This episode features Naomi Oreskes’s book Why Trust Science? Panelists included Ben Bayer, Jason Rheins, Mike Mazza, and Daniel Schwartz.
Why Trust Science? asks when and why non-experts can trust science. It argues that it is the social character of science that makes it trustworthy.
Our panelists judge whether the arguments Oreskes gives are convincing and examine her views about the value of consensus and diversity in scientists’ beliefs and values. They also discuss the philosophy of science more generally and consider how laypeople should evaluate climate science and anti-vaccine claims.
The discussion covered:
A synopsis of the book; [3:47]
Why we should question the book’s assumptions in the philosophy of science; [11:29]
How lay people should evaluate scientific claims; [26:41]
The role of values in science and policy; [42:23]
Oreskes’s claims about the value of diversity in science; [54:35]
The importance, in some cases, of interdisciplinary consensus; [1:09:12]
Talking to people who don’t trust science; [1:18:10]
Panelists’ general takes on the book. [1:28:51]
The episode was released on October 11, 2024.

to learn more about her radical defense of capitalism.
This was Ayn Rand’s answer to a question asked during a radio discussion of 19th-century capitalism.
Question: What do you make of the charge that although capitalism has led to great material prosperity, it has left men as purposeless “mass men,” concerned only with financial loyalties and self-aggrandizement?

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.
The video was released on September 10, 2024.
