Ideas - Bog

"I never thought about it that way before." For forty years, CBC Radio's Ideas has challenged listeners with provocative contemporary thought. In IDEAS: Brilliant Thinkers Speak Their Minds, executive producer Bernie Lucht presents twenty selections from the program's rich archive. IDEAS: Brilliant Thinkers Speak Their Minds is a symposium of prominent thinkers who have shaped the culture of our times. On topics including peace and conflict, ideology and the nation-state, and secularism and religion, voices from the past and present resonate together. Tariq Ali and Roméo Dallaire share dedication to personal responsibility, Northrop Frye's views on the Bible complement Bernard Lewis's assessment of Islam after 9/11, and Noam Chomsky and Hannah Arendt's opinions on violence foreshadow James Orbinski's exposure of false humanitarianism.
