  • were the articles more descriptive, or how was criticism expressed.

    It seems like the book might be worth owning for the introductions alone, a way to give a synopsis to the different areas of philosophy.

  • The introductions to each section were fantastic.

    Most of them analyzed her ideas and tried to find flaws in them. The best articles were the ones that attempted to provide solutions to these flaws that didn't fundamentally alter Rand's basic premises.

  • Was Ayn Rand ever exposed to the works of Spooner and Gustave De Molinari?

  • I'm not sure. I don't think she ever mentioned either of them.

  • Tibor Machan is pronounced "TEE-bore muh-KANN."

  • Douglas Den Uyl appeared on C-SPAN when it broadcast parts of the Atlas Shrugged 50th anniversary conference that the Atlas Society organized. He pronounced his last name "Denial."

  • cool, nice review

  • Kewl, I just listened to the first eight chapters today!

  • Yeah and a lot of people make their decisions on feelings. Even other people's feelings.

  • Good video, might pick up this book. Thanks.

  • Both you and soitoldhimno have valid points. I gained from watching this - but only because I've watched a lot of your other videos and read a lot of analyses of Rand.

    However, for the uninitiated to XOmiverse or Rand herself (whom you seemed to be primarily addressing), perhaps you should have titled your video "My feelings about The Philosophic Thought of Ayn Rand."
