If a society is measured by how it treats its worst off, we have reason to think hard and well about how we manage the lives of those in prison. Philosophy – in particular, the collaborative doing of philosophy – has here a role to play.

As part of 'The British Academy 10-Minute Talks' on YouTube, Professor MM McCabe FBA explores how introducing philosophical discussion into prisons may matter.

Speaker: Professor MM McCabe FBA, Professor of Ancient Philosophy Emerita, King’s College London
