The second part offers critiques of Peterson's work, some of which are prudent and others of which are weaker. The book is an essential contribution to anyone who wants to better understand Peterson's ideas and scrutinize them in a rational context.","PeriodicalId":35149,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Ayn Rand Studies","volume":"20 1","pages":"410 - 416"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42829889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
