Bowzer Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 (edited) Beyond Objectivism and Relativism ... Has anyone ever heard of this book and have info on it? People sometimes use the word "objectivism" as a noun rather than a proper noun designating the philosophy of Ayn Rand. "Objectivism" used this way just refers to the position that knowledge is objective versus some other position like relativism. They do not have in mind here the Objectivist notion of "objectivity" since this concept is still very foreign to academia. This book isn't what you think it is...unless you really are interested in hermeneutics. P.S -- I just want to add that Miss Rand did not "invent" the word "objectivity." What she did do was to clarify its philosophical meaning--a feat never before accomplished. Edited October 6, 2004 by Bowzer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
