Has Philosophy over stepped it's boundaries?

[dissily mordentroge]

I'm tempted to quote Ayn Rand's epistemology here but since she's regarded as a non-philosopher by the 'wise' I'll desist.

You do realize that Rand opposes this view of Philosophy. And she may not be well-liked among philosophers but that doesn't make her less of one.

I'm unsure what is meant here by 'opposes this view of philosophy'.
And yes, not being well-liked ( I'd say loathed) among philosophers certainly doesn't make her less of one. I have a lot of respect for her epistemology although finding a great deal of her political and ecomonic theory absurd. In particular the baseless assumption the laws of supply and demand necessarily function to maximum benefit as the public will always act out of rational self-interest. But hey, this risks getting a long way off topic.
