My review of Allan Gotthelf and James G. Lennox’s Concepts and Their Role in Knowledge: 
Reflections on Objectivist Epistemology (University of Pittsburgh Press, 2013) is now out in Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews.
Gotthelf and Lennox jointly edited the volume and provided essays of their own. The other contributors are Benjamin Bayer, Jim Bogen, Bill Brewer, Richard Burian, Onkar Ghate, Paul Griffiths, Pierre LeMorvan, and Gregory Salmieri.
The review‘s opening: “The most important issue in modern philosophy is the relationship between consciousness and reality. Allan Gotthelf and James Lennox have collected a highly-competent set of essays …”
Dr. Hicks, what is your estimation of modern philosophy in-general as it stands today vs. Ayn Rand’s time? Is it even more brazenly irrational than it was back then, or do you see rationality making a comeback? I was surprised to see Aristotle ranked so highly in that professional philosophers’ survey you published a while ago (and unpleasantly surprised to see Hume on top of it).
Great review and a must-have book.
Recently read two excellent general surveys of ideas – philosophical, scientific and technological – by Peter Watson: ‘Ideas: A History of Thought and Invention, from Fire to Freud’ and picking up where it leaves off ‘The Modern Mind’. A bit to my astonishment I found that he considers the experiment and the free market the two most successful modern ideas, and Marxism and Freudianism the two greatest failures. He dwells in depth on the remarkable achievement of the American founding fathers and explicitly suggests a revival of Aristotelianism as a restorative for modern society.
Dr. Hicks, I enjoy watching your lectures on youtube and I really love the clear and concise way you present ideas. Thanks Doc!
