UK Government is Trying to Destroy the Public Sphere!

Fascinating and bleak talk on freedom of speech, and the british government's attempt to destroy the public sphere in the name of the global economic crisis. "Professor Raymond Geuss (Faculty of Philosophy, Cambridge) speaks at Occupied Lady Mitchell Hall, Cambridge University, on freedom of speech, and the threats posed by the White Paper to the public university."

fucking hell guy shouting when he could just talk.

you could allso probably sum up allot of what he is saying in 1/5th of the time blody anoying.

does make some valid observations and interesting listen just a shame about the above points.

good sift !


also a basic digram would probably make it allot easer to understand what he is saying with some pionts in maby 10 seconds , as aposed to 10 minutes of blabbing as he is going all over the place.

My favorite philosopher. His books Outside ethics and Politics and the real are fantastic. I can't wait to watch this later tonight.

BTW Westy, he's a philosopher. Being overly verbose is what they do

lol I know but its just stupid , any intelligent person will evaluate an argument or what is being said by the core information facts and logic , not the poetry and colourful use of language , in this context especially where he is presenting to university students it makes little sense for him to be so verbose and shouting.

If his books are more concise then id defiantly reed them.

If "any intelligent person will evaluate an argument or what is being said by the core information facts and logic , not the poetry and colourful use of language", then why are you so upset that he is "so verbose and shouting"?

Because he is a teacher doing a specific talk to a receptive audeance who he acnolages at the start as alredy knowing the subject mater and thus would know that the students don't need him to be so verbose and noisy to understand what he is saying.

also my comment above says "does make some valid observations and interesting listen just a shame about the above points. " so I acknowledged the content of his talk and just point out that the verbosity and loud voice is a waist of his effort.

I am not "upset"
