Review title: Rambling, incoherent -- do not buy
Product review: I own many hundreds of books and have never written a review before. If I could give this book a negative score, I would. It's not that this book contains well-thought-out discussions of controversial issues, it's that it's poorly written and nonsensical. Scott Ryan is a theist, specifically, a pantheist whose primary loyalties are to Judaism (this is nearly a direct quote from Mr. Ryan, see page 390).If this book represents his genuine attempt to debate the relative merits of Objectivism vs. some alternative, it's a colossal failure. It's full of equivocations and apparent misreadings of both those philosophers he likes and dislikes. It alternates between large blocks of quoted materials and smaller out-of-context quotes mingled with irrelevant minutiae. It's terrible.This book is as incoherent as Scott Ryan's own apparent beliefs. If you want to learn about Objectivism or pantheism, or Judaism, or anything else -- don't buy this book.
