That admission is by Nathaniel Branden himself, the best student Ayn Rand claimed to have until he started questioning her.
Just look for Ayn Rand, Objectivists, and the history of philosophy
HA! Gotcha!

So, the "fact" that she never read Herr Kant's writings was stated by this, er, Nathaniel Branden? Remember that all "knowledge" is contingent- thanks to the Postmodern condition (which I hate **shakes fist**, but)...Meaning that this Nathaniel Branden could have said anything in scholarly circles, but, how do we know for sure that she in fact did not read Herr Kant's writings, if she herself did not admit to not having read them? I'm just going by who-said-what in a logical manner...In other words, this Nathaniel Branden, although very close to the "Devil herself", is really a secondary source of info and thus not quite accurate...Logically, if he started questioning her, he will inevitably "twist the truth" a little by saying that she never read Herr Kant's writings...
