== Objectivist views on art` ==
[[User:Walrus|Walrus]], if you're watching this talk page, then hear this:
I know Objectivism almost as well as does [[Leonard Peikoff]] himself, if he's still alive. And I'll have you know that everything I wrote about Objectivistic aesthetics comes directly from issues of ''The Objectivist'' and ''The Ayn Rand Letter'' that bear directly on the subjects in question.
Your edit is suspect for one reason all by itself: that you left the section on aesthetics completely blank when you were done. In short, you deny what I have said, but have nothing to say in the alternative. This is not the way to help build an encyclopedia, dear sir (or madam, as the case might be).
As to Objectivism not accepting [[God]], I challenge you to show that Objectivism did not reject God. Rejection of the concept of God pervades Objectivism, and all of [[Ayn Rand]]'s writing. "Mysticism!" she routinely accused--and to quote Branden directly, she "regard(ed) anyone who described himself or herself as a mystic, as a crackpot or a charlatan." (See Branden, Nathaniel, ''The Benefits and Hazards of the Philosophy of Ayn Rand'').
If, in closing, you care to dispute any of these points, then please do so here.--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]]<sup>[[User talk:TerryH|Talk]]</sup> 21:08, 12 May 2007 (EDT)
