There is something thats is confusing me. Ayn Rand said logic is "the art of non-contradictory identification". But said, too "art is the selective recreation of reality". I cant see how this fits with "non-contradictory identification". Unless there has a very particular definition ot "art" in this context as volitional application of the "laws of thought" in the very thought - which is tantamount to the liberal Trivium-based definition of art as application of principles of nature. In the objectivist case, our "thought as thought about existence". But I need some visibility here. Someone?
Art is made by selecting certain aspects of reality to highlight, while discounting or even ignoring those aspects that one deems less important. I am not sure what does not fit with non-contradictory identification. (?) Perhaps this is more clear? "Logic is non-contradictory identification." Leaving off 'the art of' does not really change anything. BTW, have you read The Romantic Manifesto?
Ayn Rand is incoherent. There is nothing to be found there. Stick to thin libertarian theory (all thick theories, including ogbjectivism, are filled with made up stuff based on psychologica biases of their creators). Good example of thin theory is voluntaryism.
I think two things are important here: 1. It's "re-creation" not "recreation" 2. You didn't use the entire definition from the lexicon "Art is a selective re-creation of reality according to an artist’s metaphysical value-judgments." Leaving off metaphysical value judgments is important. Making value judgments is selective, and making those value judgments without contradictions.
Logic is a selective recreation of reality based on the most fundamental metaphysical value judgement: existence exists. (i.e. it is to value the fact that existence exists by using that fact as the fundamental principle in one's thinking).
7:50-8:21 -- One of the most powerful, brilliant, least known, appreciated (or even understood) insights into Rand's thinking that I have ever heard; she was perhaps the most profoundly CONCEPTUAL mind in all of human history. Given today's rampant ANTI-conceptual mindset, it's no wonder she is so reviled and despised (especially by the so-called "intellectuals" in our society). She is a stark, continuous reminder of THEIR abysmal failure to teach the proper philosophical ideas that are so crucial to happy, healthy living on earth.
I agree, I haven't come across( other Authors/thinkers) anyone like Ayn Rand, she was meticulously ruthless while applying reason. Here in India, if you come to see the way schools are run, you would laugh and become sad at the same time.
"This guy is just a charlatan! " -- Says someone who supplies NOTHING in the way of evidence, knows NOTHING about philosophy and logic. STRONG stench of Troll here...
@@zieben64 So what's your point? Do you think that logic is "a bunch of hot air"? If so, did you even listen to the entire talk? If you did watch the whole thing, are you, a rank amateur in the field of philosophy, presuming to know more about the subject than a professor who has studied it for decades? Just curious...
This is exactly what a quality education looks like.
Ayn Rand would certainly prefer the Object-oriented programming.
I highly recommend his book "How We Know" although I've found new content already in this lecture.
Wow! ARI is just killing it with the uploads these days! What's happening?! :)))

Wonderful lecture. People viewing this should take notes.
@MastersMasterson Salty boy

Really? you can't realize the use of the word 'art' is different in each statement? fallacy of Equivocation

It is illogical to take a class in logic, what am I doing here?
