81. Objectivist Philosophy - Enpsychlopedia
    objectivism rejects philosophical skepticism. As a corollary, it also maintainsthat anything that is not learned by objective, rational means is not true  
    http://psychcentral.com/psypsych/Objectivist_philosophy
    
    Extractions: Objectivism is the philosophy of Soviet-born American philosopher and author Ayn Rand . In summary, Objectivism holds that there is an independent reality that human beings are conscious of through their senses, that reason is the only way of gathering knowledge and only the individual rational mind can process this data, that the proper moral purpose of one's life is to pursue one's own rational self-interest , and that the only moral social system is full laissez-faire capitalism with a government strictly limited to courts police , and a military , because it is the only system where humans are barred from initiating the use of physical force upon each other (either within or outside the structure of said government). Rand characterizes Objectivism as a philosophy "for living on earth," grounded in reality and aimed at facilitating knowledge of the natural world and harmonious, mutually beneficial interactions between human beings. One major theme of Objectivist philosophy is a focus on the potential of the individual human being. Rand wrote:

    http://www.jeffcomp.com/faq/closed.html
    
    Extractions: by Chris Wolf Some would say that we have no right to modify Rand's philosophy of Objectivism; that it is her discovered it. She gets full credit for discovering it, but she does not own it. Her discoveries were brilliant, and she was a bona-fide genius, but we are not obliged to continue her mistakes. The philosophy of Objectivism is defined and characterized by its fundamental principles, which do not include Ayn Rand's own applications of Objectivism. For example, Rand's concepts of evasion and evil are not even philosophical concepts; they are psychological concepts. Like Rand's views on a woman President, they are not part of the philosophy of Objectivism. It takes more than a claim or assertion to make a particular concept part of the structure of Objectivism. Just because Ayn Rand says it is, doesn't make it so. Reality takes precedence, even over Ayn Rand. We have no right to rewrite Atlas Shrugged , but we have every right to correct any mistakes in the philosophy of Objectivism, or to toss out those parts of the philosophy that prove to be false or unworkable. Of course if it becomes necessary to alter a fundamental principle of Objectivism, then the philosophy would no longer be Objectivism. It would be necessary to call the new philosophy something else, to distinguish it from Rand's original version. When Rand accepted Aristotle's metaphysics and logic, but corrected his epistemology and dropped his ethics, she gave the result a new name: Objectivism. It is quite possible that the same thing will happen to Objectivism. Its best ideas may well be incorporated into a new philosophy, just as Rand did with Aristotle.

    http://usabig.com/autonomist/philosophy_objectivism.html
    
    Extractions: Autonomist Philosophy Series Please see the Autonomist Philosophy Series Index Articles Philosophical Smoke and Mirrors [07/14/05] To most people, "rationalism," means, being rational, that is, using the faculty of reason to determine what is true or false, right or wrong, good or evil. It means, to most people, being objective as opposed to subjective. It is a surprise to most people when a particular view they hold or argument they make is dismissed as, "rationalism," The bewilderment is understandable; to most people the alternative to "rationalism" is "irrationalism." The reason for the confusion is because rationalism means two different things, one is good (and is the one everyone except some philosophers mean) and one is bad.

    http://usabig.com/autonomist/hijacking.html
    
    Extractions: NOTE: This is an entirely self-contained ebook. No special reader or software is required.] Many politically conservative homosexuals are attracted to Objectivism because of Objectivism's emphasis on individual liberty. There is a movement among many of these homosexuals and their sympathizers to take over Objectivism and change it from a philosophy to a, "movement," or "way of life;" to make it inclusive of ideas and practices inimical to Objectivism. The movement repudiates anyone calling themselves an Objectivist who does not support homosexual practices, as well as, embracing them as normal, moral, and benevolent, while claiming themselves and their movement to be the "true Objectivism." It is this movement this book analyzes and exposes. Primarily meant for those with an interest in Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism, the book deals broadly with the fundamental issues of normality, morality, and sexuality, and will be useful to anyone interested in the philosophical, social, or personal nature of these concepts. Anyone concerned with what is known as the "homosexual agenda," will find this book valuable.

