More From Bertrand Russell

...there ... remains a huge following [of ayn rand's philosophy] of those who ignore the indiscretions, infidelities, and moral inconsistencies of the founder and focus instead on the positive aspects of her philosophy. there is much in it to admire, if you do not have to accept the whole package... criticism of the founder or followers of a philosophy does not, by itself, constitute a negation of any part of the philosophy... criticism of part of a philosophy does not gainsay the whole.
