Objectivism is a philosophical system developed by Russian-American writer
Ayn Rand (1905–1982). Rand first expressed Objectivism in her fiction, most
notably The Fountainhead (1943) and Atlas Shrugged (1957), and later in non
-fiction essays and books.[1] Leonard Peikoff, a professional philosopher
and Rand's designated intellectual heir,[2] later gave it a more formal
structure. Peikoff characterizes Objectivism as a "closed system" that is
not subject to change.[3]
Objectivism's central tenets are that reality exists independently of
consciousness, that human beings have direct contact with reality through
sense perception, that one can attain objective knowledge from perception
through the process of concept formation and inductive logic, that the
proper moral purpose of one's life is the pursuit of one's own happiness (
rational self-interest), that the only social system consistent with this
morality is one that displays full respect for individual rights embodied in
laissez-faire capitalism, and that the role of art in human life is to
transform humans' metaphysical ideas by selective reproduction of reality
into a physical form—a work of art—that one can comprehend and to which
one can respond emotionally.
Academic philosophers have mostly ignored or rejected Rand's philosophy.[4]
Nonetheless, Objectivism has been a significant influence among libertarians
and American conservatives.[5] The Objectivist movement, which Rand founded
, attempts to spread her ideas to the public and in academic settings.[6] |
