Well, from an objectivist point of view, Rand discusses the axiomatic nature of the assumption that there is an objective reality which is knowable and that valid concepts should refer to them.
Going further back in metaphysics, Aristotle in “Metapphysics” book gamma the less, discusses these axioms.
But if you seriously want to reject that, which some philosophers have, then in my view this discussion must be meaningless, as it refers to nothing, and I find that rather uninteresting.
