JOSLIN ON OBJECTIVISM

Objectivism, by not acknowledging deflated truth, uses Aristotelian argumentation as justification for certainty by a “platonic elevation” of reason as a “perfect form”.

This leads to:

1) unwarranted certainty in truth claims (a justification for god-speak)

2) dismissiveness regarding detractors without bearing the burden of proper criticism.

3) The above two points isolate thinking to criteria defined by a platonic ideal. The result has proven to be a cult-like mentality
