Fri, 1 Dec 2000 01:36:02 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Mr.Eyore - Expressing an opinion on Ayn Rand is like expressing an opinion on the Bible or the Backstreet Boys. People who believe have strong, even virulent, views. And they're not takin' any of your cr*p. An attack on the author or the philosophy is an attack...

Rand, Ayn: The Ayn Rand Ideology

Tue, 18 Jul 2000 15:00:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jmk444 - Ayn Rand was a brilliant philosopher with an acerbic personality and a ponderous writing style. Her most well known works, Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead are thinly veiled polemics whose message punctures the surface of the story like...

Thu, 13 Jul 2000 22:54:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author caconti - While this actually may seem to be a book review by yours truly, I’m not actually here. This is a reasonable facsimile, a trick done with lights, mirrors, and a lot of swamp gas. I personally am actually in the mountains of the Piedmont, participating...

Tue, 2 May 2000 17:22:36 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mantis - Most opposition to Ayn Rand’s philosophy, Objectivism, seems to come from religion. This is not surprising, as Objectivism is an atheistic, materialistic philosophy. However, belief in the supernatural is not the only basis for rejecting Objectivism...

Wed, 15 Mar 2000 13:05:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author DiamondDave - This was Ayn Rand's masterpiece, and probably the best book I've ever read.
