The Three Archetypes of Integration: Plato, Aristotle and Kant by Leonard Peikoff

DIM Hypothesis I by Leonard Peikoff - Lesson 2 of 6

Course playlist:    • The DIM Hypothesis I by Leonard Peikoff  

In this lesson, Leonard Peikoff discusses the three fundamentally different methods of integration and the three philosophers who embody each method: Plato, Aristotle and Kant. Peikoff also discusses two variants: a modern version of Platonism exemplified by Descartes—which he calls “worldly supernaturalism,” and a modern version of Kantianism exemplified by Comte, which he calls “knowing skepticism.”

Recorded in July of 2007 at the Objectivist summer conference in Telluride, Colorado.
