Hi, I was wondering if there is a list of the axioms of Objectivism. Also, if axioms are, by definition, unprovable, how can you be sure that these are true and that, say, religious axioms are not (eg, "The bible is always right, if it seems it is wrong, you are wrong")? For example, how do you know that "reality" is evidence for anything?
