A Genealogy of Liberty: A Lecture by Quentin Skinner

source: Stanford 2016年12月1日
"What is liberty? This cherished ideal, which lies at the heart of our democracy, has proved very difficult to define. In this provocative lecture, eminent political theorist Quentin Skinner explores some influential meanings of liberty—especially those that define liberty in negative terms, as the absence of interference or arbitrary domination. He shows how negative liberty has important implications for the conduct of democratic government.
Quentin Skinner is the Barber Beaumont Professor of the Humanities at Queen Mary University of London. His interests lie in modern intellectual history and philosophical themes including the nature of interpretation and historical explanation, and the concept of political liberty and the character of the State. Skinner’s historical research centers on early-modern Europe, particularly the Italian Renaissance. He has published books on Machiavelli, on early Renaissance political painting, on ideals of civic virtue, and has edited Machiavelli’s The Prince. He also works on seventeenth century England, and has written extensively on the relations between rhetoric and philosophy. He recently completed a book on Shakespeare and forensic eloquence, and has published three books on the philosophy of Thomas Hobbes. His best-known work, The Foundations of Modern Political Thought, attempts to span the whole early-modern period.

Michael Webber: "Thirst for Power: Energy, Water and Human Survival"

source: Talks at Google 　 2016年12月22日
Author and award-winning professor Dr. Michael E. Webber, gives an entertaining and fast-paced lecture on the nexus of energy and water, sharing fun facts, historical snippets, and anecdotes from his new book, "Thirst for Power: Energy, Water and Human Survival” ( www.thirstforpower.com ). He helps answer the question "How can we change the way we think about water and energy to secure the long-term sustainability of both precious resources?" Although it is widely understood that energy and water are the world’s two most critical resources, their vital interconnections and vulnerabilities are less often recognized. This farsighted book offers a new, holistic way of thinking about energy and water—a big picture approach that reveals the interdependence of the two resources, identifies the seriousness of the challenges, and lays out an optimistic approach with an array of solutions to ensure the continuing sustainability of both.
Webber is Deputy Director of the Energy Institute, Co-Director of the Clean Energy Incubator & Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin, where he trains the next generation of energy leaders. He was selected as a Fellow of ASME, has authored more than 300 publications, holds 4 patents, and serves on the advisory board for Scientific American. Webber earned a B.S. & B.A. from UT Austin, and an M.S. & Ph.D. from Stanford.

Transcript - We who try to be decent people are bombarded by some kind of moral political pressure from two sides: First there is the worst one, of course, this anti-immigrant populous side like why should we even allow refugees in; it's their fault; third world travel and so on, there are enough poor people here; they come from another civilization; it means conflict and so on and so on. So there is all the time this pressure of we are defending our way of life; refugees are disturbing it. And it's interesting how in some radical right wing circles we really have already new conspiracy theories, which always fascinate me in their madness.
A couple of weeks ago the main Slovenia, I'm a coming from Slovenia, right wing weekly journal something like, Slovene Time Magazine, published a comment by a guy, which was a ferocious attack on George Soros, the humanitarian billionaire, claiming that he's the most disgusting despicable and dangerous person today in the world because he's a Jew who is organizing Muslim invasion into Europe. The guy uses totally open brutal terms like Negroid Islamist hoards are invading Europe. Claiming that the Jewish plan is to destroy Christian Europe and they're using Muslims to do it. Why do I like, I mean don't misunderstand me I'm horrified at it, But why do I "like" this fantasy? Because it goes to the end and it brings together two different levels of conspiracy theory. One is Muslim invasion of Europe and the other is anti-Semitism. Read Full Transcript Here: https://goo.gl/Eh5bBA.
