Reviews

[Justin · Rating 4 out of 5]

Les composantes éthiques et politiques sont les plus intéressantes, à mon sens, de la philosophie objectiviste. Pour l'épistémologie et l'esthétique, ça reste assez en surface.

A thought-provoking read

I've had an interest in Ayn Rand's works for some time. This guide provides a very nice summary of her philosophy. I agree with almost everything in the guide, although I do have a problem with the idea that a limited government shouldn't have such things as zoning laws.
This guide will appeal to anyone who wants to know about Ayn Rand's philosophy presented to the reader in a concise and very readable form.

A quick-read book that provides a simple, easy-to-absorb introduction to Philosophy and where Objectivism fits. I picked this book after I completed Atlas Shrugged to get better clarity on some of the philosophical concepts. This book served that purpose very well. I plan to re-read this after a few months to keep refreshing the basics.

Great Primer

As a newly yo the ideas of Ayn Rand, I found this to be a great place to go to get a baseline for her philosophy. Thanks, Atlas Society!
