DESCRIPTION
Dr. Schindler addresses the problem of the understanding of human freedom in a liberal culture, considering the peculiar--i.e., "hidden," "compassionate"--way in which such a culture is disposed toward violence. The reflection focuses on issues in biotechnology, especially embryonic stem cell research.
