Objectivism (Unabridged)
Leonard Peikoff
July 16, 2005
A comprehensive treatise on Objectivism. Readers know I am a fan of the subject. Unfortunately, Peikoff made the mistake that Ayn Rand fortunately did not. You have to communicate to educate and Ayn knew she would have to tell a story (and well at that) to communicate the concepts of Objectivism with more than a few academics. Leonard's work is far too ponderous to be read by anyone but the most devoted. As a member of the devoted, I can say that this could have been far less work to read.
