In Search of the American Character. Robert Bellah
Description
In researching his book, Habits of the Heart, Robert Bellah, the sociologist, and his colleagues listened to Americans talking about the habits of their hearts—about love and marriage, commitment and solitude, private happiness and public good. In this program with Bill Moyers, Bellah raises provocative questions about the very nature of American character. He talks about the relationships between religion, politics, and society, and asserts that technological advances must meet moral criteria in order for our society to create priorities for the common good.
