S2E3: Legal Positivism, Morality and Rights
This week, we're sticking with the theme of philosophy and the law: your host Sarah Tasneem is joined by Thomas Adams, a professor at the University of Oxford.
They discuss legal positivism as a school of thought, whether humans have an innate sense of law and morality, as well as the idea or possibility of international laws which may determine legal, moral rights for all. Tune in for the inevitable question regarding the age of artificial intelligence and the potential replacement of human judgement, as well as Tom's personal experience with legal academia for those interested in careers outside of the traditional practitioner routes.
If a career in academics interests you, be sure to listen to our last episode too!
