2: The origins of the Celtic Peoples
Traces of an iron-using people, who spoke some form of Celtic language, are found in Central Europe by about 600 B.C. They are known as the Hallstatt people. By about 500
B.C. they moved further west and the second phase of Celtic culture can be traced to La Tène in Switzerland. From there the Celts spread swiftly across Europe, conquering and settling. Their fortunes rose, fluctuated and finally declined with the Roman conquest of Gaul in 58 B.C.
Produced by Adrian Johnson

Two talks on a problematical concept by R. W. HEPBURN
Professor of Philosophy in the University of Edinburgh
1: Some current arguments
Christian apologists make claims and assertions about ' the meaning of life.' But ' What is the meaning of life? ' is a doubly perplexing question. It is perplexing not simply because the correct answer is hard to find. We are perplexed no less to understand what sort of answer would satisfy us; what would count as an answer.
