The Personal Is Always Political: A Conversation with David Walsh

Who is the human person and has modern philosophy given us a truncated understanding of the person? Those are some of the questions put to David Walsh in his latest book, Politics of the Person as the Politics of Being, in his interview with Richard M. Reinsch II of Liberty Law Talk. The interview is available here.
