Seeking Truth in the Age of Feeling, featuring Professor Robbie George

from The OBservations Podcast

Most people still believe that feelings are the ultimate guide to truth, but what if trusting emotions is actually leading us astray?  In this powerful keynote address at MBEC 2026, philosopher and public thinker Professor Robert George joins Dr. Susan Bane and exposes how the modern age has shifted from faith and reason to feelings as the central source of morality, and why that shift threatens real freedom, truthful medicine, and moral clarity. Professor George reveals how feelings, subjective and unreliable, are dominating our cultural and medical decisions, pushing us toward authoritarianism disguised as liberation. He shares profound insights on the true purpose of medicine, the importance of faith and reason working together, and the moral courage needed to stand up against the tide of emotionalism that risks destroying civil liberties, honest dialogue, and objective truths. This episode is perfect for students, healthcare professionals, and anyone committed to truth in a culture that often prioritizes emotion over reality. Professor George’s insights challenge us to reclaim the dignity of reason and moral clarity, and to stand firm in the face of social and cultural pressures. Get a sneak peek at MBEC 2027 in St. Louis, Missouri, and stay tuned for when ticket purchases go live this summer: AAPLOG Conference - MBEC 2027 | St. Louis, MO | Feb. 26-28 Other Resources:  Learn more about Professor Robbie George.  Order his book, Seeking Truth and Speaking Truth: Law and Morality in Our Cultural Moment. Explore the MBEC 2027 theme, “The Strength and Beauty of Life-Affirming Medicine.”  Learn more about us at www.aaplog.orgBecome a member at www.aaplog.org/joinJoin our mailing list here.Click here to donate.Follow us on:FacebookTwitterInstagram
