Giles Fraser on Wittgenstein and Blade Runner - a podcast by BBC Radio 4

Giles Fraser thinks being human isn't a matter of biology or some unique attribute like language. It's not to do with what we are but about how we treat each other.

For Giles, human is a moral category and it is an instruction to treat each other well.
