For the POLANYI reading, you should focus on the chronology of the breakdown the author gives us – what ideas were used as a springboard for the next set, etc. What role does the question of Truth play in the presented history? What axiomatic idea was actually challenged by the Darwinian claims? Is there a way to keep Darwin and the axiomatic idea?

For the PETERSON video, focus on the breakdown of the postmodernism: does it work? Where does Dr. Peterson suggest it might break down? What Implications can you draw out of it? How are the ideas of self, free will, truth, and objective knowledge related and where do these ideas break down in postmodernism?

For the NIHILISM video, focus on the problem of subjective values. What happens when the idea of right and wrong is up to every person? What can go wrong? How does this relate to the POLANYI reading (look at his historical trajectory of where that leads)? How does this relate to the ideas of self, free will, and the kinds of ideas about thinking we began the course with.
