"What is dialectics? Dialectics is the art of context-keeping. It counsels us to study the object of our inquiry from a variety of perspectives and levels of generality, so as to gain a more comprehensive picture of it. That study often requires that we grasp the object in terms of the larger system within which it is situated, as well as its development across time ."

How I Became a Libertarian, 19 Dec 2002
"... [Rand's] was an articulated philosophy that gave me encouragement not to wallow in self-pity and dismay, but to make the most of my potentialities. ... as an undergraduate, I chose a triple major in economics, politics, and history ... I was a founding member of the NYU Chapter of Students for a Libertarian Society."

Interviews
Interview with Chris Matthew Sciabarra, by Peter Jaworski, Sense of Life Objectivists, 22 Apr 2002
"Context-keeping means that one must understand any political idea, like freedom, in terms of its philosophical, cultural, and historical preconditions. One must never drop the larger context: the fact that political freedom requires intellectual freedom and economic freedom, and that certain social-psychological and cultural preconditions are necessary if one is to sustain freedom."
