Professor Rae Langton will talk at The Cambridge Union tonight – just a day after she delivered the first in her series of John Locke Lectures in Oxford.
The high-profile philosopher and Newnham Fellow will add her voice to the debate on the motion that ‘This House Believes In the Unconditional Right to Offend’ – Liz Jones, controversial Daily Mail journalist, will speak for the proposition with Professor Langton from 7.30pm.
The John Locke Lectures are among the world’s most distinguished lecture series in philosophy and first began in 1950.
Professor Langton gave the first lecture of Oxford’s Trinity Term at the Grove Auditorium in Magdalen College last night (April 29) exploring the topic ‘Accommodating Injustice’.
The lectures are all given by Professor Langton and take place on Wednesdays for six weeks until June 2.
Many of the greatest philosophers of the last half century have been Locke Lecturers.
