I believe it comes from "For the New Intellectual," I will try to find
it and give you a more exact citation.  Unfortuantely, none of Rand's
non-fictional works have an index, so it means skimming through it to
find that one phrase.  I did write it down, as it struck me as a good
summation of the polemic that characterizes her "critique" of modern
philosophy.

As I have said, perhaps she might get someone to read Kant or Plato,
to see if she is right.  Unfortunately, I have found none of her 
supporters her have done that.  Pity.
