Reason and Value: Aristotle versus Rand
by Roderick T. Long

Auburn University professor of philosophy Roderick T. Long offers new interpretations of Aristotle and Ayn Rand in ethics and epistemology. Among the issues at stake:

• Does Rand's thought contain Platonic, Humean, Hobbesian, and Kantian elements?
• Can the Objectivist epistemology account for the actual ways in which we learn and use knowledge?
• Does Aristotle share Rand's commitment to sense perception as the foundation of knowledge?
• What is the meaning of the ethical standard of man's life-qua-man?

This groundbreaking volume includes detailed critical commentaries from Aristotle scholar and Bowling Green State University Professor Fred D. Miller, Jr. and from Objectivist scholar Eyal Mozes. An extensive reply from the author concludes the discussion. Sure to ignite debate! (123 pp.)
