Abstract
Description
Includes descriptive metadata provided by producer in MP4 file: "Politics, Economics and Social Issues - Video - 2007 Holocaust Lecture Series: Michael Bess 'Deep Evil and Deep Good: The Concept of Human Nature Confronts the Holocaust.'" This description is incorrect. Bess actually speaks on the occasion of having been awarded the newly endowed Chancellor's Chair in History. The topic is "Icarus 2.0: Genetics, Computers and the Quest to Build a Better Human." Vice Chancellor Richard McCarty and Chancellor Nicholas Zeppos introduce and praise Bess.
