Closer to Truth: Cosmos, Consciousness and God

New Season starts Tuesday, Sept. 2, 2008.


A new season of “Closer to Truth” adopts a new style and a new focus on a global journey in search of the vital ideas of existence. The “Closer to Truth” cameras leave the studio and go on location to seek out the great thinkers of our time on fundamental issues of universe, brain/mind, religion, meaning and purpose. The result is a series of intimate, candid conversations with leading scientists, philosophers, scholars, theologians and creative thinkers of all kinds. The host is Robert Lawrence Kuhn.
