How Evil was Empire? | Professor Nigel Biggar

Professor Nigel Biggar questions the narrative that empires were entirely, or even largely, evil, pointing to the atrocities of nation states and the successes of some empires historically. Link to the full conversation:    • The British Empire | Nigel Biggar   Nigel John Biggar CBE is Regius Professor of Moral and Pastoral Theology at the University of Oxford, author, Anglican priest, and theologian. He also directs the McDonald Centre for Theology, Ethics and Public Life at Oxford which aims to foster a conversation between Christian theology and other disciplines. In 2017, Biggar initiated the Oxford project “Ethics and Empire” which aimed to scrutinise a purely negative view of empires and argue that they were morally mixed. Historians and academics widely criticised the project for 'attempting to balance out the violence committed in the name of empire with its supposed benefits.' Recently, Nigel published What’s Wrong with Rights? arguing that society’s modern rights conversation reduces the importance of fostering civic virtues. Nigel delivered the 2022 Roger Scruton Memorial Lecture, entitled On Deconstructing Decolonisation.
