We see here a distinction between what is called the “nominalist” view of language, in which language is merely the product of an agreement between users to signify an object by a particular word, and the “realist” view, in which words are connected to the nature of the thing they signify. Ayn Rand has presented a method to form objective concepts that eliminates nominalism. Then, objective concepts can be arranged by means of logic to result in objective knowledge. This eliminates the subjectivism of leftard loons.
