TheEgoist Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 The title says it all. My favorite is probably "Your thoughts on Hume's Criticism of Induction". The thread offers some of the best free commentary on the matter of induction, philosophy of science and the nature of certainty. There have been a couple of threads on cosmology that have been superb as well, but I can't think of the title of any at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenure Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 (edited) I love this post by Betsy where she states the basic difference between Rand and most academics is their repudiation of objectivity (a bit of a 'Well, duh!', but it bears repeating): http://forum.ObjectivismOnline.com/index.p...ost&p=47976 In fact that whole thread, from that point on, is a good discussion of Rand's method and why the fact it is not 'academic' is what's so damn good about it!

TheEgoist Posted October 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 No better way to spend your Saturday night than searching through OO.net for great philosophic discussion Russell's Paradox is a great thread centering around philosophy of language and Rand's theory of concept-formation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
