Reviews

"Original, seminal, iconoclastic, and groundbreaking . . . a significant and unreservedly recommended pick for personal, professional, community, and college/university library collections and curriculum studies lists." —Midwest Book Review, July 6, 2026

"[The author] speaks plainly, succinctly, and free of smoke, in a language that, while beholden to the vast arcana of the topic, nevertheless examines the premises and conclusions carefully. . . . the book is well worth a read, if not careful study with an encyclopedia, if only to exercise the mind in some of the big questions of 20th-century philosophy, and relegate Ayn Rand to her proper place." —Reader Views, July 22, 2026

"The discussion and consideration collected here is intellectual and comprehensive, but . . . this is meant to be practical, useful information, and the author is careful not to let [the work] get caught up in theory and the ephemeral. —US Review of Books, July 31, 2026
