“MAN—EVERY MAN—IS AN END IN HIMSELF, NOT A MEANS TO THE ENDS OF OTHERS; HE MUST LIVE FOR HIS OWN SAKE, NEITHER SACRIFICING HIMSELF TO OTHERS NOR SACRIFICING OTHERS TO HIMSELF; HE MUST WORK FOR HIS RATIONAL SELF-INTEREST, WITH THE ACHIEVEMENT OF HIS OWN HAPPINESS AS THE HIGHEST MORAL PURPOSE OF HIS LIFE.“
AYN RAND
AYN RAND WAS A RUSSIAN-BORN AMERICAN WRITER AND PHILOSOPHER. SHE IS KNOWN FOR HER FICTION AND FOR DEVELOPING A PHILOSOPHICAL SYSTEM SHE NAMED OBJECTIVISM.
BORN AND EDUCATED IN RUSSIA, SHE MOVED TO THE UNITED STATES IN 1926. AFTER TWO EARLY NOVELS THAT WERE INITIALLY UNSUCCESSFUL AND TWO BROADWAY PLAYS, SHE ACHIEVED FAME WITH HER 1943 NOVEL, THE FOUNTAINHEAD.
IN 1957, RAND PUBLISHED HER BEST-KNOWN WORK, THE NOVEL ATLAS SHRUGGED.
RAND ADVOCATED REASON AS THE ONLY MEANS OF ACQUIRING KNOWLEDGE; SHE REJECTED FAITH AND RELIGION. SHE SUPPORTED RATIONAL AND ETHICAL EGOISM AND REJECTED ALTRUISM.
IN POLITICS, SHE CONDEMNED THE INITIATION OF FORCE AS IMMORAL AND OPPOSED COLLECTIVISM, STATISM, AND ANARCHISM.
INSTEAD, SHE SUPPORTED LAISSEZ-FAIRE CAPITALISM, WHICH SHE DEFINED AS THE SYSTEM BASED ON RECOGNIZING INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS.
ALTHOUGH RAND OPPOSED LIBERTARIANISM, WHICH SHE VIEWED AS ANARCHISM, SHE IS OFTEN ASSOCIATED WITH THE MODERN LIBERTARIAN MOVEMENT IN THE UNITED STATES.
SHE WAS SHARPLY CRITICAL OF MOST PHILOSOPHERS AND PHILOSOPHICAL TRADITIONS KNOWN TO HER, EXCEPT FOR ARISTOTLE, THOMAS AQUINAS, AND CLASSICAL LIBERALS.
