True, but Rand's philosophy deals entirely in absolutes, and is resistant to reconciliation with any other philosophy. Any golden mean approach need not apply.

So, yes, it's a silly word, but by that same measure Objectivism is a silly philosophy.
- unalone 18y agoIt's a silly philosophy with some grains of truth behind it. I think it's absolutely worth studying. Similarly, I doubt anybody would call Gladwell's writings a "philosophy." He doesn't write all his books with a single, unified theory around them. Each one pursues a separate venue.
