Abstract
In his article, “The Logic of Liberty” (Journal of Ayn Rand Studies 12, no. 1), Roger Bissell uses an analytical diagram to show that Ayn Rand was wrong to characterize the differences between liberals and conservatives in terms of the mind-body dichotomy. Bissell claims that the key philosophical difference is not the mind-body dichotomy, but the malevolent universe premise. However, the diagram Bissell uses to discredit Rand's position exhibits a serious design flaw: it presumes the mind-body split by implying the metaphysical superiority of one over the other. This fundamental flaw in his analysis renders his criticism of Rand invalid.

Abstract
In his article, “The Logic of Liberty” (Journal of Ayn Rand Studies 12, no.
1), Roger Bissell uses an analytical diagram to show that Ayn Rand was wrong to characterize the differences between liberals and conservatives in terms of the mind-body dichotomy.
Bissell claims that the key philosophical difference is not the mind-body dichotomy, but the malevolent universe premise.
However, the diagram Bissell uses to discredit Rand's position exhibits a serious design flaw: it presumes the mind-body split by implying the metaphysical superiority of one over the other.
This fundamental flaw in his analysis renders his criticism of Rand invalid.
