I originally supported putting the Objectivism groups under
sci.philosophy because I was under the impression that the
groups involved the science of philosophy and contained
many different philosophies.
I posted a change of preference to talk because I was
informed the the hierarchy rather dealt with the philosophy
of science, and that the various schools of philosophy
were not represented here.
If this latter impression is correct, it is irrelevant
whether philosophy is a science, and whether Objectivism
meets the definition of a philosophy (it certainly does!).
What is relevant is that, as things stand, the sci.philosophy
hierarchy is not appropriate for this newsgroups; either soc or
talk would be. Putting it in talk would, I suspect, make
passage easier without violating either the spirit or the letter
of the guidelines.
