Objectivism- The philosophy of reason
![[AUDIO]](/view-wwwdir_n/http://www.rpi.edu/~pier1/sound2.gif)
Ayn Rand
(click for my pronounciation) created the philosophy of Objectivism.
Objectivism promotes:
- reason- the use of your mind to acquire knowledge of the world,
- rational self-interest- moral selfish motivation,
- and the belief in an external, objective reality.
Ayn Rand summarizes:
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 achievements as his noblest activity, and reason as
his only absolute.
