E11 - The Human Element
Manage episode 322346695 series 3312435
In this episode, Jonathan does a close read of the first scene between Dagny and James Taggart. James protests against Dagny's approach to business by citing some half-baked theories about capitalism and morality. Jonathan picks apart the argument and identifies some of the straw-man arguments that Ayn Rand deploys through the voice of James Taggart. Jonathan also analyzes James's reaction to Dagny in the context of patriarchy.
Today's Moment of Non-Contradiction comes from Quora.
My five themes to explore in this podcast's close read of Atlas Shrugged are:
- What is human nature?
- Straw-man arguments and their impact on the world Ayn Rand creates.
- Dagny Taggart as a true hero.
- How empathy can be de-legitimized.
- What is Capitalism and what is wrong with it?
