Boundaries of Life
No Dogs or Philosophers Allowed - Television That Makes You Think - on DVD
How should we think about the beginnings and endings of humans' biological lives? Is an ethical system based on natural law the only way to safeguard the value of individual human life? Does holding a secular perspective on the boundaries of human life necessarily leave one on a slippery slope? With Peter Caws and Sr. Regina Geiger.
This program was originally broadcast as an episode of No Dogs or Philosophers Allowed®, for years North America's premier philosophy television program. It featured leading thinkers discussing issues vital to the human condition. Philosopher Ken Knisely leads these spirited discussions that combine Socratic inquiry with modern television technology, providing a model for philosophical contributions to public discourse in the electronic age. Each program is available on DVD and the purchase price for each program includes non-public performance broadcast rights for classroom use. Customers also have permission to digitally encode up to 10 minutes of any program and post it to a web site for distance learning or students outside the classroom.
