Reason and Value: Aristotle versus Rand: Objectivist Studies | Number 3

A #1 Kindle Bestseller in "Epistemology"

Roderick T. Long offers a new interpretation of the differences between Aristotle and Ayn Rand in ethics and epistemology. Among the issues at stake: Can Randâ€™s epistemology account for the actual ways in which we learn and use knowledge? Does Aristotle share Randâ€™s commitment to sense perception as the foundation of knowledge? What is the meaning of the ethical standard of manâ€™s life qua man? This groundbreaking volume includes detailed critical commentaries from Aristotle scholar and Bowling Green State University Professor Fred D. Miller, Jr. and from Objectivist scholar Eyal Mozes. An extensive reply from the author concludes the discussion.
