Seeking Truth and Speaking Truth: Law and Morality in Our Cultural Moment (Dr. Robert P. George) - 8/14/25
from The Simple Truth · host The Station of the Cross
8/14/25 - In Seeking Truth and Speaking Truth, acclaimed political philosopher and legal scholar Robert P. George tackles one of the most vexing issues dividing Americans today. He argues that the "Age of Faith" of the Medieval period and the "Age of Reason" of the European Enlightenments have been followed by a modern "Age of Feeling," in which people derive their beliefs not from faith or reason—or faith and reason—but from emotion, which becomes the central source of truth. And so, many have embraced a fierce moral absolutism on the basis of beliefs that are the products of nothing more than subjective inclinations and experiences. We'll also ask Dr. George about the U.S. Supreme Court's looming decision on same-sex marriage and whether the original ruling may be overturned. Get the book HERE
