What Does it Mean to be Human?

Canon Phil introduces Dr. Adam MacLeod, in a special lecture for the AAC at All Saints Anglican Church in Peachtree City, GA.  Here Adam speaks about the importance of knowing how to answer the question, "What does it mean to be human?" and to understand why people are finding new ways to answer it, apart from the ways revealed to us in Scripture. The implications to how we answer this question affect our whole society, from cultural norms, to worldviews, to law, and to religion.

Dr. MacLeod is a Professor of Law at Faulkner. He is also a Research Fellow of the Center for Religion, Culture, and Democracy. He has been a Visiting Fellow in the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions at Princeton University and a Thomas Edison Fellow in the Center for the Protection of Intellectual Property at George Mason University. He has also published more than one hundred articles, essays, and book reviews in peer-reviewed journals, law reviews, news outlets, and journals of public opinion. Adam writes and speaks about the foundations of private law and private ordering. He teaches courses concerning property, intellectual property, jurisprudence, and private law theory. He is an instructor in the James Madison Program’s graduate seminar on the Moral Foundations of Law.
