LINKS Ayn Rand (1905-1982) - original name Alice (in some sources Alissa) Rosenbaum Russian-born American writer, whose works combined science fiction with philosophy of laissez-faire capitalism, social Darwinism, and Nietzschean individualism familiar from the books of Mickey Spillane. Rand became a highly visible advocate for the inviolate supremacy of individual rights with her novels THE FOUNTAINHEAD (1943) and ATLAS SHRUGGED (1957). "The genius must have his freedom and his independence," she once wrote. Rand rejected Communism and fascism and fiercy defended a system in which economics have to fit man, not the other way round. "Great men can't be ruled." (from the Fountainhead Ayn Rand was born in St. Petersburg as the daughter of Fronz Rosenbaum, a chemist, and his wife Anna. She witnessed the Russian Revolution and the social upheaval, during which his father found work only in a Soviet store. At the age of 21 Rand graduated from the University of Petrograd in history with highest honors. After the family's shop was confiscated, they went to Odessa. In 1926 Rand moved to the United States, and took her surname from the typewriter she used, a Remington-Rand. Rand started to study English, working as a junior screenwriter and movie extra for Hollywood between the years 1926 and 1932. Starting as a filing clerk, she became an office head in wardrobe department. Rand wrote screenplays for Universal Pictures, Paramount Pictures, and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. In 1934-35 in New York she was a free-lance script reader for RKO Pictures, then for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. In Hollywood she also met Frank O'Connor, an actor, whom she married. Rand's first novel, WE THE LIVING appeared in 1936, but her breakthrough work was courtroom play NIGHT OF THE JANUARY 16th (1934), where the audience was asked to determine the verdict.

    Extractions: Atlas Shrugged Objectivism is the philosophy of rational individualism founded by Ayn Rand (1905-1982). In novels such as The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged , Rand dramatized her ideal man, the producer who lives by his own effort and does not give or receive the undeserved, who honors achievement and rejects envy. Rand laid out the details of her world-view in nonfiction books such as The Virtue of Selfishness and Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal Objectivism holds that there is no greater moral goal than achieving happiness. But one cannot achieve happiness by wish or whim. Fundamentally, it requires rational respect for the facts of reality, including the facts about our human nature and needs. Happiness requires that one live by objective principles, including moral integrity and respect for the rights of others. Politically, Objectivists advocate laissez-faire capitalism. Under capitalism, a strictly limited government protects each person's rights to life, liberty, and property and forbids that anyone initiate force against anyone else. The heroes of Objectivism are achievers who build businesses, invent technologies, and create art and ideas, depending on their own talents and on trade with other independent people to reach their goals.

He said he would stop the motor of the world... and he did. But who is John Galt? A destroyer or a liberator? Why does he fight his battle, not against his enemies, but against those who need him most? Why does he fight his hardest battle against the woman he loves? One of the most acclaimed and influential works of the 20th century, Atlas Shrugged portrays the murderand rebirthof the human spirit. Tremendous in scope, breathtaking in suspense, profound in meaning, it also illuminates Ayn Rand's unique philosophy, Objectivism, which has gained a worldwide audience.

    Extractions: Ayn Rand - Libertarian Find out YOUR R ussian-born Ayn Rand (1905-1982) brought more people into the libertarian movement than anybody else. She did this by making a moral case for individualism and liberty through her dramatic novels. Her first was We The Living (1936), chronicling love and the struggle for liberty amidst Soviet oppression. Then came her first big success, The Fountainhead (1943), about a determined individualist pursuing his vision in a collectivist world. The Fountainhead became a bestseller and was made into a movie starring Gary Cooper, Patricia Neal and Raymond Massey. Anthem (1946) is a bold affirmation of individualism. A short novel, it affords an easy introduction to Rand's ideas. The book goes far beyond more famous anti-authoritarian novels such as Aldous Huxley's Brave New World (1932), Arthur Koestler's Darkness at Noon (1941) or George Orwell's Animal Farm (1945) or (1949).

    Extractions: My philosophy, in essence, is the concept of man as a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement his noblest activity, and reason as his only absolute. The moral cannibalism of all hedonist and altruist doctrines lies in the premise that the happiness of one man necessitates the injury of another. The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities. Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities (and the smallest minority on earth is the individual). There are only two means by which men can deal with one another: guns or logic. Force or persuasion. Those who know that they cannot win by means of logic, have always resorted to guns. A rational mind does not work under compulsion...a gun is not an argument. Force and mind are opposites; morality ends where a gun begins.

Snider © 2000 “Thousands of years ago, the first man discovered how to make fire. He was probably burned at the stake he had taught his brothers to light. He was considered an evildoer who had dealt with a demon mankind dreaded. But thereafter men had fire to keep them warm, to cook their food, to light their caves. He had left them a gift they had not conceived and he had lifted darkness off the earth. Centuries later, the first man invented the wheel. He was probably torn on the rack he had taught his brothers to build. He was considered a transgressor who ventured into forbidden territory. But thereafter, men could travel past any horizon. He had left them a gift they had not conceived and he had opened the roads of the world.” In the final pages of Ayn Rand’s first major novel The Fountainhead , embattled architect Howard Roark closes his own trial defense with the above pronouncement.

Her first novel, We the Living (1936), took a close look at Russian communism. "It is as near to an autobiography as I will ever write," she explained. Rand is best known for The Fountainhead (1943), with memorable character Howard Roark, loosely based on Frank Lloyd Wright , and Atlas Shrugged (1957), her 1168-page masterpiece and last work of fiction, in which heroine Dagny Taggart forged Objectivism, a doctrine that championed self-interest and "rational selfishness." "There are two sides to every issue," Rand believed, "one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil." Controversial and panned by critics , she continued to write with passion that unbridled capitalism was the touchstone of success . "Pain is not a valid reason for stopping," she believed. Her heroic characters celebrated integrity, dedication, and

    Extractions: Essays Lately my thoughts have been evolving about the life and philosophy of Ayn Rand (1905-1982), the Russian-American novelist-philosopher whose influence is growing. For decades I have been defending her thought and importance as a philosopher, while simultaneously trying to understand what is wrong about the parts of her philosophy which seem mistaken. As a young Student of Objectivism (Rand's name for her loyal followers), I did not question the truth of her ideas until 1970, when she gave her infamous interview to Cosmopolitan magazine. In this interview she mentioned that she thought no woman should ever be president of the United States. She said she thought that the natural psychological reaction of (right-thinking) women is to worship men, and that the psychological burden of having to command and direct men would therefore be crushing for a woman president. Well, even in the sexist context of the time that seemed a deeply odd line of thought. The interview must have triggered some of my unconscious reservations about Rand. Over the next six or eight months I began to think more deeply about Rand's philosophy. Gradually I no longer felt comfortable thinking of myself as a Student of Objectivism. I wasn't convinced enough. I announced in May 1971 that I was no longer a believer in all of Rand's philosophy. (I believe I became a
