Why is it considered bad ?

>>9235576
Start with the Greeks and work your way back up to her and you'll see why

Is the only problem with her that her work isn't as good as the handful of great philosophers from centuries ago ? In that case are there any modern philosophers of note ?

Start with the fucking Greeks retard

Many. But you'd benefit more from going through the classics in the established canon than from any contemporary ('modern philosophy' is a much wider era than I assume you meant) philosopher if you aren't much of a reader.

That whole image didn't explain why she was bad rather than saying

>She doesn't have a degree in philosophy and her work isn't scholarly

So granted her work isn't scholarly as it is a fucking novel, why then is the book hated so much ?

You asked why she 'gets so much shit,' and not for substantive criticisms. Maybe if you tell us what you find agreeable about the philosophy she espouses throughout her works we can better help you.

All of this ignores the fact that she simply isn't a very good writer---quite bad, in fact---but most of the hate for Rand is in regards to her thinking and not her writing. Well, on here it might be the writing.

Well I agree with rand that everyone should focus on the individual. I am also completely for capitalism in it's purest form, which I understand isn't well received on this board. So I would have to disagree that this board doesn't like her for her writing, I think the board doesn't like her ideology.

is Stirner for mongoloids

>>9235697
Stirner was a post modernist commie. Nothing like Rand

I'm the guy who posted the image. I'm a conservative and I hate Rand's novels 'solely' from a literary perspective. Her philosophical contributions are pretty bad too. Not entirely because of the conclusions but because of her arguments and methodology, as the image points out. There are plenty of people here and in academia who dislike Rand but like, say, Nozick or Huemer or Hayek or Friedman.

Publishers tried guerrilla marketing with her, that's it.

She is nothing special, and certainly not a philosopher.
