Follow-up to Contra Peikoff on Rape

Published on February 18, 2012 By JasonStotts

Contra Peikoff on Rape

Published on February 6, 2012 By JasonStotts

by Jason Stotts I think that Leonard Peikoff has done some great things for Objectivism, he is like a demi-Aquinas, but when he talks about sex and sexual issues, it makes me really sad.  Frankly, his position on rape is both disgraceful and disgusting.

But sometimes it seems like I’m not getting anywhere. My progress on Eros and Ethos is moving at a snail’s [...]
