Ayn Rand, American novelist and philosopher There is no room for the arbitrary in any activity of man, least of all in his method of cognition, and just as he has learned to be guided by objective criteria in making his physical tools, so he must be guided by objective criteria in forming his tools of cognition: his concepts.

Extractions: F a c e a challenge and find joy in the c a p a c i t y to meet it." ~ Ayn Rand A mentor to economist Alan Greenspan , novelist-philosopher Ayn Rand (1905-1982) was born Alissa Zinovievna Rosenbaum in St. Petersburg, Russia and moved to America in 1926. Inspired by Victor Hugo and Aristotle , 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

So you can imagine my excitement when I received an email from the year 2405, containing a retrospective on Ayn Rand posted to the interplanetary internet on the five-hundredth anniversary of her birth. The writer appears to be one Jan-Pieter Kroon, a "technosophist" of Dutch extraction who was (will be?) living on Mars at the time. Given the historical value of this essay, I have included it in full below. Unfortunately, my reply to the message bounced, presumably because today's email system cannot send messages forward in time, so I have been unable to contact the author or verify the accuracy of this work. Peter Saint-Andre To: recipient-list-suppressed Today marks the five-hundredth anniversary of the birth of Russian-American novelist Ayn Rand (1905-1982), one of the most popular writers of the twentieth century (author of The Fountainhead Atlas Shrugged , etc.). Although she is relatively unknown today, since I have a few idle moments I thought it would be worthwhile to record one technosophist's perspective on her place in history.

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 Rands first major novel The Fountainhead , embattled architect Howard Roark closes his own trial defense with the above pronouncement.

Zeno of Elea web here SITE MAP Ayn Rand was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, on February 2, 1905. At age six she taught herself to read and two years later discovered her first fictional hero in a French magazine for children, thus capturing the heroic vision which sustained her throughout her life. At the age of nine she decided to make fiction writing her career. Thoroughly opposed to the mysticism and collectivism of Russian culture, she thought of herself as a European writer, especially after encountering Victor Hugo, the writer she most admired. During her high school years, she was eyewitness to both the Kerensky Revolution, which she supported, and - in 1917 - the Bolshevik Revolution, which she denounced from the outset. In order to escape the fighting, her family went to the Crimea, where she finished high school. The final Communist victory brought the confiscation of her father's pharmacy and periods of near-starvation. When introduced to American history in her last year of high school, she immediately took America as her model of what a nation of free men could be. When her family returned from the Crimea, she entered the University of Petrograd to study philosophy and history. Graduating in 1924, she experienced the disintegration of free inquiry and the takeover of the university by communist thugs. Amidst the increasingly gray life, her one great pleasure was Western films and plays. Long an admirer of cinema, she entered the State Institute for Cinema Arts in 1924 to study screenwriting.

http://www.cartage.org.lb/en/themes/Biographies/MainBiographies/R/randayn/1.html

Extractions: American novelist and philosopher, whose championing of the gifted individual established her as a controversial figure in 20th-century literary and philosophical debate. Rand upheld individualism over collectivism and egoism over altruism. She staunchly defended reason as the tool that sustains and nourishes the individual against the forces that can weaken it. Born in Saint Petersburg, Russia, Rand immigrated to the United States in 1926. She worked sporadically as a screenwriter and script reader in Hollywood, California, until 1943. Her first two novels, We the Living (1936) and Anthem (1938), portray dystopias and dictatorships as warnings against monolithic sociopolitical systems such as Communism and Fascism. Atlas Shrugged (1957), a lengthy and popular novel, depicted five characters in a fictional America moving toward a bizarre form of socialism. The book was criticized for its severe characterizations and raised concerns about the harshness of Rand's search for the perfect egoist. After the book's publication, Rand stopped writing fiction. She worked as a public speaker and began to publish a newsletter, first called The Objectivist Newsletter (1962-1965), then The Objectivist (1966-1971), and later The Ayn Rand Letter (1971-1975). Her increasing visibility as a lecturer on objectivism led her to write the nonfiction books The Virtue of Selfishness: A Concept of New Egoism (1964) and Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology (1967).

Extractions: Ayn Rand A Russian-born American writer who originated a philosophy known as Objectivism, Ayn Rand, b. Feb. 2, 1905, d. Mar. 6, 1982, advocated capitalism in economics and individualism in ethics. Two novels, The Fountainhead (1943) and Atlas Shrugged (1957), contain the heart of her philosophy: that rational self-interest should be the basis of action and that self-fulfillment is an individual's moral responsibility, with productive achievement the noblest activity. She saw altruism as both a personal and a political weakness. Rand collected her philosophical writings in For the New Intellectual (1961) and, from 1962 on, edited a newsletter called The Ayn Rand Letter. Her private letters, edited by Michael S. Berliner, were published in 1995. LIBRARY HOME

http://www.freedomkeys.com/bkrand.htm

Extractions: Ayn Rand Russian-born Ayn Rand (1905-1982) brought more people into the free-market/civil libertarian individualist movement than anyone 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). Rand's most philosophical novel is Atlas Shrugged (1957), which tells what happened when some of the world's most productive individuals got tired of being exploited and went on strike. Rand elaborated her philosophy with brilliant essays, gathered in several books:

Extractions: R E L A T E D T O P I C S Youth and Education T H E A U T H O R Paul Varnell By Paul Varnell Ayn Rand's work enjoys surprising popularity among gay youth. The author explores why. A WELL-INFORMED FRIEND asked me recently why Ayn Rand is so popular among young gays and lesbians. He assured me that he keeps running into young gay Rand fans in social circumstances and on the Internet. Just recently a gay man visiting his home page told him he should read Ayn Rand. I had not thought much about it before, but it seems reasonable that a writer who stresses individuality, trusting your own perceptions and confidence in your ability to achieve against the odds would be popular among young gays who might feel particularly assaulted by social pressures contrary to their own deepest feelings. Some background here. Ayn Rand (1905-1982) was a novelist and philosopher best known for three remarkable, long novels:

Extractions: Summary Related Topics Books, Arts and Media The Author Paul Varnell Support Donate to IGF Ayn Rand and Homosexuality By Paul Varnell First published Dec. 3, 2003, in the Chicago Free Press Novelist Ayn Rand (1905-1982), best known as author of The Fountainhead (1943) and Atlas Shrugged (1957), is rightly regarded as a rigorous defender of individualism and personal autonomy, of the right to craft a life satisfying to oneself rather than others, of the importance of thinking logically and carefully examining traditional assumptions. Given this emphasis, it is easy to understand why many gays and lesbians would find in Rand's novels a message of encouragement, a powerful nudge toward self-acceptance and a foundation for self-esteem in the face of moralizing religions and social stigma. The Fountainhead Rand's view of homosexuality led some gays to remain in the closet or try therapy in the vain hope of changing their orientation. It is all the more surprising, then, that Rand herself held a strongly negative view of homosexuality which during the 1960s and 1970s influenced many of her followers, leading some gays to remain in the closet or try therapy in the vain hope of changing their orientation. Yet there is nothing anywhere in the novels to suggest any hostility to homosexuality. Perhaps even the opposite is true in the themes of strong bonding between some of the male characters. In
