Aynalytic Philosophy, Part 2

May 13

By Roderick

Ayn Rand and Objectivism

In yet further related news, my friend David Gordon is offering an online course on Ayn Rand through the Mises Academy. Sign up now!

I must chide David, however, for his claim that “few activities are as much fun as philosophical arguments.” A philosophical argument is not an activity; it is a connected series of statements intended to establish a definite proposition, and as such is an abstract structure, not a process in time.

    By “philosophical arguments” could David mean the sense of the term in “having philosophical arguments” rather than “discussing philosophical arguments”?

    No it isn’t.
