Antirational

This view is further illustrated by bringing forward the Catholic doctrines, showing the “antirational notion of them,” and thus exhibiting “the mysterious bearings and incomplete character of the Revelation.”

Rand refused to detach even a seemingly radical rebellion from the social totality in which it emerged. The New Left was as much an outgrowth of the antirational as the culture it had rejected.

His own conception of a genuine (fifth order) postmodernism is not at all antirational and embraces everything that was a source of real strength in the fourth (“modern”) order of consciousness.
