	Ayn Rand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rand was twelve at the time of the Russian Revolution of 1917, and her family life was disrupted by the rise of the Bolshevik party.
		Rand stated her new name was derived from the Cyrillic spelling of her family's name, and the Ayn Rand Institute noted a similarity between the name Rand and the spelling of "Rosenbaum" in Cyrillic on her college diploma.
		Rand's defenders argue that her opposition to government intervention to end private discrimination was motivated by her valuing property rights above civil or "human rights" (due to a rejection of the validity of the distinction) and therefore her view did not constitute an endorsement of the morality of the prejudice per se.

	Bibliography of work on Objectivism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ayn Rand and Objectivism are the subject of a large literature, both in favor of Objectivist ideals, and critical.
		Since Rand regarded herself as an opponent of feminism and indeed regarded "man-worship" ("man" decidedly meaning "male") as the very essence of femininity, it might be expected that feminists would regard Rand as an enemy.
		Ryan argues that Rand relied implicitly on a foundation of rationalistic objective idealism to create an explicit philosophy at odds with such idealism, and that in doing so she was primarily motivated by a desire to cleanse philosophy of anything smacking of religion/theism.

	Aethlos -- Ayn Rand Page -- Spencer Lord's Weltanschauung
		Rand’s concept of man as a heroic being–her vision of human beings as able to achieve great things, and of the universe as open to their efforts–is a hallmark of her thought, and certainly a significant part of her widespread appeal.
		Rand’s ethics is founded on an argument that the concept “value” depends on the concept “life” and so is only meaningful in the context of an organism pursuing its life as its ultimate value.
		Rand thus conceives of objectivity as the relationship between a volitional consciousness and mind-independent reality when that consciousness adheres to the methods required by its nature and the nature of its objects if it is to know, and live in, reality.

	Ayn Rand Centenary: Ayn Rand's Life and Works
		Ayn Rand understood that to defend the individual she must penetrate to the root: his need to use reason to survive.
		Ayn Rand left a legacy in defense of reason and freedom that serves as a guidepost for the American spirit—especially pertinent today when America and what it stands for are under assault.
		Thereafter, Ayn Rand wrote and lectured on her philosophy—Objectivism, which she characterized as "a philosophy for living on earth." She published and edited her own periodicals from 1962 to 1976, her essays providing much of the material for six books on Objectivism and its application to the culture.

	Endorsements: AYN RAND: THE RUSSIAN RADICAL
		Sciabarra's book presents the thesis (controversial in some circles) that it is extremely important to examine Rand's development in terms of the influences and controversies that surrounded her in Russia and which were transmitted to her by her university teachers.
		He demonstrates, as no writer has done before, that essential to the structure and content of Rand's philosophy -- as it was essential to the Russian philosophers with whom she studied as a girl in Russia -- was the attempt to overcome philosophical dualism in all its forms and manifestations.
		Rand, as this book demonstrates, spoke to ancient and modern philosophical concerns and did so in a unique fashion, deploying her ideas in literary as well as systematic form in a way reminiscent of existentialists like Sartre and Camus.

		It is delightful to witness Rand's progress, both as writer and philosopher, in these works written between 1926 and 1938.
		Unless Leonard Peikoff specifically agreed to Ayn Rand not to publish these pieces, or, if in designating him as executor of her intellectual property, she put restrictions on his use of this work, I see nothing morally wrong with his publishing them, even if he knew it was not her wish.
		I read The Early Ayn Rand and recommended it to my brother and his immediate reply was, "Aren't these the ones that she did not want published?" So, the question is a known problem.

	Ayn Rand/Objectivism Links
		Rand was twenty-five years older than Branden, but there was an attraction between them from the first, and it eventually blossomed into an affair.
		Rather than keep the affair a secret, Ayn and Nathaniel actually convinced their respective spouses to grant permission for their biweekly trysts, on the grounds that their passion for one another was perfectly rational and thus ought to be indulged.
		Rand would have vehemently denied such a link....I grew certain, however, that at some point in her intellectual development, Rand had absorbed, perhaps unwittingly, crucial dialectical methods of analysis....Rand was born during a revolutionary period in Russian history.

		Rand hated life in Russia; she felt the dominant culture of Russia to glorify the tragic and the malevolent, the antithesis of what she wanted for her own life.
		Not only did she witness the nationalization of her father's chemistry shop---a shop that represented the culmination of his self-made rise from poverty---but the morality of collectivism was abhorrent to Rand even as a young girl.
		The years between 1926 and 1943 were financially difficult for Rand and her husband Frank O'Connor, whom she married in 1929.

	The Early Ayn Rand: A Selection from Her Unpublished Fiction Book at Shop Ireland
		The beginnings of evil, in this case, are some really terrible fiction (even worse than Ayn Rand's later stuff) and some outtakes from THE FOUNTAINHEAD that Rand never intended to publish.
		Since she later filed the serial numbers off of her Nietzschean influences, the passages presented here are of some historical interest.
		The craziest thing about this though is the fact that Ayn Rand has been raised to a saint-like status by her followers.
