Course Overview

The DIM Hypothesis: The Epistemological Mechanics by which Philosophy Shapes Society

A 15-session course—part-lecture, part-discussion—by Leonard Peikoff

This course explains and explores Dr. Peikoff's new DIM Hypothesis, applying it to ten different cultural areas as listed in the course outline. The Hypothesis identifies and distinguishes three types of mind: the mind characterized by I (Integration); by D (Disintegration); or by M (Misintegration). In the sessions, Dr. Peikoff points out how all of the influential movements in the areas included reflect—and could only have been created by—one or another of these three mind sets. If enhancing your understanding of today's world is an important concern of yours, Dr. Peikoff believes that you will find a DIM perspective on events to be of significant value.
