About What is Moral Socialism?
Professor Lea Ypi reflects on the failures of state socialism and global capitalism in the twentieth century and suggests a new way forward.
What is moral socialism? "If we seek an answer to the waverer who asks us whether he should be a socialist or not," wrote the Austro-Marxist Otto Bauer more than a century ago "we do need Kant’s ethics."
In this lecture, Lea Ypi reflects on the failures of state socialism and global capitalism in the twentieth century and suggests a new way forward. Her account seeks to revive the Enlightenment critique of technocratic reason and is grounded on a universal conception of freedom as moral agency.
This event is taking place in the Humanities Lecture Theatre within the Gilbert Scott Building.
It is also available to view online.
