Essays on Ayn Rand's Objectivism Home E-mail me at SandGRyan@att.net Ayn Rand (1905-1982), born Alissa Rosenbaum, is believed by many of her followers to have been in some way remarkable as a philosopher. At one time, up until as recently as late 1998 or early 1999, I described (and regarded) myself as a somewhat sympathetic critic of Objectivism and thought there might possibly be something salvageable in Rand's philosophy if one stuck as close as possible to her political theory. (I'm a "green libertarian"/classical-liberal/free-market-capitalist myself.) My mind was changed in part by a close and thorough examination of her epistemological writings and in part by (thanks to the Internet) extensive correspondence with lots of people who have tried to put her principles into practice. My own evaluation of her is now very different indeed from that of her followers, and in my book Objectivism and the Corruption of Rationality: A Critique of Ayn Rand's Epistemology , I attack the very foundation and centerpiece of her philosophy: her allegedly groundbreaking work in epistemology, from which "Objectivism" takes its name.

Ayn Rand A Russian-born American writer who originated a philosophy known as Objectivism, Ayn Rand, b. Feb. 2, 1905, d. Mar. 6, 1982, advocated capitalism in economics and individualism in ethics. Two novels, The Fountainhead (1943) and Atlas Shrugged (1957), contain the heart of her philosophy: that rational self-interest should be the basis of action and that self-fulfillment is an individual's moral responsibility, with productive achievement the noblest activity. She saw altruism as both a personal and a political weakness. Rand collected her philosophical writings in For the New Intellectual (1961) and, from 1962 on, edited a newsletter called The Ayn Rand Letter. Her private letters, edited by Michael S. Berliner, were published in 1995. LIBRARY HOME

The author explores why. A WELL-INFORMED FRIEND asked me recently why Ayn Rand is so popular among young gays and lesbians. ÒIs she?Ó I asked. He assured me that he keeps running into young gay Rand fans in social circumstances and on the Internet. Just recently a gay man visiting his home page told him he should read Ayn Rand. I had not thought much about it before, but it seems reasonable that a writer who stresses individuality, trusting your own perceptions and confidence in your ability to achieve against the odds would be popular among young gays who might feel particularly assaulted by social pressures contrary to their own deepest feelings. Some background here. Ayn Rand (1905-1982) was a novelist and philosopher best known for three remarkable, long novels:

Rand, Ayn American novelist and philosopher, whose championing of the gifted individual established her as a controversial figure in 20th-century literary and philosophical debate. Rand upheld individualism over collectivism and egoism over altruism. She staunchly defended reason as the tool that sustains and nourishes the individual against the forces that can weaken it. Born in Saint Petersburg, Russia, Rand immigrated to the United States in 1926. She worked sporadically as a screenwriter and script reader in Hollywood, California, until 1943. Her first two novels, We the Living (1936) and Anthem (1938), portray dystopias and dictatorships as warnings against monolithic sociopolitical systems such as Communism and Fascism. Atlas Shrugged (1957), a lengthy and popular novel, depicted five characters in a fictional America moving toward a bizarre form of socialism. The book was criticized for its severe characterizations and raised concerns about the harshness of Rand's search for the perfect egoist. After the book's publication, Rand stopped writing fiction. She worked as a public speaker and began to publish a newsletter, first called The Objectivist Newsletter (1962-1965), then The Objectivist (1966-1971), and later The Ayn Rand Letter (1971-1975). Her increasing visibility as a lecturer on objectivism led her to write the nonfiction books The Virtue of Selfishness: A Concept of New Egoism (1964) and Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology (1967).

The Week's Famous and Infamous Women Ayn Rand Ayn Rand was born in Russia into a comfortably well-off family. If the Russian Revolution hadn't occurred, she very likely would have stayed in her home country and may even have lived out her life in relative obscurity. But history happened. Her family's business was taken over by the state, quality of life deteriorated steadily under the Bolsheviks, and in 1926, two years after Ayn graduated from the University of Leningrad, she escaped to the United States. She settled first in Hollywood and while working various movie studio jobs she wrote screenplays, selling the first one in 1932. Her next success was a stage play, The Night of January 16th , that opened in 1936 and enjoyed a long New York run. But Ayn really made a name for herself when she turned to novels in which she expressed her emerging anti-Communist philosophy. Her first two books were We the Living and Anthem , but it was with her third, The Fountainhead , that she became a best-selling author and proponent of a philosophy she called Objectivism . Originally rejected by 12 publishers, the novel was published in 1943 and told the story of Howard Roark, an architect struggling to retain his creativity and individuality amid the collective, conformist aspirations of society.

