Souls aren't substances "in" real things, but rather the platonic form of humans.

I agree with a lot of her metaphysics and epistemology actually, it's just at ethics that she starts breaking down, partly because it's all a rationalization for her boner for capitalism.

This is not a defense of Objectivism. Objectivism is very much a "it's according to human nature" philosophy. A is A is pretty much Rand's mantra, after all.

Her ethics are only Aristotelian superficially. She starts from some type of virtue ethics (life = ultimate good, so good = that which works towards life, virtue being the behaviors and beliefs that help further life) and then inexplicably transitions into hard deontology ("initiation of force" is ABSOLUTELY wrong).

She also had this autistic hateboner for Plato.

Hi friends,
Looking for a glossary or summary of terms for understanding Plato's dialogues.
(thesis, premise, etc)
For instance, "Aporia" is a concept which is found in every dialogue and which is necessary for giving a coherent understanding of his method. Looking for some sort of amalgamation like this for a friend who is just beginning.
Thanks
