How Can You Truly Know A Person? In conversation with David Brooks
Jun 04, 2024•40 min•Transcript available on Metacast Episode description
This series of Reading our Times has looked at a number of scientific issues that have cast questions of, and sometimes shadows on, human personhood. So, in our final episode this series, we are asking specifically about that personhood.
What does it means to be a human person? And how do we come to know that personhood - not philosophically, not empirically but, well, personally. In an age in which technology threatens to remake us, even despite our intentions, how can we come to know and honour our deepest existence?
In this week's episode, Nick Spencer speaks to David Brooks about his book How To Know a Person.
