Title: A THINLY DISGUISED PITCH FOR AYN RAND
Review: This book was recommended to me by a fellow student in my philosophy class, who I later learned was the leader of the campus Objectivist group. It is essentially an argument for a naive form of realism that -- surprise, surprise -- turns out to be identical with Ayn Rand's views!To paraphrase the Scottish philosopher David Hume, who has far more claim to the title of philosopher than either Kelley or Rand, "commit it to flames, for it contains nothing but sophistry and illusion."A more informative read would be Jeff Walker's book, The Ayn Rand Cult. As for philosophy, stick with the greats: Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Locke, Hume, Kant, Russell, etc. If you want an introduction to epistemology specifically, Roderick Chisholm's book, Theory of Knowledge, is excellent and unfettered by any hidden agenda.
