The Leonard Lopate Show
Food for Thought
Monday, September 10, 2007
On today's show: Food Network star Rachael Ray tells us what's cooking on the new season of her show. And we'll hear from an adventurous eater who traveled the globe to find unusual meals. Also, a writer reveals how she came to terms with middle age and all the gray hair that goes with it. But first, a Yale law professor encourages universities to ask students the age-old question: what is the meaning of life?
Deep Thoughts
Professor Anthony T. Kronman, former Dean of the Yale Law School, thinks today's college professors have lost touch with the most important question education seeks to answer: what is the meaning of life? His new book explains why this has happened, and how professors can bring philosophy back into the classroom.
