On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, 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.
