Objectivism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Metaphysical objectivism, a philosophical stance that holds that reality is objective. The group of writers known as the Objectivist poets. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Objectivism   (55 words)

Neo-Objectivism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Some Neo-Objectivists remain relatively close to Objectivism, merely rejecting (for example) Rand's "life-to-value" argument in ethics, Leonard Peikoff's analyses of cognitive error and the nature of moral evil, Rand's views about human psychology, or Rand's views on the philosophy of art. Some think that it is compatible with Objectivism to accept the possibility of the spiritual or the supernatural. Consequently, some Neo-Objectivists are agnostic rather than atheistic, while others embrace modified forms of Buddhism and Paganism (as these have components which are seen as compatible with Objectivist ideals). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Neo-Objectivism   (380 words)

One, Two, Three...Prosperity Because Neo-Tech is tearing Objectivism away from their elitist "leaders" and propelling it forward, into the hands of the honest, non intellectual, working class -- beyond the control of dogmatists and elitists. Objectivism is a philosophy rooted in Aristotle, discovered by Ayn Rand, nailed down by Dr. Leonard Peikoff, and now being dispersed globally through Neo-Tech. As a result, propelled by integrated honesty, orgasmically exciting Neo-Tech/Objectivism is spreading throughout the World Wide Web, advancing beyond the closed circles of stagnant, Ayn-Rand disciples. www.neo-tech.com /prosperity_xz/intro2.html   (2361 words)

Objectivist philosophy Objectivist philosophy Objectivism holds that an official institutional government, though a minimal one, is necessary in order to provide and safeguard such a society; such a government, on Rand's view, must have a territorial monopoly on the use of (retaliatory) force. Objectivism regards the first as "intrinsicism" (the view that universals are "intrinsic" to reality) and the second as "subjectivism" (the view that universals are arbitrary creations of the human mind). Objectivism defines an "ethic" as a code of values to guide the choices and actions of human beings, where a "value" is anything which a living organism acts to gain and/or keep. dks.thing.net /Objectivist_philosophy.html   (11401 words)

humanities.philosophy.objectivism Objectivism is a philosophy; philosophy is a part of the studies commonly called the humanities.

Objective thinking - introduction The expression "objective thinking" (or alternatively, neo-objectivism) designates a mode of reasoning which is based on and modeled by the notions of objective reality (reality is exterior to our minds) and reason (knowledge must be based on objective evidence - on methods which seek outward, not inward). Objective thinking holds that if the theory is true, pragmatic value will necessarily follow. Cults and doctrines, despite their constant claims to the contrary, are not objective. www.objectivethought.com /objectivethinking.html   (396 words)

Neo-Tech Discovery Objectivism restores to rational order the jumbled structure of myths promoted over the centuries by master neocheaters, and replaces the myths with sound concepts that capture the essential nature of man and the universe. A is A. To see the Objectivism Philosophy in the form of a philosophical pyramid, building in primacy from the foundation up, click here. Given the integation of this proposed state of affairs--the conscious control of existence using the laws of nature--with Objectivism, a new philosophical paradigm unfolds. attitudeadjustment.tripod.com /Books/Neo-Tech.htm   (1328 words)

RECENT PHILOSOPHY: Objectivism & Classical Realism While denying that Objectivism is a metaphysical materialism, the metaphysical tenets of Objectivism satisfy all the requirements necessary for metaphysical materialism as normally defined. An evaluation of Objectivism is problematic to the Classical Realist, partly because much of it appears to fall within the tradition of Aristotelian realism even though many of its major tenets are in opposition to traditional realism. There is, in the end, little that is new in Objectivism, regardless of the claims of Rand and her followers. radicalacademy.com /adiphicontempmove.htm   (1332 words)

Foreign Dispatches: Libertarian Alliance - Atlas Winced Objectivism is a steaming pile of extremely contradictory claptrap cooked up by a writer of political potboilers tinged with sadomasochist fantasizing. She now states that although Objectivism has some of the features of a cult, it cannot be a cult because of its commitment to reason and individualism (352). ('Religion' is 'a system of faith and worship'.) Branden has often described Objectivism as a cult, but in this book she withdraws this label. reti.blogspot.com /2004/04/libertarian-alliance-atlas-winced.html   (1097 words)

Sociology and Scientism: William F. Ogburn Objectivism was also a chapter in the transformation of American Protestantism, although in ways different than in most account of the clerical connections of many early American sociologists. Objectivism, thirdly, was a by-product of the professionalization of scholarship, although not the only or the inevitable one. Yet in more important respects, objectivism owed a great deal to religion, and more specifically, to the Calvinist strain within American Protestantism. www.swarthmore.edu /SocSci/rbannis1/Sociology/Ogburn/ogburn.ASS.html   (5524 words)

