"Ayn Rand: The Russian Radical is a fundamental challenge to
everyone to reassess the remarkable thought of a remarkable
woman."--David M. Brown, The Freeman
"[Ayn Rand's] impact was through her fiction, and attempts to
extract her philosophy have usually resulted in thin intellectual
chicken soup. This book is an exception. . . . [Ayn Rand: The
Russian Radical] is essential for Rand fans and for academics who
want to analyze her thought."--Leslie Armour, Library Journal
"Chris Matthew Sciabarra wrote a powerful book. It is not easy
reading, but it is a MUST for all Randians, all individualists, and
all men and women who believe in and live by the precepts of truth,
reason, and freedom."--Jack Schwartzman, Fragments
"In light of her fierce individualism, it may seem odd that Mr.
Sciabarra locates Rand's roots in the Russian Revolution. But in
The Russian Radical, he draws on long-forgotten writing by Rand's
professors at the University of Leningrad to illustrate her early
exposure to dialectics, the process of overcoming contradiction
between a given and its opposite through synthesis of the
two."--Chronicle of Higher Education
"Sciabarra shows that Rand is best understood as a postmodern
thinker, for she was really concerned with creating a culture that
overcame the dichotomies of modernity: empiricism/rationalism;
facts/values; body/mind; and prudence/morality. This important and
thoughtful work will change how the views of this deep and
disturbing thinker are understood."--Douglas B. Rasmussen, St.
John's University
"Several books have been written about Rand, but none with the
philosophical depth and scope of Ayn Rand: The Russian Radical. It
brings to light information about Rand's philosophical education
that is not available elsewhere and shows that this education was
substantial. Rand's ideas will no longer be able to be dismissed as
merely shallow ideology."--Tibor Machan, Auburn University
"This book reveals the distinctively Russian aspects of Ayn Rand's
philosophy. As such, it is a major contribution to the public's
knowledge and understanding of this controversial and still popular
writer."--Bernice Glatzer Rosenthal, Nietzsche in Russia
"This is the most thorough and scholarly work ever done on Ayn
Rand. It is also very engagingly written and commands attention
throughout. Of all the noteworthy features of the book, the most
unique is the lengthy description of Ayn Rand's early years, her
education in Russia, and particularly of the teachers who
influenced her and had a lasting influence on the structure of her
thought."--John Hospers, University of Southern California
