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"). The minor contradiction is found in these two quotes from Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand; "Consciousness is not inherent in the fact of existence as such; a world without conscious organisms is possible," (p. usabig.com /autonomist/articles/syncretism.html   (2170 words)

Binswanger first refutes Hume’s argument for the fact-value dichotomy, and then offers a step-by-step account of Ayn Rand’s derivation of a moral code based on one’s own life as an ultimate value. On July 2, 1979, Ayn Rand was interviewed by Tom Snyder, proving to be an articulate and entertaining guest. objectivist.union.rpi.edu /lib.htm   (1473 words)

PROBLEMS OF OBJECTIVISM - An Introduction This was Ayn Rand's implicit philosophy, what she called her, "sense of life," but at the time she was beginning to write, there was no corresponding explicit philosophy that defined the objective principles of these ideals. Ayn Rand's philosophy identifies metaphysics and epistemology as essential divisions in philosophy, which in her limited philosophy was correct. This includes the majority of those who consider themselves objectivists, and certainly most of those who claim to, "love Ayn Rand," meaning her novels. www.freerepublic.com /focus/news/770238/posts   (6816 words)

Brook, Objectivist club rankle Auraria - News Brook — a former member of Israeli military intelligence, a former professor at the University of California at Berkeley, and a current member of the Ayn Rand Institute — presented the Aurarian community with a talk entitled "A Moral Case for Supporting Israel." Brook, as a member of the Ayn Rand Institute sponsored here on campus by the Auraria Objectivist Student Organization, firmly believes in and preaches Rand's controversial objectivist philosophy. Brook concluded his lecture by claiming Israel should be defended at any cost because it is the only country in the region that gives its citizens freedom of speech, the right to vote, and freedom of assembly. www.ucdadvocate.com /media/paper538/news/2002/04/10/News/Brook.Objectivist.Club.Rankle.Auraria-233613.shtml   (629 words)

Early Objectivism Newsgroup Efforts The philosophy of Ayn Rand, a twentieth-century novelist and philosopher, is known as Objectivism.

Diana Mertz Hsieh: Clarifications I do want to say that I was rather offended at the tone of the post, as well as claims like the following: > I'd like to get to a discussion of the many faults in Ayn Rand's > presentations of an Objectivist Ethics. Asking people on the list to grant the premise that there are many faults in Rand's presentation of Objectivism is fallacious, as well as disrespectful (to the people on the list who don't grant this premise). If you don't, then I still think that there is a whole lot to talk about. www.dianahsieh.com /internet/1995.03.31.html   (1107 words)

Tsui Design & Research Inc. In The Media The fictional hero, Howard Roarke, was author and philosopher Ayn Rand’s great hero and architect, the “ideal man” as she saw it—a hero to the 40 million or more Americans who bought and read the book since it’s publication in 1943. I must say, so many people talk a good talk but they don’t walk the walk. The arrogance of Man against Man, belief against belief and Man against nature is a tragic story, which continues to this day. www.tdrinc.com /media.html   (7924 words)

Patch Needed for "The Objectivist Ethics" So let Ayn Rand stop being our moral *physicist* and become our moral *physician*. The patch in the Objectivist ethics is quite implicit in the rest of the essay, which mingles more stuff about the requirements of survival with talk about virtue and happiness. This move requires a patch to cover the hole in her argument, and that patch I denominate the Objectivist psychology, which is at bottom a theory of virtue. www.panix.com /~checker/patch.htm   (248 words)

Julia Gorin However, the emergence of a new publishing house on the literary scene may mean that the world of politically incorrect/conservative-friendly literary fiction will soon extend beyond the names Ayn Rand and Tom Wolfe. Emperor's New Clothes Press (www.encpress.com/catalogue.html), an Internet-based publishing company founded last year by publishing veteran Olga Gardner Galvin, plans to do for book publishing what conservative talk shows did for radio, what the Washington Times did for newspapers and what Regnery did for non-fiction publishing. ENC Press is also especially willing to work with unknown authors, who often don't get attention from what Galvin describes as bottom-line-oriented publishing houses, which are interested only in blockbusters. www.jewishworldreview.com /julia/gorin043004.asp   (722 words)

Ayn Rand quote. Any reactions. - Stormfront White Nationalist Community They are pompous jack asses who are so insecure about themselves that they have to talk themselves up and constantly ask for other people's approval of their actions. If 'egotism' were expanded to promote the interests of one's progeny, kin, and tribe, then she'd be right. If you exchanged self confidence for egotism in your quote I think it would be a very good statement. www.stormfront.org /forum/showthread.php?p=1658582   (1350 words)

The first from Howard Singer of Reston, VA, was negative, saying that volunteerism is beneficial and the Institute staff has "too much time on its hands." The second was positive from Maryland resident Jack Crawford. www.aynrand.org /site/News2?page=NewsArticle&id=6145   (1641 words)

Pax Neo-Tech Ayn Rand offered a way to escape irrationality in the twentieth century as projected in her fiction-and-nonfiction works. Moreover, today, Neo-Tech advantages continue moving not only into talk radio but also into video games, entertainment, rock, rap, and comic books such as the Neo-Tech Anarky Batman series. Profitable Neo-Tech advantages are executed explicitly in the red-pill-of-honesty movie The Matrix and implicitly in certain super-hero movies, even in ironic TV cartoons such as The Simpsons and South Park. www.neo-tech.com /pax-b1/c3.php   (7330 words)
