In this final segment of my interview with Ron Pisaturo we discuss the last chapter of his latest book A Validation of Knowledge. The chapter title reads Making Our Inductions More Powerful and Robust. Ron shows how we achieve greater enumeration through integration and talks about basic integration, integration using causal explanation, and integration through discovering elemental particles. He briefly discusses the leverage arising from volition, and previous inductions as well as the law of ...

In this episode, Ron Pisaturo, author of A Validation of Knowledge, discusses his theory of Causality and Induction. How do we arrive at a conclusion on the basis of one observation? How do we assign initial probability? How do we know that causality is a plausible theory? These are some of the questions that Ron raises and answers. What does it mean to assign a probability of one half to a possible outcome? Ron discusses how causality and equally likely possible outcomes prove induction. The N/...

In this episode Ron Pisaturo, author of A Validation of Knowledge, discusses chapter eight titled Causality and Induction. Probability theory is an aspect of epistemology. We need to find equally likely possible outcomes. Steps in theory of causality: - Existence causes consciousness, causal interaction - Existence is regular/consistent, entities express that regularity - The N/(N+1), all characteristics are range of measurements Send us a text...

In this episode of my series of conversations with Ron Pisaturo we start the discussion of his chapter on Mathematics from his latest book A Validation of Knowledge. Ron starts us off with a further explanation and clarification of his approach to the theory of meaning. What does meaning refer to? The essence of mathematics is centered on the understanding of the uniform unit. In the chapter on Mathematics, co-authored by Glenn Marcus, Ron and Glenn present a logical progression of the developme...

In this session Ron discusses his chapter on Propositions from his book A Validation of Knowledge. What are propositions? The significance of subject and predicate sets up the beginning of Ron's explanation on the purpose of propositions. Sentences specify the logical order of the relation between existence and identity. We use the subject to direct attention to something, and use the predicate to tell something about it. What do we mean when we say the morning star is the evening star? What is ...

In this episode Ron discusses the terms subjective and objective as related to consciousness. What is a proposition? Proposition is to a sentence what a concept is to a word. Why do we have sentences? Propositions are more specific than concepts. Phrases narrow the scope of our Knowledge through differentiation and integration. In the next episode we continue with the subject of propositions and explore the order of subjects and predicates. Send us a text...

In this episode we discuss chapter five - Concepts - of Ron's book A Validation of Knowledge. Concept formation is based on the work of Ayn Rand as developed and presented in her book Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology. Throughout the episode we discuss: The Role of Concepts in Man's life. Units, as integrated stream of data, integrated in a specific way. Conceptualization is volitional arrangement of our experiences. With concepts we expand our range of awareness. Role of the axiomatic co...

In this session Ron covers topics related to perception of entities, similarity as less-difference and looking for the unchanging. Another subject of discussion has to do with the persisting nature of consciousness and understanding regularity through logic. Ron makes the point and explains that interaction is more fundamental than action. There is a brief discussion of the law of identity in respect to entities acting in persistent way according to their nature. Focusing on our object of awaren...

In this session Ron summarizes the content of the first three chapters of his latest book A Validation of Knowledge. We discuss his chapter Perception of Entities and Ron talks about mistakes in perception, half way through our conversation. Using probability in validating knowledge is something that distinguishes Ron's understanding of epistemology from other schools of thought. After a brief reading of how much there is involved in understanding perception, we leave much of the perception rela...

Ron Pisaturo is the author of A Validation of Knowledge - A New, Objective Theory of Axioms, Causality, Meaning, Propositions, Mathematics, and Induction , with a chapter on Mathematics co-written by Glenn Marcus. In this inaugural interview with Ron we discuss the origin of the idea for the book, one of its main distinctive characteristics relating implicit knowledge of axioms to explicit knowledge of causality, what is hierarchy and what is order. After a short explanation of the relationship ...

From Asia to Egypt to Greece, our ancient ancestors shared an insatiable curiosity to find out who we are. The first inscription at the Temple of Apollo read Know Yourself. The ability to differentiate and integrate are the two essentials required for human flourishing and help the individual through interpersonal, extrospective and introspective experience to know himself. Philosophically the world matter, psychologically you matter. Your desire to see the world makes your life possible. Your d...

In this episode I introduce you to the formal approach to the one in the many in human personality and character. It is one of the three fundamental modes of integration or a mixture of these that fundamentally augments or hinder our lives. Your moral essence is the persisting and permanent stamp in your psychological sense of life. It is the link between your philosophical ideas and psychological value orientation, the link between your virtues and values as identified and practiced by you that...

Esthetically, our perceptive experiences of the world and others directly reflect on our sense-of-life. Psychologically, man’s sense of life is the most fundamental in him. It is his compass that gives direction to his path in life. The generosity of a benevolent soul can alter the sense of life of a man of miserable existence as it was shown by Victor Hugo in Les Misérables . The power of perception can ignite a war or flame a heart in love; It can draw the Mona Lisa, or splash red paint on a c...

At the core of any functional society is the institution of the family. It is through the interaction with parents and siblings that we first learn how to relate to others and how others relate to us. As we develop from infant to toddler, from a child to adolescent, to adult, we begin distinguishing policies for individual vs. collective behavior, personal vs. public relations, we develop appreciation for the freedom of production and act to achieve related values.

The evolution of civilized life of a human is correlated with the refinement of his code of ethics. To achieve a psychological homeostasis in a civilized society, we need to implement an objective, universal and standard code of ethics based on and guided by nature and directed by our consciousness. Individually, man is an integration of body and mind, collectively men are members of a group integrated by their custom. Individually, man manifests seven emotions — anger, contempt, disgust, enjoym...

In this episode I traced the link between the second branch of philosophy, epistemology, with the second branch of psychology, consciousness. The faculty of reason, through differentiation and integration of the interpersonal, extrospective and introspective experiences of a child form his independent judgement to preserve the integrity of his experiences and develop a healthy emotional attachment to his senses and perceptive mechanism. The child’s ability to identify and explicitly hold an obje...

My purpose in starting The One in the Many podcast is to explore the process of integration as related to psychology. Integration, or as its Ancient Greek formulation is stated - The One in the Many, is inspirational, energizing and corrective. When we "connect the dots" that life has spread around us, we feel empowered and motivated to pursue more connections leading to a better and more efficient living standard. The process of integration is life generating, universal and ubiquitous. Every va...
