Abstract
ABSTRACT:The author assures readers that Chris Matthew Sciabarra has met all Aristotelian (if not Objectivist) requirements in full, providing not one but two definitions of "dialectics," which, as the art of context-keeping, is indeed an essential part of Ayn Rand's philosophical method. He shows how Sciabarra's definitional process compares quite favorably in terms of timeliness, transparency, and benevolence to that of Rand and other Objectivists, and notes that Sciabarra's overriding concern, notwithstanding his obvious great respect for Rand's substantive philosophical achievements, has been to identify and clarify the methods she and other thinkers have used to profound benefit.
