1. Ayn Rand, Anti-Communism, & The Left Biography and a critical analysis of her philosophy. http://www.friesian.com/rand.htm

Man is not the best of things in the universe. Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics , Book VI, Chapter vii; 3-4 (H. Rackham, Loeb Classical Library, 1926, 1982, p. 342) Ayn Rand (1905-1982) Ayn Rand (born Alice Rosenbaum) is a fascinating person and an inspiring advocate of freedom but a very mixed blessing philosophically. Her novels The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged are still best selling introductions to the ideas of personal freedom and of the free market. As literature they may have drawbacks, but they are compelling "reads," which is certainly what Rand would have wanted. Rand's passionate and moralistic tone, while off-putting to many, is nevertheless probably a real part of her appeal and is no less than an equal and opposite reaction to the self-righteousness that is still characteristic of leftist rhetoric. Few writers convey an irresistible ferocity of convictions as Rand does. To many, including the present writer, raised and indoctrinated with the standard disparagements of capitalism, a novel like Atlas Shrugged can produce something very much like a Conversion Experience. At the same time, the harsh certainty of an autodidact and self-made person, and the high handed authoritarian manner of Rand's personality, worked against her case, her cause, and her life.

Ayn Rand By Catherine Daligga The eldest of three sisters, Ayn Rand was born Alissa Rosenbaum on February 2, 1905, in St. Petersburg, Russia, to Fronz and Anna Rosenbaum. Her father, a pharmacist, had his own shop, a rare position for Jews in Russia. A precocious child, Alyssa declared herself an atheist in her early teens, and while she never denied her Jewish heritage, she also never softened her opposition to religion or any other form of "mysticism." The privations she and her family endured as a result of the Russian Revolution, Including the Bolsheviks taking possession of her father's business, affected her deeply. Somehow she managed to survive the purges of bourgeois students long enough to obtain a degree in history from the University of Leningrad in 1924. At the university, she took a few classes in American political history and found the principles expressed in the Declaration of Independence fascinating. Despite the progressively isolationist policy of the Soviets, some Western exports still found their way to Russia in the 1920s. For Alyssa, the most important were American movies. Conditions in the United States-at least as depicted on the screen-impressed her as strongly as conditions at home repelled her, so when distant cousins provided the miraculous opportunity to travel to the United States, she did not hesitate. She turned twenty-one in Berlin, on her way to America. At immigration, she announced that her first name was Ayn (pronounced to rhyme with "pine"). Shortly after, she chose the second part of her beloved typewriter's brand name for her surname.

The author of Atlas Shrugged The Fountainhead and numerous non-fiction works was influential in the libertarian movement, even though she personally disapproved of it. Her philosophy of objectivism argued for the supremacy of reason, the individual and capitalism. She will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by her legions of fans. In today's troubled times, her works and her wisdom are more needed than ever. The philosophic seeds she spread have taken root and perhaps this generation will see the philosophic revolution she inspired but which failed to materialize in her lifetime.

Ayn Rand (1905-1982) Table of Contents (Clicking on the links below will take you to that part of this article) Life Rand’s Ethical Theory: The Virtue of Selfishness Reason and Ethics Conflicts of Interest ... Bibliography Life Ayn Rand's life was often as colorful as those of her heroes in her best-selling novels The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged . Rand first made her name as a novelist, publishing We the Living in 1936, The Fountainhead in 1943, and her magnum opus Atlas Shrugged in 1957. These philosophical novels embodied themes she then developed in non-fiction form in a series of essays and books written in the 1960s and 1970s. Born in St. Petersburg, Russia, on February 2, 1905, Rand was raised in a middle-class family. As a child, she loved story-telling, and she decided at age nine to become a writer. In school showed academic promise, particularly in mathematics. Her family was devastated by the communist revolution of 1917, both by the social upheavals that the revolution and the ensuing civil war brought and by her father's pharmacy's being confiscated by the Soviets. The family moved to the Crimea to recover financially and to escape the harshness of life the revolution brought to St. Petersburg. They later returned to Petrograd (the new name given to St. Petersburg by the Soviets), where Rand was to attend university. At the University of Petrograd, Rand concentrated her studies on history, with secondary focuses on philosophy and literature. At university, she was repelled by the dominance of communist ideas and strong-arm tactics that suppressed free inquiry and discussion. As a youth, she had been repelled by the communists' political program, and now an adult, she was also more fully aware of the destructive effects that the revolution had had on Russian society more broadly.

AYN RAND (1905-1982) Face à l’altruisme sacrificiel et au tribalisme, Ayn Rand défend la vertu d’égoïsme , fondée sur La raison et la conscience. Pour elle, la vie de l’homme Est le fondement de toute valeur, et sa propre vie Est le but éthique de tout individu. Ayn Rand née en Russie et exilée aux Etats-Unis en 1926, a d’abord été scénariste à Holliwood, puis romancière, ( La Source vive, Atlas Shrugged , vendu à 9 millions d’exemplaires) et essayiste. Sa philosophie, l’objectivisme , d’inspiration aristotélicienne, a totalement renouvelé la pensée libérale contemporaine. EXTRAIT L’homme doit choisir ses actions, ses valeurs et ses buts en fonction de la norme de ce qui convient à l’homme, de façon à accomplir, conserver, réaliser cette valeur ultime, et cette fin en soi qu’est sa propre vie, et en jouir. Une valeur est ce pourquoi l’on entreprend une action pour acquérir et (ou) conserver quelque chose. Une vertu est l’action par laquelle on l’acquiert et (ou) la conserve. Les trois valeurs cardinales de l’éthique objectiviste sont la raison, l’intentionnalité et l’estime de soi

What Art Is : The Esthetic Theory of Ayn Rand by Louise Torres Michelle Marder Kamhi Cultural icon Ayn Rand (1905-1982) was known as much for her philosophy as for her fiction. Her original theory of esthetics, which attacks many "masterpieces" of modernist art, is as combative and controversial as any of her work, but until now has received little serious scrutiny. In What Art Is , the authors demonstrate that Rand's ideas are supported by evidence from other academic fields. What is art? The arts establishment has a simple answer: anything is art if a reputed artist or expert says it is. Though many people are skeptical about the alleged new art forms that have proliferated since the early twentieth century, today's critics claim that all such work, however incomprehensible, is art. A groundbreaking alternative to this view is provided by philosopher-novelist Ayn Rand (1905 1982). Best known as the author of
