Why Trust Science? by Naomi Oreskes | ARI Bookshelf Ayn Rand Institute 2024-10-11 | The new ARI Bookshelf podcast series gives you a window into ARI’s educational programs by showcasing faculty discussions of books of recent interest.This episode features Naomi Oreskes’s book Why Trust Science?

Egoism Without Permission – It Begins with Desire | Tara Smith Ayn Rand Institute 2024-10-09 | Many people who support rational egoism nonetheless struggle to fully live it due to subconscious premises and psychological baggage left over from years led by antithetical moral codes. This lecture previews Dr. Tara Smith’s book on the subject, Egoism Without Permission: The Moral Psychology of Ayn Rand’s Ethics. After offering an overview of the project, Dr. Smith drills down on a critical but often misunderstood element of healthy happiness: desire. We will see how, while reason is man’s means of survival, desire is man’s reason for surviving.

Karl Poppers Rejection of Induction | Mike Mazza Ayn Rand Institute 2024-09-23 | How does science work, and how does it differ from religion or pseudo-science? According to Karl Popper’s “falsificationism,” science, unlike religion and pseudo-science, doesn’t claim certainty; it aims only to disprove its hypotheses, and this is the source of its rationality. Popper proposed his theory as an alternative to the view that science distinguishes itself by proving its conclusions inductively. In this lecture, Mike Mazza discuss the reasons behind Popper’s anti-inductivism and falsificationism and how they undercut the rationality of science.Recorded live on June 16th in Anaheim, CA as part of OCON 2024Want to join us next year?: events.aynrand.org/oconSubscribe to ARI’s YouTube channel to make sure you never miss a video:youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=AynRandInstituteDownload or stream free courses on Ayn Rand’s works and ideas with the Ayn Rand University app:– App Store itunes.apple.com/us/app/ayn-rand-university/id1452535178?mt=8– Google Play play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aynranduARI is funded by donor contributions.

Freely Determined by Kennon M. Sheldon | ARI Bookshelf Ayn Rand Institute 2024-09-10 | A new ARI podcast series, ARI Bookshelf, gives you a window into ARI’s educational programs by showcasing our faculty as they discuss books of recent interest. This episode discusses Kennon M. Sheldon’s book Freely Determined. Panelists include Ben Bayer, Jason Rheins, Greg Salmieri, and Gena Gorlin.Freely Determined offers a psychologist’s case against popular forms of determinism and argues that mental health depends on a belief in one’s agency. Our panelists examine Sheldon’s arguments and positions from a wider philosophical perspective and indicate its strengths and weaknesses. They find value in his answers to scientific arguments for determinism but question his account of motivation. They also discuss the value of psychological research and the relationship between philosophy and the sciences.The discussion covered:● Panelists’ general take on the book;● The history of arguments for and against free will; ● How mental health may depend on a belief in one’s agency; ● The book’s distinction between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation; ● The book’s vague conceptualization of the self; ● Why progress in psychology is messy.
