Interview: Rand, Kant, Israel v. Islamists, & Career integrity—Stephen Hicks with Vinay Kolhatkar and Roger Bissell

We covered a lot of ground in one hour:

  • * What if one has to choose between career advancement and one’s principles, e.g., getting a job an ideologically uniform and socially authoritarian university?
  • * Is Christianity in principle the opposite of Objectivism, or are there distinct varieties of Christianity?
  • * What do you think about the Israel vs. Hamas/Islamist conflict?
  • * Does Rand’s principle of respecting human beings as ends in themselves agree with Kant’s?
  • * Doesn’t Kant’s definition of art agree with or anticipate Rand’s?
  • * Isn’t Locke’s epistemology, with its appeal to unknowables, no better or worse than Kant’s?
