What is Justice?

Melvyn Bragg’s BBC Radio 4 programme, The History of Ideas, this week explores the idea of justice. The first 11 minute recording is a general introduction to the question and is followed by four 11 minute recordings on specific subjects.

• Barrister Harry Potter on Deterrence
• Philosopher Angie Hobbs on the Rawls’ Veil of Ignorance
• Criminologist David Wilson on Thomas Hobbes and Civil Disobedience
• Historian Alice Taylor on Habeas Corpus

Finally there is an "omnibus" with all 5 parts of the programme together (58 min).
There are no transcripts, but the 4 specific subjects are accompanied by short animated clips :

• deterrence/retribution
• Rawls’ veil of ignorance
• civil disobedience 
• habeas corpus
