- In this episode, Gloria Alvarez, Onkar Ghate and Harry Binswanger discuss Ayn Rand’s view that reason is our only means to knowledge. They address the implications of this view for the relation between reason and emotions, and for why we need to reject faith.
If you have ever wondered what philosophy is and how ideas shape human life, this series is for you. Join Gloria Álvarez as she interviews Ayn Rand Institute philosophers Harry Binswanger and Onkar Ghate on Ayn Rand’s revolutionary philosophy: Objectivism. This in-depth but accessible discussion series covers a broad range of topics, starting from the fundamentals of philosophy to ethics, politics and art.

I have loved this interview format. Congratulations on the production and thanks for the discussions and information.
Thank you to all three participants for the very best foundational interview on Objectivism!! Just fantastic filled with value for a layman like myself. Gloria knows how to bring out the very best from all three people and it is extremely enlightening. Again, thank you all so much for this foundational information and enlightenment.
Gloria definitely brought out the best.
This is some of the best content I've seen on youtube ever. I think that the minds involved in this series are beautifully articulate, thoughtful and inquisitive. I am learning a lot from this series and am grateful for those whose effort made this possible.
This is so good with Gloria!!!
Loving this content from ARI.
Gloria is one of my top ten all time favorite female names.
Reason is faculty that converts the physical mountain into a mental image of the mountain that we carry around in our mind such that whenever you hear the word mountain, you automatically grasp the physical site of a mountain...
I like this series.
Nice, Thanks for making this
If you want this shared, I think you need to fix the tags. The title and preview do not show up when this link is shared to Facebook.
I would love to hear these same three people give us their opinions of the impact of a visit to Earth by representatives of an Alien Civilization obviously many eons advanced beyond ourselves.d
What are the alien’s intentions? Are they carrying any deadly diseases or radiation? Can we communicate with them? Are they willing to trade with us?
Great stuff! Two quibbles:
- did I hear "everything is knowable"? How would we know that? Or maybe I'm not following...?
- all Newton did is mathematically *_DESCRIBE_* gravity... he explained nothing... we still have no real explanation of any of the fundamental forces (not to diminish what Newton did)
I enjoy that serie but there is some red flag. When Harry say ''all the prophet never said something new or not known before'' it reminded me of when he said in the previous episode that truth doesn't become false tommorow.
Reality is not two there can be no primacy. "Awareness is known by awareness alone," is the sole irreducible axiom of reality..
Awareness of what? Blank out.
Thanks for the subs!. Y por traer a Harry a estas entrevistas, es tan claro, me encanta.
Me fascinó cuando dijo que la fe era básicamente fingir, desde que me llevaban a la iglesia en mi infancia he pensado siempre eso y he tenido que fingir para encajar. No sabía que está bien no encajar cuando los demás están equivocados o mienten.
Gloria Alvarez "wants to believe", I think.
Se podría concluir que el objetivismo es cientificismo puro?
Es puramente objetivo
AYI is a security against obscurantism
Could ıt be that narcıssısm ıs the ıllness whıch keeps people from acceptıng reason? Could ıt be that reason and logıc ıs a threat to theır narcıssısm? Could ıt be that subjectıvısm ıs chosen because ıt ıs an escape from responsıbılıty?
It wıll be ınterestıng to observe how easıly people wıll wrongly call ıt telepathy when Elon Musk enables us to communıcate wıth each other wıthout the use of words.
That IS telepathy. It would just be real instead of fantasy (such as Professor X). But if you invent it first, you can name it something else. How about dreamfasting or mindmelding?
AAAAAAAAAAA A visão que vocês tem do ceticismo é muito caricata. Meu deus (risos).
Existem dois tipo de Ceticismo: O pirrônico e o acadêmico. O Pirrônico é MAIS OU MENOS isso aí que vocês falam, enquanto acadêmico é o que Hume se apropria e soma com o empirismo de Francis Bacon e John Locke, assim ele desenvolve no Investigação acerca do entendimento humano. Que é um livro incrível.
Que agonia.
Belıef: Hopıng that somethıng ıs true because you want ıt to be true. Faıth: ''Pretendıng to know somethıng you don't know''. Peter Boghossıan. Belıef ıs pathetıc, but faıth ıs tragıc!
I'm sorry, but you guys are never going to get this message to proliferate until you find a way to strike this message into the psyche of people on an emotional level. Say It LOUDER with EMOTIONAL content. Where are the fiction writers that can do this?
It's not what Kant said. Again Objectivists completely skew philosophy to their wishes.
"Kantian reason" has many gray zones. those zones are filled with mysticism and skepticism.
@@oscard.fernandezj.3096 it's not what a serious Kant scholar would say - but a dogmatic layman
Can you give a better explanation than “these people don’t understand”?
@@damonhage7451 to understand advanced philosophical concepts, you need to study philosophy for years under proper tutelage. But you can now take a shortcut and watch a video lecture of introduction to Kant's epistemology or whatever. You will learn a ton
@@radiozelaza You don't have such a thing to direct me?
She has cellulitis. Why doesn't she cover that?
Because it pleases her (and me) not to.
Stop objectifying the objectivists.
Because she is a goddess. Kneel before the goddess and revere her beauty.
@@danielborges. man stop simping
@@mrunfausted7746 look up what "simp" means
