Jingles Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 I've been talking with someone on another BBS who is losing 'faith' with the Left and is interested in discovering more about different ideologies. I'd like to provide him with a good and accurate picture of the philosophy of Objectivism but being quite new to the subject myself I can't really explain it as well as I'd like. So I'd like some links to sites that would help someone new to the subject and relevant BBS posts and so on. I've already given him the link to the 'Essentials of Objectvism' essay. Oh, and I think it would also help if I could provide some information on the Objectivist view of other ideologies such as fascism and socialism. Thanks.

FeatherFall Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 If he is interested and would like to peruse, check out the op eds at The Ayn Rand Institute. Also, I reccomend Socialism: Slavery vs. Freedom, Socialism: Class Warfare vs. Harmony of Interests, Socialism: Central Planning vs. Freedom, and Socialism: Inability of Economic Calculation. I don't know of any links that specifically cover fascism. What is BBS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingles Posted October 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 Thanks for your help. BBS is just another word of a forum, it stands for bulletin board... uh... something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prometheus98876 Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 This page on the ARI is quite useful in case you might have missed it: http://www.aynrand.org/site/PageServer?pag...vism_essentials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Guru Kid Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 www.whatisobjectvism.com I introduced myself to objectivism with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingles Posted October 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 The site doesn't seem to exist, I also tried .net and .org but still nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cole Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 (edited) He made a typo in the URL. Try: http://www.whatisobjectivism.com/ Edit: As a disclaimer, this site has a heavy TOC slant and describes ARI as the "biggest pseudo-cult." Aside from that, its description of the basics is horrible. Edited October 10, 2005 by Cole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prometheus98876 Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Try this site, I am reading through it at the moment. It contains what isd so far quite a good introduction to Objectivism : http://solohq.com/Objectivism101/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaloNoble6 Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 What Cole said about "whatisobjectivism.com" applies to solowHQ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prometheus98876 Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 (edited) What Cole said about "whatisobjectivism.com" applies to solowHQ. Yeah, after reading abit more into it, I am starting to find it is overall inadequate. It started off well though. Oh well, sorry for the not so good lead. And its SoloHQ, not SolowHQ. And you are always complaining my typing/spelling is bad Edited October 10, 2005 by Prometheus98876 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex_banana-eater Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Jingles: Go to aynrand100.org, and there is a lecture about an introduction to Objectivism by Ayn Rand herself in audio format. There is also writing on her philosophy on the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidOdden Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 And its SoloHQ, not SolowHQ.Or, that could have been a clever statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prometheus98876 Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Or, that could have been a clever statement. Yeah I know, but I was in a strange mood at the time, it seemed a good chance to tease him about it. * shrug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
