Some of Hare's students, such as Brian McGuinness and Bernard Williams went on to become well-known philosophers. Perhaps best known outside philosophical circles, Peter Singer, known for his work in animal liberation, was also a student of Hare's, and has explicitly adopted many elements of Hare's thought.
