DAILY: Give me liberty AND give me death?

<p>Who’s up for some philosophy? COVID is shaping up as a crucible for the very idea of freedom – and an ultimate test for populism and libertarianism. Ian Dunt talks to <strong>TOBY BUCKLE</strong> of the <a href="https://www.politicalphilosophypodcast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Political Philosophy Podcast</a> about what freedom means, who owns it, what the lockdown is doing to international notions of liberty, and whether Boris Johnson is, if possible, even worse than Trump. </p><p><em>“Look at the evidence. Don’t look at your intuition. What seems obvious to you won’t be obvious to someone from another part of the country.”</em> </p><p><em>“Politics isn’t about policies. It’s about disagreements about the meaning of words.”</em> </p><p>Presented by Ian Dunt. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producer Jacob Archbold. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees. <strong>THE BUNKER is a Podmasters Production.</strong> </p> &#10;&nbsp;<br /><hr><p style='color: grey; font - size: 0.75em; '>See <a style='color: grey; ' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
