Rand's Axiom Problem: On Objectivity, Ontology, Essence, Epistemology, Deduction, Induction, and the Foundations of Knowledge
Russell Hasan
ASIN: B09CKL8YML
Publisher: unknown
Pages: 40

This short paper contests and disputes the foundations of Objectivist epistemology, challenging Ayn Rand's position that axioms are the basis of all Objectivist logic, and instead asserts that perception and perceived things, not axioms, are the starting point for the set of inferences which build up and culminate in the blooming flower of human epistemology and the reasoning mind. A perfect introduction to the discussion of what it means for something to be objective or subjective for the philosophy novice, but still with enough meat on the bone for the seasoned philosophy veteran to find fascinating new ideas.
