	Phil Elmore: Individual Authoring Services
		A concept subsumes an unlimited number of instances: the concretes one isolated, and all others (past, present, and future) which are similar to them.
		Concepts are neither supernatural nor subjective: they refer to facts of this world, as processed by man’s means of cognition.
		Epistemologically, the concept of "value" is genetically dependent upon and derived from the antecedent concept of "life." To speak of "value" apart from "life" is worse than a contradiction in terms.

	Should Atlas Shrugged Have Had A Religious Figure? - Objectivism Online Forum
		Atlas Shrugged also served as an antidote aimed not the postmodernists or the religious crowd, but academics who had made honest errors of knowledge....like Tony the "wet nurse" who was able to become a moral man before he died.

	Concepts and the Problem of Universals.
		The relationship of concepts to their constituent particulars is the same as the relationship of algebraic symbols to numbers.
		In the same manner, by the same psycho-epistemological method, a concept is used as an algebraic symbol that stands for any of the arithmetical sequence of units it subsumes.
		Let those who attempt to invalidate concepts by declaring that they cannot find "manness" in men, try to invalidate algebra by declaring that they cannot find "a-ness" in 5 or in 5,000,000.

		In Atlas Shrugged, all this debased inhuman riffraff is lumped as "looters." This is a fairly inspired epithet.
		Atlas Shrugged can be called a novel only by devaluing the term.
		From almost any page of Atlas Shrugged, a voice can be heard, from painful necessity, commanding: " To the gas chambers— go!" The same inflexibly self-righteous stance results, too (in the total absence of any saving humor), in odd extravagances of inflection and gesture— that Dollar Sign, for example.

	Atlas Shrugged and the revolution
		If you’ve ever read Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand you might appreciate the irony of having one of Rand’s supporters and co-authors Alan Greenspan play a major roll in perpetrating the same kind of fascist/national socialist fraud on the American people and global investors that the 'second handers' in Rand's story do.

	"This is John Galt Speaking" from "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand (Part 1)
		You have been taught that morality is a code of behavior imposed on you by whim, the whim of a supernatural power or the whim of society, to serve God's purpose or your neighbor's welfare, to please an authority beyond the grave or else next door-but not to serve your life or pleasure.
		Centuries ago, the man who was-no matter what his errors-the greatest of your philosophers, has stated the formula defining the concept of existence and the rule of all knowledge: A is A. A thing is itself.
		No concept man forms is valid unless he integrates it without contradiction into the total sum of his knowledge.

		Money will not purchase happiness for the man who has no concept of what he wants; money will not give him a code of values, if he's evaded the knowledge of what to value, and it will not provide him with a purpose, if he's evaded the choice of what to seek.
		There was a time when men believed that 'the good' was a concept to be defined by a code of moral values and that no man had the right to seek his good through the violation of the rights of another.

	Mark Riebling, "Atlas Shagged"
		We know that she read Nietzsche voraciously, that he was the principal influence on her prose style, that she took from him certain terms and concepts (e.g., "sacrificial animal").
		Desmond Morris' series, "The Human Animal," which in concept objectivists should be the first to tout, for it shows that beauty is certainly not in the eye of the beholder.
		The only concepts here which might be construed as cognitive are in the secondary uses of the term, in (3) and (4); and even then, we have only a natural aptitude or "power," a potentiality, a propensity -- not discrete conceptual content.

	Ayn Rand, Anti-Communism, & the Left
		It is revealing that as Rand refined her idea of the heroic personality from the Howard Roark of The Fountainhead to John Galt in Atlas Shrugged, the type became steadily drained of, indeed, personality.
		For Leibniz's view of concepts to work, one would have to have, as Leibniz well understood himself, the infinite knowledge of God: It would be impossible for our finite understanding to encompass all the characteristics of all the individuals of their kind.
		Rand's theory of concepts, regarded by both Rand and her successors as the centerpiece of her thought, leads, as in Leibniz, to a view of all truth as essentially analytic.

	Objectivism - Objectivism Explained page 1 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Objectivism is a philosophy first synthesized by the philosopher and novelist Ayn Rand, made popular by her famous novels Atlas Shrugged (nominated second most influential book in history by the Library of Congress, after the Bible) and The Fountainhead.
		While a lot of philosophy today is considered (perhaps rightly) as "idle babbling", a rational philosophy ought not to talk solely from abstract concepts and pure reasoning, but rather from concepts that are informed by sensory experience and logic.
		Furthermore, it is a deductive whole : every concept in Objectivism is derived logically from prior concepts (except, by necessity, for the axioms, which we will see on the next page).

	Atlas Shrugged - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The story "The Rogue" by Libertarian Science Fiction writer Poul Anderson seems to transfer many of the themes of "Atlas Shrugged' to a future Science Fiction setting.
		In the story (later collected in Anderson's "Tales of the Flying Mountains") the thriving and fast-expanding American mining colonies in the Asteroid Belt are a haven of capitalist enterprise, reminiscent of Colorado in Rand's book.
		People like the protagonist, mining tycoon Michael Blades (who has many resemblances to the industrialists in "Atlas Shrugged") can and do get personally wealthy - which is virtually impossible in the earthbound USA where the Social Justice Party holds power in Washington.

		To commemorate this occasion the Ayn Rand Bookstore is pleased to present a range of high-quality products featuring the official Atlas Shrugged 50th Anniversary graphic developed exclusively by the Ayn Rand Institute with the approval of the Estate of Ayn Rand.
		Ayn Rand held that "philosophy is primarily epistemology," the "science devoted to the discovery of the proper methods of acquiring and validating knowledge." This class surveys Rand's "new approach to epistemology"—the most original and least widely understood aspect of her thought.
