follows).In early
1926 she emigrated to the United States, and eventually took up
residence in Hollywood, where she changed her name to Ayn Rand.Anthem
followed in 1938, The Fountainhead in 1943, and
Atlas Shrugged, her magnum opus, in 1957.Rand died on 6 March 1982 in
New York City.Most of her surviving papers and documents are
held in the Ayn Rand Archives, a department of the Ayn Rand Institute
in Irvine, California.We start from this essentialized
statement,
then work back to the fundamentals of her entire philosophic system,
then forward to an integrated overview of the whole.Such values and the means to them can only be
identified by reason, and Rand holds that they
cannot be achieved without such virtues as
independence, integrity, honesty, justice, productiveness, and pride.Rand regards ethics as an exact
science.Perception is a form of
awareness that results inexorably from a causal interaction of the
perceiver with his environment.Introduction
to Objectivist Epistemology, 1990, p.For example, Newtonian physics interrelates the perceived motions of
falling apples and wandering planets.However, Rand observes, we are only able to hold a limited number of
discrete items in mind at once.Two items are similar, relative to a third, when
their differences in measurement are comparatively insignificant.Rand argues that traditional theories
of concepts
either reify concepts (realism), or else make concepts arbitrary
(conceptualism and nominalism).When so formed, concepts are neither intrinsic
features of reality nor subjective creations of
consciousness.Animals automatically
desire what they need to survive, but human desires are based on
volitional thinking.Someone who does not pursue life can have no
values at all, and is irrelevant to ethics.Because of the quantity of information
involved, we
cannot assess the survival impact of actions considered as isolated
particulars.Rationality requires a person
to do his own thinking (independence)
and stay true to it in action (integrity).When men recognize this and
formulate
their goals accordingly, their interests do not conflict and all the
benefits of social existence are possible.The values that each individual seeks
from social
existence are valuable only as means to his own life, and these values
exist only because someone else created them to further his
life.Society must therefore be organized so as to leave each man free to
create and enjoy the values his life requires.The function of government is
to protect rights by enforcing this prohibition.Rand criticizes prior ethicists for
conceiving of values as either intrinsic (as in
Plato, Moore, and religious traditions) or as subjective
(hedonism, utilitarianism, Nietzsche, pragmatism, etc.On her view
values are objective.Values (like concepts) are
formed by a consciousness in accordance with the facts of reality.The Ayn Rand Lexicon,
