16. Search for America - Human Fulfillment with Paul Tillich and Mark van Doren

Human fulfillment - What is the highest good man can achieve what is the relation of pleasure to happiness does life on earth exhaust the fifth element available to man or is life after death a reality Huston Smith puts these and similar questions to Paul Tillich University professor at Harvard and Mark van Doren, Pulitzer Prize winning poet and professor at Columbia University.
In this series, the inquiry turns from descriptive to normative values, from the 'is' to the ‘ought'. Focusing on fifteen crucial problems confronting the American people, from foreign policy decisions to matters of personal faith, it asks: What values should guide us toward the solution of these problems? Featured Personality: Huston Smith, a pioneer in Educational Television, Huston Smith is known to the television public for his two previous series: The Religions of Man and Science and Human Responsibility. For eleven years Professor of Philosophy at Washington University in St. Louis, he moved in 1959 to become the first Professor of Philosophy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, since the early days of that institution. An authority in comparative philosophy, Dr. Smith is the author of The Religions of Man and The Purposes of Higher Education.
