Revealing ... your total ignorance regarding Ayn Rand.
"If there is a philosophical Atlas who carries the whole of Western civilization on his shoulders, it is Aristotle. He has been opposed, misinterpreted, misrepresented, and -- like an axiom -- used by his enemies in the very act of denying him. Whatever intellectual progress men have achieved rests on his achievements." -- Ayn Rand
And ... implying that Ayn Rand was an empiricist is akin to classifying the Pope as an atheist.
Well, I have read about ten of her books. I stand by my statement.

Whoa.

Well what was she? Would you please address the "Knower/thing known" problem? It is critical to her entire endeavor.