Intro To Monart Pon & Concerto Of Deliverance - Objectivism Online Forum It looks like it's a combination of new age, Objectivism, and Neo-Tech or Scientology. A "neo-objectivist," as you use the term, is one like yourself who wants to have his Objectivism, and eat it too. I've been studying, using, and benefiting from Rand's work on objectivism since 1971, when her Fountainhead motivated me to switch from astrophysics to philosophy and earn a BA in philosophy and a MA in objectivist astronautics. forum.objectivismonline.net /index.php?showtopic=1291&st=0   (2753 words)

Objectivism Links - DiscussAnything.com - Scott Ryan v Objectivism — Libertarian criticisms of O’ism, from the profound to the nitpicky to the bizarre. The Ayn Rand Institute — The keeper of the flame of “orthodox” Objectivism. Lawrence appears to be an “orthodox” Objectivist, he (atypically for the group) does not shun criticisms of Objectivism or views of Objectivism that differ from the ARI party line. www.discussanything.com /forums/showthread.php?t=71132   (705 words)

Liberating Objectivism Objectivism, by contrast, is valid with no harmful aspects to attack. Forward-moving applications of Objectivism into new areas by "outsiders" has always been resisted by a clique of self-appointed leaders and authorities. Likewise, many other honest businesspeople who have successfully delivered Objectivism to the public were ignorant of or even hostile to fundamental ideas of Objectivism. www.neo-tech.com /objectivism   (3171 words)

Natural Law [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] Though moral objectivism is sometimes equated with moral realism (see, e.g., Moore 1992, 190: "the truth of any moral proposition lies in its correspondence with a mind- and convention-independent moral reality"), the relationship between the two theories is controversial. First, moral propositions have what is sometimes called objective standing in the sense that such propositions are the bearers of objective truth-value; that is, moral propositions can be objectively true or false. The principal objective of conceptual (or analytic) jurisprudence has traditionally been to provide an account of what distinguishes law as a system of norms from other systems of norms, such as ethical norms. www.utm.edu /research/iep/n/natlaw.htm   (5617 words)

Las Vegas Conference on Values of Capitalism Objectivism, he argued, has a vital contribution to make in the ideological arena: defending the moral propriety of rational self-interest. Her topic was "Entrepreneurial Living: What It Takes," and she drew on her own life experience in an engaging journey from learning the theory of Objectivism to throwing her heart into making a life worthy of an Objectivist hero. His cultural diagnosis was moral: it was not greed but a failure to hold to standards of objectivity and independence that had corrupted so many companies and led the marketplace astray. www.objectivistcenter.org /articles/las-vegas-conference-report.asp   (754 words)

Chapter 2 Objectivism is the only 100% valid philosophy.  Everything in Neotech holds that as its context.  If you read something as being in violation of that context (and therefore, being contradictory) you need to check your premises. If I make a Neotech claim that you find to be inconsistent with Objectivism (which we both, for the sake of argument, hold to be valid), then challenge me on it.  If I cannot demonstrate that it is consistent, then you can reject my claim. Objectivism is not mystical.  That is why it is 100% valid and completely consistent.  Rand herself had a tendency to rationalize.  But whether or not she had personal mysticisms does not invalidate any of her work in the slightest, except as she let it seep therein. www.neo-tech.com /neotech/flame/flame02.html   (11895 words)

What is Objectivism? Objectivism is based on the premise that existence exists and is common to all conscious individuals independtly of what anyone think it is. As such it rejects such notions as Subjectivism (that reality is subjective to any individual), and mysticism (that thoughts can alter reality). Objectivism does not oppose individuals voluntarily contributing time, effort, or other resources to further the well-being of others. One of the central themes of the Objectivism is that the conscious individual is an end to himself, and should strive to fullfill his own happiness and well-being. www.shlomifish.org /philosophy/obj-oss/obj-oss/c24.html   (314 words)

Objectivism: Who Needs It---- A Warning to Young Readers Objectivism supposedly leads one's mind to perfect "integration." But this integration is in fact narrow, totalistic thinking that supposedly solves all life's mysteries. But here's my message to the young to consider upon discovering Objectivism: If you have a strong emotional reaction to Objectivism, it is likely a sign that you need more time to gain a clearer vision of who you are and where you fit into the world. Listen: Almost every line of Objectivism is debatable, which is one of several reasons educated adults tend not to be interested when discovering Rand for the first time. www.geocities.com /tomdevine/aynrand.html   (944 words)

