determinist Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Did Boris Spassky ever write Ayn Rand back? Did he ever mention her afterward. I am reading Philosophy: Who Needs It? and I absolutely LOVED reading the letter she sent. If Spassky didn't, did Fischer or anyone really famous (e.g. any presidents) ever comment on her letter?

softwareNerd Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 I don't see any such letter in "Ayn Rand Letters", nor could I find any other mention by searching the Objectivism CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexL Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Did Boris Spassky ever write Ayn Rand back? ... did Fischer or anyone really famous (e.g. any presidents) ever comment on her letter? It was not a personal letter, but an "open letter." It appeared in The Ayn Rand Letter, not in the mainstream media. The probability that Spassky or Fischer or any president could read this article is vanishingly small; I guess this open letter was meant to illustrate a number of principles for the benefit of The Ayn Rand Letter's readers.
