Aristotle and Darwin: Antagonists or Kindred Spirits? | James Lennox

from The Ayn Rand Institute Podcast · host Ayn Rand Institute

https://youtu.be/7Wjrmh8CjAk Podcast audio: As a historian and philosopher of biology, much of Dr. James Lennox’s research has focused on the philosophical foundations of history’s two greatest biologists: Aristotle and Charles Darwin. Historians and philosophers often portray these two giants as diametrically opposed in their approach to the study of life. But were they? In this talk, he provides a novel answer to that question — and guidance on how to engage with such questions objectively. Recorded live on June 18 in Anaheim, CA as part of OCON 2024.
