Learning on ScreenGreat Thinkers
- Synopsis
- Episode 1: HUMAN, ALL TOO HUMAN looks at how scientists and psychologists sought to find out what makes human beings tick, with rarely seen footage of Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, RD Laing, Margaret Mead and Richard Dawkins. Episode 2: THE GRAND EXPERIMENT shows how political and economic thinkers (John Maynard Keynes, William Beveridge, Friedrich Hayek, Milton Friedman) shaped British society in the twentieth century. Episode 3: THE CULTURE WARS examines how thinkers as diverse as Raymond Williams, FR Leavis, Edward Said and Stuart Hall turned the polite world of ‘culture’ into a political battlefield. The series features over twenty newly-shot interviews with great thinkers and opinion-formers of the modern age - Germaine Greer, John Gray, Roger Scruton, David Hare, David Attenborough, David Miliband, John Redwood and Tariq Ali discuss what these thinkers contributed to the modern age.
