And... I just posted a second new podcast -- as compensation for the Sunday morning Philosophy in Action Radio that I missed last weekend. Its a lecture from 2011 on myths about Ayn Rands ideas. Heres the description: What are some common confusions about Ayn Rands philosophy of Objectivism? In this talk, I briefly survey Ayn Rands basic principles, then explore six common but false views about her, namely: (1) Ayn Rand was primarily concerned with politics. (2) Ayn Rand was an elitist: she despised everyone except super-high achievers. (3) Ayn Rands ethics tells people to do whatever the heck they feel like doing. (4) Ayn Rand supported charity: she just thought it should be voluntary. (5) Ayn Rands advocacy of reason and logic excludes any concern for emotions. (6) Ayn Rands ideas are compatible with belief in God and Christianity. This talk was given to the Free Minds Film Festival on 8 October 2011.
