    Objectivism Is The Everyman's Philosophy

    In the universe, what you see is what you get,

    figuring it out for yourself is the way to happiness,

    and each person's independence is respected by all

  • Rand's Philosophy in Her Own Words

    • "Metaphysics: Objective Reality" "Nature, to be commanded, must be obeyed/Wishing won’t make it so." "The universe exists independent of consciousness"
    • "Epistemology: Reason" "You can’t eat your cake and have it, too." "Thinking is man’s only basic virtue"
    • "Ethics: Self-interest" "Man is an end in himself." "Man must act for his own rational self-interest" "The purpose of morality is to teach you[...] to enjoy yourself and live"
    • "Politics: Capitalism" "Give me liberty or give me death." "If life on earth is [a man's] purpose, he has a right to live as a rational being"

    I have never read, seen, or heard about any instance where Rand address Aristotle's Prime Mover? Did she ever? If she didn't, why not?

    By The Owl,
    Hi. I hope it is okay that I registered even though I am not an Objectivist, or even a student of Objectivism. I'm simply going through some of Ayn Rand's texts, and figured doing some reading at this site might help me clear up any confusion I might otherwise have, from reading them. I might ask the occassional question in the "general" forum, but even then I promise I'll try to search for an answer BEFORE asking it. It was the fact that I couldn't get the search feature to function until

    Hi everyone, My name’s Ray Girn. I’ve been following along quite closely for a while now. I can't resist the itch to join any longer. I’m really in awe of this site. You 20 year olds have it so easy! Back in my day, we never had forums like this. If we wanted to talk Objectivism, we had to get in the car and… just kidding! I’m only 25. But seriously, this site is a really great way to learn to apply Objectivism. I’m looking forward to participating. I'll be at OCON, so it'

    South Korea Confirms Hostage Killed Kim Sun-il was an evangelical Christian businessman. Yet, apparently, it was for his South Korean citizenship that he was selected to be murdered by militant Islamists. Kim Sun-il, under the knife of militant Islamists, pleaded for his life, begging his countrymen to leave Iraq. South Korea showed weakness, despite presently refusing to cancel a planned troop deployment to the region. Facing the threat of Kim Sun-il's beheading, South Korea insisted

In relation to the Rational Man concept/series of illustrated books I wish to pursue, does anyone have contact with publishers who might be willing to produce such a series? While this is still very much in its rough

    By PrimalScream,
    Here I am. This is what I think. This is what I feel. These are my gut reactions, my instincts, my mystic responses. The first moment I saw Ayn Rand's picture I could sense she was a wound up bundle of nerves and fear. Her philosophy seems the be the natural outcome of such a being. Generalization? Maybe.
