Democracy, Law and Human Person (How can democracy be saved?)
A lecture of the legendary professor of political and legal philosophy on how democracy can be saved in a polarised society.
Event description:
Annotation:
Our democracies across the Western world are under threat. How is a people divided in their deepest convictions to govern themselves? Until the late 20th century, liberals argued that the state should stand for moral neutrality. Today, however, progressivism is asserting itself and wants to radically reshape society in its own image. The result, however, is even greater division and polarisation in society. Professor George will argue persuasively that if we really want to save democracy, we need to return to a natural-law view of man, society and the law.‖
