Is abortion a woman's right?
When does human life begin?
Should we legislate morality?
What would happen if the Socrates of old suddenly appeared in modern Athens? Peter Kreeft imagines the dialog that might ensue with three worthy opponents--a doctor, a philosopher and a psychologist--about the arguments surrounding abortion. Kreeft uses Socratic technique to strip away the emotional issues and get to the heart of the rational objections to abortion. Logic joins humor as Socrates challenges the standard rhetoric and passion of the contemporary debate.
Peter Kreeft (Ph.D., Fordham University) is professor of philosophy at Boston College. He has written more than forty books, including Does God Exist? (Thomas Nelson), A Summa of the Summa (Ignatius), and Between Heaven and Hell, The Best Things in Life, The Journey and Socrates Meets Jesus (all IVP).
