In the course of her re-conceptualization of key philosophic issues, she formulated brilliant new definitions of many concepts. Building on her base, Leonard Peikoff has nearly doubled the number of philosophic terms formally defined by Objectivists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis glossary was originally conceived as a compilation of these formal definitions. After reviewing the literature, however, we decided to broaden its scope to include terms that meet at least two of the following three criteria: (1) the term has a formal definition (or near to it); (2) it is philosophically important; (3) its meaning is dramatically clarified by Objectivism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThus, in addition to formal definitions, this glossary includes characterizations that are near-definitions of terms (though not meeting the requirements of formal definitions), statements of philosophic principles, and descriptions of axiomatic concepts. (Since axiomatic concepts can be defined only ostensively, the entries for these terms are merely descriptions.)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leonard Peikoff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0996010181\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780996010184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ayn Rand Institute\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/05\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 76\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.16d","brand":"Leonard Peikoff","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44410493468927,"sku":"9780996010184","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c45868e9-4c8f-438d-a762-18e5100b5b2d.jpg?v=1697536466","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/glossary-of-objectivist-definitions-leonard-peikoff-9780996010184","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
