Review title: There IS NO other kind of Objectivism.
Product review: The 'sickening mess' of which some complain is the DIRECT result of books like this one. Rand herself fostered the 'cult' mentality and it is woven into the very fabric of her 'philosophy'. This volume is a very good example: she presents a 'history' of philosophy in which she classifies every major thinker other than herself and Aristotle as either an 'Attila' or a 'Witch Doctor'. There have, in Randworld, been just two philosophers in all of history who were not out to destroy the human mind, and Rand is the only one who got things altogether right. The ENTIRE purpose of this propagandistic little book, and of the 'Objectivist' movement itself, is to create a class of New Intellectuals who unreservedly agree with this assessment and will act to keep the One True Philosophy from being compromised while the rest of the world hurtles to its death a la ATLAS SHRUGGED. So if you think there's some other way to be an 'Objectivist' - check your premises.
