ANITA ANAND: Welcome to the second of the 2019 BBC Reith Lectures with the former Supreme Court Judge, Jonathan Sumption. We’re in England’s second city at the University of Birmingham’s Bramall Music Hall, a beautiful modern addition to this famous old red brick campus.

欢迎来到2019年BBC睿思讲座的第二场,由前最高法院法官Jonathan Sumption主讲。今天我们来到英格兰第二大城市伯明翰,伯明翰大学古老的红砖校园新建了一个漂亮的现代建筑,就是我们今天所在的Bramall音乐厅。

Our speaker this year began his series by raising concerns about the law’s growing influence over public life. He suggested that this expansion may not be good for democratic life.  Now, he develops this idea further, turning his attention to some fundamental issues which underpin democracy, how the State acquires and builds legitimacy and, mindful of recent events, how democracy accommodates difference, difference of opinion and experience.  This, he believes, is the job of politicians, not of judges.  

今年的主讲人以对法律在公共生活中的影响力日益增长表示担忧开始了他的系列演讲,他指出这种扩张可能不利于民主。现在,他进一步发展了这个思想,将注意力转向民主的基础问题,国家应如何获取并建设正当性,以及,鉴于正在发生的时事,民主制应该如何容纳不同,意见分歧和经验差异。他相信,这些工作应该交由政治家而不是法官完成。

Will you please welcome the 2019 BBC Lecturer Jonathan Sumption. The lecture is called In Praise of Politics.