Her first novel, We the Living (1936), took a close look at Russian communism. "It is as near to an autobiography as I will ever write," she explained. Rand is best known for The Fountainhead (1943), with memorable character Howard Roark, loosely based on Frank Lloyd Wright , and Atlas Shrugged (1957), her 1168-page masterpiece and last work of fiction, in which heroine Dagny Taggart forged Objectivism, a doctrine that championed self-interest and "rational selfishness." "There are two sides to every issue," Rand believed, "one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil." Controversial and panned by critics, she continued to write with passion that unbridled capitalism was the touchstone of success . "Pain is not a valid reason for stopping," she believed. Her heroic characters celebrated integrity, dedication, and

Startsida Begreppet liberal Liberalismens historia De liberala tänkarna ... Vilka är vi? Ayn Rand - den livsbejakande liberalismens filosof Ayn Rand (1905-1982) är en av de ledande tänkarna bakom den liberala renässansen i västvärlden. Som ingen annan kombinerade hon det traditionella försvaret av kapitalismens välgörande effekter med ett moraliskt försvar för den fria individen och det fria förnuftet. Men Rand är betydligt mer djuplodande än andra politisk tänkare. Hon skapade ett helt filosofiskt system av kunskapsteori och etik som hon menade att politiken måste bygga på. Genom ett försvar för förnuftet, det upplysta egenintresset och laissez-faire-liberalismen gav hon ett inspirerande alternativ till alla dagens dominerande tankeskolor. Rands liv Ayn Rands idéer Det moraliska är det praktiska Moraliskt försvar för liberalismen ... Litteraturtips Rands liv Ayn Rand föddes och växte upp i S:t Petersburg i Ryssland 1905 och upplevde den kommunistiska statskuppen och hur de nya härskarna förstatligade familjens apotek. Hon flydde från landet till USA, för att bli författare i den nation som hon såg som frihetens högborg. Men hon upptäckte snabbt att idéer om kollektivets makt över individen började få inflytande även i Amerika. Så kom det sig att hon allt mer kombinerade en författarkarriär med politiskt och moraliskt engagemang för individualismen. På 30-talet, när kommunismen och fascismen var på frammarsch skrev hon romanerna

She came to America at the age of 21 after having witnessed the Communist revolution at the age of 12. Throughout her life, she fought against tyranny, and for freedom and individual rights, with an eloquence and clarity of moral vision that has never been surpassed. In a foreword to her first novel, We the Living , Rand wrote: "When, at the age of twelve, at the time of the Russian revolution, I first heard the Communist principle that Man must exist for the sake of the State, I perceived that this was the essential issue, that this principle was evil, and that it could lead to nothing but evil, regardless of any methods, details, decrees, policies, promises and pious platitudes." On the matter of whether the United States has the right to liberate 6-year-old Cuban refugee Elián Gonzalez, who has the right to be free, Ayn Rand wrote the following more than 30 years ago, in her essay on "Collectivized Rights":

I have always lived by the philosophy I present in my books—and it has worked for me, as it works for my characters. The concretes differ, the abstractions are the same." Ayn Rand (1905-1982) certainly did live her life on a grand scale. She witnessed the Russian Revolution as a girl, emigrated to the United States as a young woman, and struggled in this country for many years, often in poverty, to make real her idealistic vision of man's heroic potential. She never wavered, never compromised. In part because of the ignorance and hostility of reviewers, Rand's remarkable first novel, We the Living , was not a success when originally published. Several more years would pass before the publication of The Fountainhead in 1943 brought her financial security and lasting fame. She could now spend more than a decade squirreled away in her apartment, dreaming up and living in the world of
