Objectivist Round Up - May 10, 2012: Welcome to the May 10, 2012 edition of the Objectivist Round-Up.

This week presents insight and analyses written by authors who are

animated by Objectivism, the philosophy of Ayn Rand. According to Ayn

Rand:

My philosophy, in essence, is the concept of

man as a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of

his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity, and

reason as his only absolute.
