Peter Singer is one of the main supporters of preference utilitarianism. He has not only developed a robust normative theory, but he has also tackled questions of meta-ethics, moral psychology and, above all, practical ethics using an original and fruitful approach. This paper analyzes Singer's position regarding the debate both on theoretical issues and on questions of applied ethics. Peter Singer è uno dei principali sostenitori contemporanei dell'utilitarismo delle preferenze. Egli non solo ha sviluppato una solida teoria normativa, ma ha anche affrontato in maniera originale e autorevole questioni di metaetica, psicologia morale e, soprattutto, etica pratica. Questo contributo esamina la posizione dell'autore tanto nell'ambito del dibattito teorico quanto nella sfera dell'etica applicata.
