Description
In this Focus on the Humanities lecture, Ratner-Rosenhagen examines why, beginning at the turn of the 20th century, an increasing number of American and European intellectuals found themselves drawn to asking these questions. Her talk probes their conclusion that ultimate questions are inescapable for living the examined life both in the context of their 20th-century world, and for us today.
