IAP 2004 Activity


The Romanell Phi Beta Kappa Lectures in Philosophy
Joshua Cohen
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Participants welcome at individual sessions (series)

I will be giving the Romanell-Phi Beta Kappa Lectures. I will be presenting three lectures in Political Philosophy. In the first two lectures, I will present a conception of "deliberative democracy," as an ideal of democracy for a pluralistic society. In the third lecture, I will present an account of human rights as an essential element in global public reason. The common thread in the three lectures is a conception of the role of shared reason in political life.
