- * Is Christianity in principle the opposite of Objectivism, or are there distinct varieties of Christianity?
- * What do you think about the Israel vs. Hamas/Islamist conflict?
- * Does Rand’s principle of respecting human beings as ends in themselves agree with Kant’s?
- * Doesn’t Kant’s definition of art agree with or anticipate Rand’s?
- * Isn’t Locke’s epistemology, with its appeal to unknowables, no better or worse than Kant’s?
