Rand's Aristotelianism: via Aquinas or via Averroes? Posted by Adam Reed on 9/20, 5:52pm | ||
Before Ayn Rand's disciple Alan Gotthelf went back directly to Aristotle, interpreters of Aristotle, probably including Ayn Rand's teachers, used the insights of Averroes and Aquinas. In the second essay on the linked-to page, Mark Sunwall argues that of the two, Averroes had the greater influence on Rand's thought. Note that Sunwall uses the term "rationalism" differently from Rand. | ||
