Rights - Academics and Philosophers at Leveson Today
Very interesting sessions today - academic discussing rights and free speech etc ...
"Society is indeed a contract. It is a partnership in all science; a partnership in all art; a partnership in every virtue, and in all perfection. As the ends of such a partnership cannot be obtained in many generations, it becomes a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born.”

Did you listen to Niall Ferguson, S_A? - I got the impression that he thought that if he spoke quickly enough in long enough sentences, listeners would be overwhelmed and unable to engage with the coal he was mining

a very good days listening indeed, serious and deliberative rather than who did what etc .... Prof Baroness O'Neill was scathing in such measured tones ....

As I said in a prevous thread to me it was a total waste of this year's Reith Lecture. We already have the worst mess-up in my lifetime caused by following the kinds of two-a-penny right-wing doctrine Mr Ferguson advocates.Did you listen to Niall Ferguson, S_A? - I got the impression that he thought that if he spoke quickly enough in long enough sentences, listeners would be overwhelmed and unable to engage with the coal he was mining
