This seemingly uncontroversial scenario has profound moral implications. That's the famous "drowning child" scenario that Peter Singer, the Australian philosopher, presented in his 1972 article " Famine, Affluence, and Morality." He points out there could be some minor inconveniences - you'd get wet and muddy and would probably have to change your clothes. Say you're walking past a shallow pond and see a child drowning. His idea for the prize money: give it all away. The $1 million award is given to an individual who has made major contributions to advancing ideas that shape the world. Peter Singer, the Australian philosopher and bioethicist, is the winner of the 2021 Berggruen Prize.
