with a fairly widespread intuition, namely that murder is more serious than abortion. The conclusion is that the second Singer, unlike the first, cannot maintain his commitment to that intuition, and that Practical Ethics therefore requires an update. Finally, some possible ways in which Singer might address this situation are tentatively explored. El principal interés de Peter Singer ha sido la ética práctica. En el plano de la ética normativa su filosofía moral ha pasado por dos etapas. El artículo se pregunta si los cambios en el nivel de la ética normativa permiten al Singer de la segunda etapa mantener los planteamientos de ética práctica de su primera etapa, como ha hecho y como se muestra paradigmáticamente en las sucesivas ediciones de su famoso libro Ética Práctica. Para ello, el tratamiento que el primer y el segundo Singer hacen de la cuestión de la consideración moral del aborto y del asesinato se enfrenta a una intuición bastante extendida, a saber, que el asesinato es más grave que el aborto. La conclusión es que el segundo Singer, a diferencia del primero, no puede mantener su compromiso con esa intuición y que, por tanto, su Ética Práctica requiere una actualización. Por último, se exploran tentativamente algunas posibles formas en que Singer podría abordar esta situación. |
