William Parker Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Greetings, forum readers. We will hold our third, nearly-fortnightly meetup in Columbus on May 31st. We will have a discussion of the topic of certainty and its contextual nature. Questions to address are: Does reason lead to certainty? What establishes certainty? How does knowledge advance from possible to probable to certain? What distinguishes the possible from the arbitrary? We will discuss Ayn Rand's answers to these questions. Please read chapter 5 of Objectivism : the Philosophy of Ayn Rand by Leonard Peikoff beforehand (though do come even you don't). Also, see the Ayn Rand Lexicon entry on certainty: http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/certainty.html In summary: Sunday, May 31, 2009 1:30pm - 3:30pm Columbus Metropolitan Library - 3rd Floor board room 96 S Grant St Columbus, OH 43215 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
