Objectivism and Ayn Rand - Objectivism Articles Alan Greenspan was for several years a close associate of Ayn Rand--one of the most brilliant and assertive intellects of this century. And those views stem from his tryst with Austrian economics about forty years ago when he was an independent economic consultant and member of Ayn Rand’s \"inner collective\" of Objectivist intellectuals. Some support for this position is found in notes I took while an undergraduate economics major in the early 1960s from tapes of Greenspan’s course on \"The Economics of the Free Society,\" offered through the Nathaniel Branden Institute—an Objectivist lecture bureau. www.theobjectivist.com /board/1.html   (505 words)

[Am-info] Ayn Rand Institute? She coined the "philosophy" known as "objectivism," which was intended to be a rationalization of human ego but in reality is a prescription for extending what amounts to a teenaged view of life to and through adulthood -- minus the humiliating acne, of course. Rand's most famous comic novels included "Atlas Shrugged" (1957) and "The Fountainhead" (1946?). For people who subscribe to the Randian view of the world, Bill Gates would be a pure godhead figure, a brilliant, creative and successful individual put upon by evil, envious, collectivists (like us) who only want to ruin our betters. lists.essential.org /pipermail/am-info/Week-of-Mon-20020318/009275.html   (257 words)

Ayn Rand and Objectivism Ayn Rand's use of the term "Objectivism" refers to her ultimate philosophical ground: the metaphysical principle that "existence exists," i.e. Ayn Rand was a mythopoeic author, whose world-view seizes upon the mind, demanding to be accepted or rejected as a whole; and she could not tolerate ambivalence. Consonant with Rand's contempt for tradition as such, is her rejection of ethnicity as a principle of social cohesion. home.earthlink.net /~karljahn/aynrand.htm   (971 words)

Ayn Rand's HUAC Testimony The philosophy of Ayn Rand, a twentieth-century novelist and philosopher, is known as Objectivism. Ayn Rand was one of the "friendly" witnesses who cooperated with the committee during the 1947 hearings. Rand's testimony, like that of the other friendly witnesses, was given just before the debacle of the "Hollywood Ten." She did not testify during either the earlier (1940) or later (1950s) investigations that HUAC conducted about Hollywood. www.noblesoul.com /orc/texts/huac.html   (971 words)

The Unlikeliest Cult in History The cultic flaw in Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism is not in the use of reason, or in the emphasis on individuality, or in the belief that humans are self motivated, or in the conviction that capitalism is the ideal system. Ayn Rand, by virtue of her philosophical genius, is the supreme arbiter in any issue pertaining to what is rational, moral, or appropriate to man's life on earth. Since Ayn Rand has designated Nathaniel Branden as her "intellectual heir," and has repeatedly proclaimed him to be an ideal exponent of her philosophy, he is to be accorded only marginally less reverence than Ayn Rand herself. www.skeptic.com /02.2.shermer-unlikely-cult.html   (971 words)

Objectivism Syncretism We regard Objectivism is the highest achievement in and greatest contribution to philosophy since Locke, and Ayn Rand the most recent name in that series of true contributors to the field of philosophy beginning with Thales, Anaximander and Anaximenes, to Aristotle, Peter Abelard, William of Occam, Francis Bacon, and John Locke. Ayn Rand acknowledged Aristotle as the only one she was philosophically indebted to, nevertheless, Objectivism is conceptually, the next step in philosophy after Locke (and it seems hardly possible that Rand did not see the relationship between her ethics of egoism and Locke's concept of "rational self-interest"). We might designate the stage of philosophy achieved by Ayn Rand as Randian philosophy, but it is as much a mistake to call that stage Randianism or Objectivism as it would be to call the stage of physics achieved by Newton, Newtonianism. usabig.com /autonomist/articles/syncretism.html   (2170 words)
