Hosted by philosopher Greg Reichberg, The Absolutes explores how our human search for an Absolute impacts on our everyday lives. How we think about ourselves – our personal fulfillment, ethics, and where we place ourselves on the metaphysical map of the universe. Identifying how our different conceptions divide us, but also how we can have meaningful and constructive dialogue about them, are central themes for The Absolutes.
