In a traditional way of thinking, life is something awesome, sacred – to take life is dreadful to contemplate. Not so much, though, anymore. Why?
The title of this program is Great Minds with Michael Medved, and it really does take a great mind to survey the sweep of Western intellectual history and pick out in all of that a key but disturbing trend. That’s what historian of modern European history Richard Weikart does in his latest book, The Death of Humanity: And the Case for Life.
On this episode, Michael talks with author Richard Weikart about the historical background behind this fall of human life from its once very high pedestal. How did it come about that we now see it as hardly more exalted than animal life? This important discussion focuses on Dr. Weikart’s appropriately titled recent book, The Death of Humanity, which as he explains, has more than one meaning. Find it now on the Minds with Medved website. [ Ссылка ]

============================
News comes and news goes, but there are some questions that never go away. On Great Minds with Michael Medved, thanks to our friends and sponsors at Discovery Institute, I have the opportunity to spend time discussing these perennial, ultimate issues that go to the core of our shared values. To do that, with each show I introduce you to a particularly deep and original thinker, a great mind to help us explore great ideas. ~Micheal Medved
