Emotions as the Products of Ideas

—Damian Moskovitz

Course Description:

Emotions are thought by many to be direct products of experience, and it is often said that we should trust our feelings when deciding what is true and how we should act. Ayn Rand successfully refuted these ideas by showing that emotions are the products of ideas. Damian Moskovitz will expound and concretize the Objectivist theory of emotions and explain how we can act in accordance with this theory to improve our ability to achieve knowledge and happiness. Mr. Moskovitz received his B.A. from Harvard University. He was recently an intern at TOC and is currently an educational consultant and co-founder of the Common Sense Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
