Prof. Jeremy Waldron - Looking for a Range Property: Hobbes, Kant, and Rawls

The University of Edinburgh: The University of Edinburgh

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.
