Objectivism
As its name indicates, this page is dedicated
to Objectivism, the philosophy of Ayn Rand.
One may explore Objectivism best through her
novels and non-fiction works.The philosophy
centers around, as Rand herself states, "the
concept of man as a heroic being, with his own
happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with
productive achievement as his noblest activity and
reason as his only absolute." The ideas which
proceed from this ideal are intriguing, if only
for their refreshing originality and audacity.
However, because Objectivism is full of complications and
logical breaches, I cannot accept it as my creed, though
there are certainly some ideas of value within the philosophy.
Consequently, I recommend that anyone interested delve into
Rand's writings, but with a healthy skepticism, resolved to escape
the seduction of her ideas.
