Empirically Inclined

I thought Shawn Klein did a great job in his 3-lecture series at the TOC summerfest. He described Locke and Hume's empiricism, and how Rand improved on some of their weak assumptions, particularly those points that lead to Hume's skeptical streak.

I don't like to knock
Locke.

But he did make room
For Hume.

But skeptics
Make me dyspeptic.

I take my stand
With Rand.

Seeing is knowing;
Then you keep going,

Using reason to extend
Knowledge without end.