The Radical Academy Glossary of Philosophical Terms Objective potency, or the capacity or aptitude of a being for existence. A type of abstraction or precision in which the ideas drawn out by the abstractive process are objectively different, i.e., these ideas have a different comprehension or thought-content, so that the one does not necessarily include the other. A form of naturalism which denies the legitimacy of philosophical problems and methods and claims that science is the only knowledge which is exact and ultimate. radicalacademy.com /aipphilglossary3.htm   (1164 words)

enlightenment: Rethinking the Essence of Objectivism And the "arguments from the Enlightenment" are answered because the system of Objectivism is presented a subservient to the method of objectivity. Objective systems are the end of the significance of systems as such in their domain of knowledge. After objective methods are accepted as the criterion in a domain, the comparison of systems of ideas then becomes relevant only for the previous non objective systems, and this becomes a task for historians. enlightenment.supersaturated.com /essays/text/davesaum/essence.html   (3712 words)

Questions & Answers It builds upon Atheism, Objectivism, Libertarianism, and Neo-Tech so everyone—including people unfamiliar with these idea systems—can apply them and benefit tremendously.

Pharyngula Objectivism does have some significant differences from libertarianism - even wacko fringe-y libertarianism. A central idea in objectivism is that any kind of charity is immoral. In my experience, some anarchists are fine with certain kinds of oppression that involve waiting until someone else gives up and does their dirty dishes. tangledbank.net /index/weblog/print/2726   (4997 words)

Objectivism - Common Misconceptions page 1 In politics, Objectivism upholds libertarianism (government dedicated to natural rights) instead of anarchism (extreme of individual action) or statism (extreme of governmental action). In epistemology, Objectivism upholds reason, not faith (extreme of certainty) or epistemic skepticism (extreme of doubt). Extremism is not evil in itself : it is only because Objectivism is not extremist that extremism is evil. www.whatisobjectivism.com /misconceptions   (509 words)

Amazon.com: Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand (The Ayn Rand Library, Volume 6): Books: Leonard Peikoff Objectivism was constructed outside the academy and its elaboration was not reported in the accepted academic journals. But in Objectivism, at least as I understand it, the reason that one does not engage in aggressive conduct towards another is that it acts to the detriment of oneself. Even if Objectivism does not gain respect in such circles, it still could serve as an alternative to the accepted ideas and concepts that are entrenched in the academic journals. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0452011019?v=glance   (3194 words)

The Solving FAQ We will make Objectivism and Neo-Tech a pre-requisite knowledge among everybody, as everyone will need to understand them in order to understand what's going on in the world. At the moment, Objectivism is mainly recognized in the U.S., or among the intelligentia of other countries. The Neo-Tech Orientation and Definitions - a group of definitions proposed by Neo-Tech that explains the foundations of objective morality, and explain why evil is so common and so successful in the world. www.shlomifish.org /philosophy/solving/faq.html   (2763 words)

Mark R. Sunwall, Maimonides & Rand Thus Rand's philosophy, although "objective" in the sense of recognizing the primacy of a reality-principle, is anthrocentric rather than cosmocentric. After all, Rand, Thomas, and Ibn Rushd all agree that there is some objective law in the universe which human beings must uphold, their disagreement is over the source and nature of this law. Although both consider rational thought to be the highest state that an individual can attain, for Rand this thinking is an attribute of an individual while for Averroism it is an attribute of the universal Mind in which human individuals, during the term of their corporal existence, are capable of participating. www.friesian.com /sunwall.htm   (14679 words)

Rand-Related Oddities The philosophy of Ayn Rand, a twentieth-century novelist and philosopher, is known as Objectivism. The Objectivism Reference Center provides resources about Rand, her ideas, her works, and places where those are discussed and debated. Some have attempted to reconcile Objectivism, which is atheistic, to various types of religious beliefs. www.noblesoul.com /orc/misc/odd.html   (478 words)

Critiques Of Libertarianism: Criticisms of Objectivism (or Ayn Rand). Objectivism and the Corruption of Rationality: A Critique of Ayn Rand's Epistemology Barry Stoller presents a plain-speaking analysis of Objectivism as a supremacy doctrine for people too busy, lazy, or stupid to actually be intellectuals.

Diary for shlomif Neo-Tech is in fact, an extension of Objectivism that also integrates such fields as Psychology or Business Management into one great integrated whole. Perhaps, its main step forward from traditional Objectivism is the fact that it recognizes that achieving bilogical immortality by technological means is a desirable goal. The bicycle turned out to be fine after all (after we filled a lot of air in the back wheel), so I went out biking the past few days. www.advogato.org /person/shlomif/diary.html?start=174   (4122 words)
