Roger Bissell Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 The cascade of edited/published volumes of Peikoff's old lecture series continues! The latest one, on philosophy of education, apparently slipped under the radar two months ago...REBhttp://www.amazon.com/Teaching-Johnny-Think-Philosophy-Objectivism/dp/0979466164/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1396678620&sr=1-1&keywords=leonard+peikoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brant Gaede Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 The Amazon blurb says "Leonard Peikoff is the preeminent Rand scholar writing today." If he knows anything about scholarship he has consciously engaged in massive fraud regarding the use of Rand's intellectual estate as opposed to gross incompetence. Mix threm up to find out what he's been actually about.--Brantand yes, he's no scholar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 That seems like a revamp of "Why Johnny can't think," from the seventies. Thanks, Roger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDS Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I anxiously await the publication of his "Principles of Grammar." Never before have so many throat clearing noises been summoned on behalf of the war against dangling participles.Going from cough to throat clearing, Mr. Leonard taught us all wonderful grammar stuff...** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I noticed that Amazon links you to Binswanger's book, "How We Know," as frequently bought by people who looked at Leonard's review, then their was a link to a fictional Peikoff book. Is that Amy's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caroljane Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 First Dr Mrs Dr's new old dissertation, now Peikoff's new old lesson plans following Pigero's new old articles. I better get cracking on Xin Chu and Abdullah's ESL Level 7 Tales of the Sacred Igloo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoAMadDeathWish Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Why does Peikoff think he is qualified to be an education expert?How long until he publishes Philosophically Corrupt Medicine: How Kant Destroyed the Science of Homeopathy and An Objectivist Introduction to Feng-Shui?

Peter Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 First Dr Mrs Dr's new old dissertation, now Peikoff's new old lesson plans following Pigero's new old articles. I better get cracking on Xin Chu and Abdullah's ESL Level 7 Tales of the Sacred Igloo. Never heard of it. Is it worth reading? The "Igloo" part of the title makes me wonder if it is about Inuits, and please, don't call them Eskimos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caroljane Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 lol Worth reading? Modesty forbids. You've already read most of it if you followed Canadian Boring thread. Combined with the ESL part I expect to craft a crossover volume of dynamic interest to the vital demographics of Outdated Canadiana Fans and People Who do are Not Good at Reading English..

Peter Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Ah, you Canadians, always wanting to come to America. Don't you love the way we make the continent ours? We put Canada into "Upper, Too Cold America" and Mexico into "Central America," in our thinking and actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDS Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I am thinking of self-publishing my lengthy list of witty comments and rejoinders from my OL tenure. This is just a working title, but how about: "My Years With Phil, Neil, and Greg: A OL Commenter's Manifesto". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 PDS wrote, “This is just a working title, but how about: "My Years With Phil, Neil, and Greg: A OL Commenter's Manifesto".” Doesn’t sound scholarly enough, and vaguely communistic. If you leave someone name off the title, you will hurt their feelings, and IF they are listed it might alert the NSA. The term ‘my years’ should only be used if it is twenty years later and everyone is dead. Pry the corner staple out and fling those pages to the wind. I think that is all the triteness I can come up with. Oh, and keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
