Re: M-TH: Ayn Rand

[James Farmelant]

A former moderator of this list, Chris Sciabarra, wrote
*Ayn Rand: The Russian Radical* which argues that Rand's
Objectivism is a dialectical philosophy.  He also co-edited a
book *Feminist Interpretations of Ayn Rand*  with 
Mimi Reisel Gladstein which came out last year.  

Sciabarra as long time list members may recall is a libertarian
(a self-described Randian-Hayekian) who did his doctorate
under the Marxist scholar Bertell Ollman.
