Summary: Dr. Gregory Salmieri joins Andrew Bernstein and Arshak Benlian on "Objectively Speaking" to discuss the literary brilliance, moral and philosophic themes of the most important book in man's history - Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. "Gregory Salmieri received his Ph. D. in philosophy from the University of Pittsburgh in 2008. Between 2008 and 2012, he was a visiting assistant professor in the Philosophy department at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. He is presently a Visiting Fellow in the philosophy department at Boston University. Dr. Salmieri's research focuses on ancient philosophy, epistemology, and ethics. One theme running through a number of his projects is the role played by theories of concepts or universals in epistemology. A second theme is the realtion between virtue and self-interest. Much of his current work addresses these issues as they arise in Aristotle's thought." (Academia.edu, Gregori Salmieri profile)