    Extractions: See responses to this document. Axioms are the most obvious statements from which everything else follows. The Objectivist axioms are set up in such a way that they are irrefutable. Anyone trying to object to them must implicitly assume them even before he or she can formulate a counter-argument. Axiom of Identity: A is A Axiom of Subject: I am aware of something. Axiom of Object: I am aware of something. The first axiom is pretty much self explanatory. It will be discussed further in the section about Identity. It may appear at a first glance that the Axiom of Subject and the Axiom of Object are the same. However, they are really like two sides of the same coin. The Axiom of Subject puts emphasis on the word I , whereas the Axiom of Object stresses the word something . Their apparent similarity reminds me of the fact that I cannot be aware without being aware of something. Exercise:

    http://encyclopedia.laborlawtalk.com/Objectivist_philosophy
    
    Extractions: Objectivism is the name chosen by Ayn Rand for her philosophy . She characterizes it as a philosophy "for living on earth": grounded in reality, and aimed at facilitating knowledge of the natural world and harmonious, mutually beneficial interactions between human beings. Broadly speaking, Objectivism combines a realist empiricist secular naturalistic orientation in metaphysics and epistemology with an egoistic ethics of human flourishing and a social philosophy of capitalism and individual liberty One major theme of Objectivist philosophy is a focus on the potential of the individual human being. In Rand's own words: Another major theme, from which Objectivism derives its name, is the conception of knowledge and values as "objective," rather than as "intrinsic" or "subjective." According to Rand, neither concepts nor values are "intrinsic" to external reality, but neither are they merely "subjective" (by which Rand means "arbitrary" or "created by [one's] feelings, desires, 'intuitions,' or whims"). Rather, properly formed concepts and values are objective in the sense that they meet the specific ( cognitive and/or biocentric) needs of the individual human person. Valid concepts and values are, as she wrote, "determined by the nature of reality, but to be discovered by man's mind."

    Extractions: The relentless pursuit of happiness By Scott Clark There was a time when the greatest non-physical threats to the environment were the ignorance and apathy of the masses. However, while those hazards are still genuine and dangerous, a new menace has arisen, a way of thinking that has people believing that selfishness and irresponsibility lead to a more prosperous life. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Objectivism, the philosophy that just might destroy your world. Objectivism is the brainchild of author Ayn Rand, who founded the philosophy in the middle of the 20th century. Molding the philosophy around four principles - objective reality, reason, self-interest, and capitalism - Rand assembled a systematic view that would satisfy the needs of any self-serving follower. In its simplest form, Objectivism can be summarized as man's pursuit for personal gratification, and this gratification, whether wealth, romance, or status, supersedes all other elements of life.

    http://www.buzzle.com/editorials/4-18-2001-3032.asp
    
    Extractions: Buzzle Staff Editor, 4/18/2001 Essentially, Ayn Rand sought to take the most objective look at the nature of humankind possible. This led her to the belief that one should not try to create reality as one desires or believes it ought to be, but rather to observe it for what it is and to make adjustments based on these observations. Her belief was that reason was the cornerstone upon which a person’s acquisition of knowledge ought to be based. There is little room spiritual notions that might obscure this pursuit of knowledge, a point which drew a good deal of criticism. Rand advocated a system in which each person was their own master and had, in order to be a genuine and happy person, the responsibility to look out for their own interests first. This was, of course, to be done without infringing upon the rights of others to pursue that same end, but the point was clear: one’s own happiness was the highest and most noble good to which one could aspire. The main thrust of the critique of Rand’s work was that in advocating a purely secular basis for human existence, one could aspire only to as much as human-made societies and their institutions could make possible. In this way, the argument goes, by following Rand one could become too ensnared in a faith in these human constructs and could thus fall prey to the notion that somehow each individual was his or her own God. In any case, the arguments on both sides make for illuminating reading and reflection.

MP3 audiobooks on compact disc can be played on newer CD players that support MP3 technology and accept a 4.75" diameter disc, and on any personal computer that has Microsoft's Media Player or similar software. This brilliantly conceived and well- organized book is based on a lecture course given by Dr. Leonard Peikoff in 1976 entitled The Philosophy of Objectivism . The lectures were attended by Ayn Rand, who helped prepare them and who also joined Peikoff in answering questions. Ayn Rand said of these lectures: “Until or unless I write a comprehensive treatise on my philosophy, Dr. Peikoff’s course is the only authorized presentation of the entire theoretical structure of objectivism – that is, the only one that I know of my own knowledge to be fully accurate.” Peikoff, as Rand’s designated heir and foremost interpreter, reveals the abstract fundamentals of objectivism and its practical applications in the everyday world. He covers every branch of philosophy recognized by Rand and every philosophical topic that she regarded as important – from certainty to money, from logic to art, from measurement to sex. Illustrated with quotes from her published works, complete with an abundance of new material that Ayn Rand offered only in private conversations with Peikoff, these clear, cogent chapters illuminate objectivism and its creator with startling clarity.
