About this title: Today man's mind is under attack by all the leading schools of philosophy. We are told that we cannot trust our senses, that logic is arbitrary, that concepts have no basis in reality.

"In "The Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology", offers an interesting perspective about the role of knowledge , and the Problems of Philosophy about the eternal problem if it is possible to comprehend our reality, or if this "Reality" is just a mere, partial representation of our incongruent mind. The solution is not easy. In the Classic period, the works of Plato and Aristotle were decisive in the interpretation of our system of Knowledge. In the way in which we interpret these concepts, we can understand the knowledge, science and progress in every society, and the fate of Human's mind in the next generations...Interesting work about the study of human Knowledge and Epistemology."
"This book is very basic - but was very difficult, for me at least. I found myself not able to make every logical jump Rand thought proper. A little weird, since I agree with so much of what Rand says. I don't think I ever actually finished the book, since I could not agree with some pretty fundamental jumps she made.
I've read Atlas, Fountainhead, We the Living, Anthem, Night of Jan. 16, Capitalism: the Unknown Ideal (my favorite of hers), Virtue of Selfishness, and several other books of her essay compilations. I'm NOT an enemy of Rand, but rather a BIG supporter, with an open and always trying to be logical mind."
