AnalPhilosopher--Keith Burgess-Jackson, J.D., Ph.D. - Why is Rand not treated well? There are, off the top of my head, five reasons. First, she was not credentialed. While she attended college, she did not receive a graduate degree. Second, she wrote for a popular audience (i.e., an audience of intelligent laypeople). Third, she was a woman. Fourth, she was an egoist and a capitalist, both of which go against the academic grain. Fifth, she’s envied. Let me address these reasons in turn. I welcome elaboration and criticism from other philosophers.[read more] (Added by Robert Davison on 8/07, 2:51pm)
