Extractions: HOME NEWSLETTER BACK ISSUES AUTHORS ... LEGAL Ayn Rand, 1905-1982 March 1982 Ayn Rand, author and philosopher, died March 6 at her home in New York City. The author of Atlas Shrugged The Fountainhead and numerous non-fiction works was influential in the libertarian movement, even though she personally disapproved of it. Her philosophy of objectivism argued for the supremacy of reason, the individual and capitalism. She will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by her legions of fans. In today's troubled times, her works and her wisdom are more needed than ever. The philosophic seeds she spread have taken root and perhaps this generation will see the philosophic revolution she inspired but which failed to materialize in her lifetime.

Extractions: Ayn Rand By Catherine Daligga The eldest of three sisters, Ayn Rand was born Alissa Rosenbaum on February 2, 1905, in St. Petersburg, Russia, to Fronz and Anna Rosenbaum. Her father, a pharmacist, had his own shop, a rare position for Jews in Russia. A precocious child, Alyssa declared herself an atheist in her early teens, and while she never denied her Jewish heritage, she also never softened her opposition to religion or any other form of "mysticism." The privations she and her family endured as a result of the Russian Revolution, Including the Bolsheviks taking possession of her father's business, affected her deeply. Somehow she managed to survive the purges of bourgeois students long enough to obtain a degree in history from the University of Leningrad in 1924. At the university, she took a few classes in American political history and found the principles expressed in the Declaration of Independence fascinating. Despite the progressively isolationist policy of the Soviets, some Western exports still found their way to Russia in the 1920s. For Alyssa, the most important were American movies. Conditions in the United States-at least as depicted on the screen-impressed her as strongly as conditions at home repelled her, so when distant cousins provided the miraculous opportunity to travel to the United States, she did not hesitate. She turned twenty-one in Berlin, on her way to America. At immigration, she announced that her first name was Ayn (pronounced to rhyme with "pine"). Shortly after, she chose the second part of her beloved typewriter's brand name for her surname.

Extractions: Life Ayn Rand's life was often as colorful as those of her heroes in her best-selling novels The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged . Rand first made her name as a novelist, publishing We the Living in 1936, The Fountainhead in 1943, and her magnum opus Atlas Shrugged in 1957. These philosophical novels embodied themes she then developed in non-fiction form in a series of essays and books written in the 1960s and 1970s. Born in St. Petersburg, Russia, on February 2, 1905, Rand was raised in a middle-class family. As a child, she loved story-telling, and she decided at age nine to become a writer. In school showed academic promise, particularly in mathematics. Her family was devastated by the communist revolution of 1917, both by the social upheavals that the revolution and the ensuing civil war brought and by her father's pharmacy's being confiscated by the Soviets. The family moved to the Crimea to recover financially and to escape the harshness of life the revolution brought to St. Petersburg. They later returned to Petrograd (the new name given to St. Petersburg by the Soviets), where Rand was to attend university. At the University of Petrograd, Rand concentrated her studies on history, with secondary focuses on philosophy and literature. At university, she was repelled by the dominance of communist ideas and strong-arm tactics that suppressed free inquiry and discussion. As a youth, she had been repelled by the communists' political program, and now an adult, she was also more fully aware of the destructive effects that the revolution had had on Russian society more broadly.

Ayn Rand (19051982). Thoughts on Love, Self and Soul. Short BiographyLOVE. To say I love you one must first know how to say the 'I'. (*1).
http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Ithaca/7583/rand.html

Extractions: Short Biography LOVE "To say I love you one must first know how to say the 'I'." Love is a response to values. It is with a person's sense of life that one falls in love with that essential sum, that fundamental stand or way of facing existence which is the essence of a personality. One falls in love with the embodiment of the values that formed a person's character which are reflected in his widest goals or smallest gestures, which create the style of his soul the individual style of a unique, unrepeatable, irreplaceable consciousness." "Observe how noisily the modern intellectuals are seeking solutions for problems-and how swiftly they blank out the existence of any theory or idea, past or present, that offers the lead to a solution. Observe that these modern relativists with their credo of intellectual tolerance, of the open mind, of the anti-absolute-turn into howling dogmatists to denounce anyone who claims to possess knowledge. Observe that they tolerate anything except certainty-and approve of anything except values. Observe that they profess to love mankind, and drool with sympathy over any literary study of murderers, dipsomaniacs, drug addicts and psychotics, over any presentation of their loved object's depravity-and scream with anger when anyone dares to claim that man is not depraved. Observe that they profess to be moved by compassion for human suffering-and close their ears indignantly to any suggestion that man does not have to suffer."
Rationalist Party Of Patria - The Voice Of Ayn Rand In The 47th Congress
The Rationalist Party promotes atheism, freemarket capitalism, and theteachings of Objectivism, from the works of Ayn Rand (1905-1982).
http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/Senate/5646/ration.html

Extractions: The Rationalist Party of Patria is a new party for the 47th Congress. The Rationalist Party promotes atheism, free-market capitalism, and the teachings of Objectivism, from the works of Ayn Rand (1905-1982). For more than a decade, thanks largely to the Spiritual Regeneration Movement , Patria has been choked by Hindu dogma, guru personality cults and new-age hocus pocus. The latest atrocity is the Amrita Party , foisted upon Patria by Amma's groupies. The Rationalist Party aims to end the Hindu theocracy, take the gurus out of government, and return Patria to a foundation of secular, scientific thought. Rationalists believe in scientific, rational thought not arcane rituals, prayers and chants in ancient, dead languages, and good-luck-charm idols. If God exists, we want verifiable proof in a laboratory. For a truly free Patria, for a Patria where Man not God is supreme, vote Rationalist. What is Objectivism? Ayn Rand named her philosophy Objectivism and described it as a philosophy for living on earth. Objectivism is an integrated system of thought that defines the abstract principles by which a man must think and act if he is to live the life proper to man. Ayn Rand first portrayed her philosophy in the form of the heroes of her best-selling novels

Extractions: (1905-1982), writer, lecturer, and editor Ayn Rand was born on February 2, 1905, in St. Petersburg, Russia. She graduated from the University of Petrograd in 1924 and two years later emigrated to the United States. She initially worked as a screenwriter in Hollywood and became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1931. Her first novel, We, the Living, was published in 1936. The Fountainhead (1943), her first best-selling novel, depicts a highly romanticized architect-hero, a superior individual whose egoism and genius prevail over timid traditionalism and social conformism. The allegorical Atlas Shrugged (1957), another best-seller, combines science fiction and political message in telling of an anticollectivist strike called by the management of U.S. big industry, a company of attractive, self-made men. The political philosophy that shaped Rand's fictional worka deeply conservative philosophy that posited individual effort and ability as the sole source of all genuine achievement, that thereby elevated the pursuit of self-interest to the role of first principle, and that scorned such notions as altruism and sacrifice for the common good as liberal delusions and even vicesfound more direct expression in Rand's nonfiction, including such works as For the New Intellectual The Virtue of Selfishness Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology (1967), and
