andie holland Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 Andie Are you saying that Rand was mistaken to take the Law of Identity as an axiom, or that knowledge understood prior negates current meaning ? I'm confused about the point you are trying to make. Neither. I'm saying that logic is a formal process of ordering thought. It says nothing of content. For example--as my medieval, fellow- Salamancas pointed out, asserting that Jose is a unicorn because he fits a unicorn definition says nothing as to the reality of unicorns....
