you write, many scientists and philosophers of science regard to the stability as an important feature of scientific inquiry and intelligent design as testable in three specific into related waste. >> right. that me back upon not one as well. the first thing it is important to understand, i made it in the book, looking at these two mysteries, the missing ancestral fossils' and how you build an animal, show particularly in the second part of the book that the mechanism lax the creative power to generate these complex animals and especially the reformation necessary to build them. that is a critique of neo darwinism. a lot of people want to know how you get from that to a positive argument for intelligent design? and here is where darlings on method of scientific reasoning was really important are reasoning. i studied darlings method. i think he was a great pioneer. if you want to explain something like the cambrian explosion you cannot go into a lab and make the trilobites come into existence all over again. it's not replicable. you have to do is reason more like a forensic scientist an

now i don't write philosophical cogitations, and so while i'm very interested in these ideas, i try to find real-world conflicts, like the race debate and the debate over the new economy and, in a sense, use those as a means to raise philosophical issues. and so my book is trying to bridge the divide always between ideas and current issues. c-span: but name me some folks that you like a lot. >> guest: i am--i greatly admire the--milton's "paradise lost." i love "the federalist papers." there is a book by harry jaffe called "crisis of the house divided: a study of the lincoln-douglas debates," which i think is a very profound reflection on america. i love the philosopher charles taylor, his book, "sources of the self," is an exploration of how we went from the idea of the soul to the idea of the self. people used to believe that in a sort of moral order that was external to us, which made demands on us. the ten commandments came out of that sort of idea. now people tend to believe that, 'if i want to know what's right, i don't consult some external code, i look within myself. i find, wh

christ wears the robe of a greek philosopher... and his beardless, youthful face bears more than a passing resemblance to pagan images of apollo. the first great churches were variations of the roman assembly hall known as a basilica, with a central nave often ending in a semicircular apse and side aisles screened by colonnades. santa sabina finished in 432, is a particularly fine example of these simple but elegant early christian basilicas. the roman arch appears here in yet another form, springing directly from the column capitals. the insignia of the new christianized empire whose capital is no longer rome but constantinople are placed with perhaps unconscious symbolism atop the corinthian columns taken from a pagan building. once reviled and persecuted, christianity is triumphant. historians have argued about the causes of the fall of the roman empire ever since it happened when saint augustine wrote that the empire had been part of god's divine plan for the furtherance of christianity through the world that it had now fulfill

it reminds me of the light philosopher who said we learn from history that we do not learn from his jury because the same thing that blew up on our faces strengthen the bolsheviks. if we think about these foreign armies committing to russia, even though ours is very small, the japanese who would agree to his dad that most 12,000, sent 72,000 soldiers. their idea was not -- you couldn't care less about the bolsheviks. their idea was to control the eastern siberia. this is exactly what wilson didn't want because he knew the russians would react violently to that. the foreign imperialist coming in our country, supporting anti-bolshevik government that was really a czarist government at the russian people wouldn't react to that and they didn't. they went over to the bolsheviks because they didn't like foreigners coming in and support name the regime. if you look at the elections in russia, i find this very interesting. anyone can say the russian people believe this or the russian people believe that, who knows. but there is an election in 1917, ark teacher and assembly, democratic election,

, a communist philosopher, yeah, left philosopher who want to be a guerrilla, hooked up with che, lived out in a few little bit and he said he did want to be a grill in more and walked into a village and got arrested. when they arrested him, he flipped fast and he -- i think he got interrogated. at first he claimed that the cia safety. i think he backed off of the a little bit, but at some point the cia did give them. to make a long story short, charles de gaulle, the president of france, gets involved. they all write letters saying release him. and it was a big embarrassment. a lot of headaches for the bolivians as was the americans. i think that leads to the in game with che, to some extent. the bolivians when the capture che, if you think you have it bad when he got arrested, you have che now. how do you handle that? and the other problem, we talked to some of the bolivians about this, there wasn't a prison in bolivia. they had them, but they didn't have a prison at good old che to go there was also a fear that the cubans are going to come down and taking. so i think that testimony a

but most of the time it is a more ideological or philosophical approach. over the past generations generations, legal generations republicans who seek about the constitution have been dealt a way of thinking that differs from the way that democrats do. and to they deployed be ideological or philosophical structures to help them think through the problems. a and that since high with does play a big part of the important decisions. >> from the outset we have a process to choose someone as the comedy and there were 70 different stains. and with republicans, of reliability is the holy grail. what do you mean? >> let me just back up to give the framework of the way i approach this. when a supreme court vacancy opens up people talk about the president having the opportunity to leave a legacy. the question is exactly what that legacy is part of that you will appoint someone who will be on the court for a very long time well after you are going if you want to be remembered as your legacy. but as a president he also want to create a legacy for your political party

tightened, there are a lot of people that are very frustrated by that, is that a bad thing, not the philosophicaloncept of being a renter, but mortgage? >> it's not a bad thing that mortgage standards had tightened up. they had gotten way to easy. i was queasy when we got to 4 or 2% down. because when you are only putting 2% down, you know, you get a lot of -- a lot of tricky that was going on in some markets. but most mortgages today that are -- that people are getting, are -- are sold in the secondary market. the mortgages are sold to fannie mae and freddie mac, and because they are still trying to dig themselves out of the hole they got into during the crisis, they are very stringent in terms of the criteria -- of the mortgages that they are going to buy. so really that's what is dictating the terms is fannie mae and freddie mac. and they have loosened up a little bit. appraisals have normalized, a little bit of house appreciation as the markets are improving, but if you look at the raw numbers, home prices are up 10%, yet the number of people who own a home has dropped to 133,000, and that co

their most important philosophical principles stemmed from that equation. it was the idea of maat-- roughly "rightness" or "order." everything about the egyptian way of life had a pattern, a rhythm, a sense of orderly beginning and end. so too, the egyptians believed, this must be the way of man. man's end on earth was merely a beginning in the next world. when a pharaoh asked, "how long is life?" he was told, "thou art destined for millions of years, for a lifetime of millions."

but most of the time politics is a more ideological or philosophical approach over the past generation, republicans who are thinking about the constitution have developed a way of thinking about this is different from the way the democrats think about things. so when these cases that involve politics happen, they deployed these ideological structures or philosophical structures to help them think through the problems that they are dealing with. it isn't not send that these kind of politics really do play a big part in most of the important decisions. >> at the outset we have the process of choosing someone as a nominee. you say that democrats and republicans look for different things in a nominee. with republicans he said the liability is sort of the holy grail. what do you mean by the liability? >> guest: let me just back up to give a little bit of the framework of how i approach this. a supreme court vacancy, one opens up, people talk about the president president having an opportunity to leave a legacy. and the question is what exactly is that legacy. part of it is that you're going

i think as a sort of a philosophical mode operation, i would recommend always, you know, we talk about new technologies here. naturally, there's a tendency, i have it to think oh my god, everything is changing now. i have the new iphone. in fact, some things may not change. i troamed check your enthusiasm at the same time. i'll give you an example. a lot of people are concerned now about computer-controlled cars. the self-driving cars and the self-parking car and whatnot. theoretically it hasn't happened as far as we know has never happened. theoretically you could cause a car accident through a computer attack remotely. now lot of people simply think, oh my god, car cyber war is just around the corner. i would say, okay, that's a real risk, it could happen. imagine what the consequence would be. the consequence would be huge media outcry. two people killed in car cyberattack. the next result would be nobody would buy it anymore. so the market, if you talk about large numbers here, then the market is able to react in a way that is not the case in this control system environment. becaus
