Apie paskaitą:
Social atomism is a view of the nature of people and society which arose in Europe in about the 17thCentury. It informs much contemporary social and political thinking. In the first part of this talk I will argue that it is false, drawing on arguments from Marxism and Buddhism. In the second part of the talk I will explore the consequences of this fact for political economy. We will be concerned with capitalism, ideology, self-interest, and the environment.
Apie lektorių:
Graham Priest is a Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the Graduate Center, City University of New York (CUNY).
Much of his work has been in logic, especially non-classical logic, and related areas. He is perhaps best know for his work on dialetheism, the view that some contradictions are true. However, he has also published widely in many other areas, such as metaphysics, Buddhist philosophy, and the history of philosophy, both East and West.
