FYI, here's a real beauty of an essay that unspun found. Lots to chew on here -- if you have the time and interest.

Oh-oh. Now I'll have to read it more thoroughly.

Thanks for the ping -- I don't have time at the moment to do more than scan the first part, but this jumped out at me:

... a much criticized response to this question has been to assume a "godlike" position in which all knowledge is regarded as an accomplished fact.

It occurs to me that objectivists pretty much have to assume this to be the case, in the sense that their principles supposedly are, in and of themselves. (Theists, too, assume this....)

Thank y'all so much for the heads up! I look forward to pondering this is much detail. Hugs!
