Linguistic Justice for Europe and for the World
In Europe and throughout the world, competence in English is spreading at a speed never achieved by any language in human history. Is the resulting growing dominance of English to be resisted or accelerated? Does it breed injustice? If so, in what sense exactly, and what should be done about it? In this talk, Philippe van Parijs will summarize the answers offered to these questions in his book Linguistic Justice for Europe and for the World (Oxford UP, 2011) and discuss some of the main objections against them. Co-sponsored by the Center for European Studies and the Harvard Department of Philosophy More information: http://www.ash.harvard.edu/Home/News-Events/Events/Linguistic-Justice-for-Europe-and-for-the-World
