OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
This talk will explore two competing moral and political discourses of land value – concerning both the value of owning it and the values that should be possessed by those who own it – in the Enlightenment era: civic humanism and political liberalism. It will explore how these two alternative discourses are brought together in both (1) British Enlightenment rationalist moral theology and (2) some contemporary political discussions of the value of, and values in, land use and ownership. Consequently, it will be argued that the first is in a position to contribute to the second.
