Peter Gabel: Integrating Law, Politics, and Spirituality

Peter Gabel, Harvard Law grad, PhD in Psychology, Associate Editor of Tikkun Magazine, professor of contracts, organizer of Network of Spiritual Progressives, co-founder of Project for Integrating Law, Politics, and Spirituality speaks on alienation of the self from other. In Part 1 of 3: Peter discusses how the ideas birthed during the 1960's political and social movement shifted from anger and analyzing injustices as ways shaping the world and our thinking about law. He talks about how many came to see law as a kind of important set of social institutions that encoded separation of self and others. He begins to discuss and critique our perception that the world is as the way it is encoded in the legal institutions.
