- Professor Jeremy Waldron, University Professor at the New York University Law School, delivers the third in the 2015 Gifford Lecture series, entitled "Looking for a Range Property: Hobbes, Kant, and Rawls"
In 'A Theory of Justice' Rawls introduced the idea of a 'range property' - a sort of threshold-based approach to the significance of variations in a certain range. Professor Waldron explores this idea, which Hobbes and Kant also implicitly relied on.
Recorded on 29 January 2015 at the University of Edinburgh's Playfair Library.
Very fitting that someone like Gordon Brown gets a special welcome when he attends a lecture series about equality. If I was there as an audience member, that would be my queue to walk out immediately.
What is the history? How is it a queue?
