The One in the Many
A Conversation with Ron Pisaturo - Part 5
In this episode we discuss chapter five - Concepts - of Ron's book A Validation of Knowledge.
Concept formation is based on the work of Ayn Rand as developed and presented in her book Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology.
Throughout the episode we discuss:
The Role of Concepts in Man's life.
Units, as integrated stream of data, integrated in a specific way.
Conceptualization is volitional arrangement of our experiences.
With concepts we expand our range of awareness.
Role of the axiomatic concepts, existence and identity.
The relation of similarity and difference to the law of identity.
Direction of abstractions, from narrower to wider concepts.
Invariance vs. Variance
Toward the end of the episode we touch on proprioception.
