Description: Bill Moyers talks with Mary Gordon about the concept of martyrdom and its connection to rage and despair.  Gordon also explores the negative implications of what she sees as two converging influences of modern society: fundamentalism and consumerism.  Does science have a monopoly on reason?  Not at all, says philosopher and author Colin McGinn - reason is the foundation of morality as well. Bill Moyers talks with Colin McGinn about his adoption of atheism, and his belief that rational criticism is healthy for religion.
