Description

A groundbreaking solution to the problem of induction, based on Ayn Rand's theory of concepts.

Inspired by and expanding on a series of lectures presented by Leonard Peikoff, David Harriman presents a fascinating answer to the problem of induction-the epistemological question of how we can know the truth of inductive generalizations. Ayn Rand presented her revolutionary theory of concepts in her book Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology. As Dr. Peikoff subsequently explored the concept of induction, he sought out David Harriman, a physicist who had taught philosophy, for his expert knowledge of the scientific discovery process. Here, Harriman presents the result of a collaboration between scientist and philosopher.

Beginning with a detailed discussion of the role of mathematics and experimentation in validating generalizations in physics-looking closely at the reasoning of scientists such as Galileo, Kepler, Newton, Lavoisier, and Maxwell-Harriman skillfully argues that the inductive method used in philosophy is in principle indistinguishable from the method used in physics.

Great job, thank you very much for your help in understanding on how to use the inductive method to make our lives better!

I had to re-listen many times to grasp the continuity of ideas that David and Leonard laid out, but it was well worth it. With this work, the road is paved to move physics (and all other sciences) forward, resulting in an even larger benefit to human beings. For me this work was an monumental as “The Introduction To The Objectivist Epistemology”, and “Objectivism, the Philosophy of Ayn Rand”. (Especially Leonard’s courses on Aristotelian Logic, and Objectivism Through induction are very helpful in understanding this book, I’m glad I listened to them prior to listening to this) Thank you very much again for your effort to create this work.
