Why do philosophers ignore Ayn Rand?
It is clearly evident that not only are Ayn Rand's teachings sensible, at least in terms of people, or at least most people, being able to relate them to something completely knowable, but they are quite unique in that no philosopher before has made it a point to stand up for everything she is proposing. So why is it that philosophers pretend she doesn't exist? It's completely immature. They have a substantial amount to lose by people picking up on her teachings, so I'm guessing they ignore Ayn Rand so that they themselves aren't ignored by the public over whose eyes they have currently pulled the wool.
