    Who Is Ayn Rand? Ayn Rand Few 20th century intellectuals have been as influential—and controversial— as the novelist and philosopher Ayn Rand. Her thinking still has a profound impact, particularly on those who come to it through her novels, Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead—with their core messages of individualism, self-worth, and the right to live without the impositions of others. Although ignored or scorned by some academics, traditionalists, pro- gressives, and public intellectuals, her thought remains a major influence on Ayn Rand many of the world’s leading legislators, policy advisers, economists, entre- preneurs, and investors. INTRODUCTION AN Why does Rand’s work remain so influential? Ayn Rand: An Introduction illuminates Rand’s importance, detailing her understanding of reality and human nature, and explores the ongoing fascination with and debates about her conclusions on knowledge, morality, politics, economics, government, AN INTRODUCTION public issues, aesthetics and literature. The book also places these in the context of her life and times, showing how revolutionary they were, and how they have influenced and continue to impact public policy debates.

The court hears the case of Karen Andre, a former secretary and lover of businessman Bjorn Faulkner, of whose murder she is accused. The play does not directly portray the events leading to Faulkner's death; instead the jury must rely on character testimony to decide whether Andre is guilty. The play's ending depends on the verdict. Rand's intention was to dramatize a conflict between individualism and conformitywith the jury's verdict revealing which viewpoint they preferred. The play was first produced in in Los Angeles under the title Woman on Trial Ideal it received positive reviews and enjoyed moderate commercial success. Producer Al Woods took it to Broadway during the —36 season and re-titled it Night of January 16th. It drew attention for its innovative audience-member jury and became a hit, running for seven months. Doris Nolanin her Broadway debut, received positive reviews for her portrayal of the lead role. Several regional productions followed. An off- Broadway revival inunder the title Penthouse Legendwas a commercial and critical failure. Think Twice film based on the play was released in ; the story has also been adapted for television and radio. Rand had many heated disputes with Woods over script changes he wanted for the Think Twice production.

  • A Brief Biography of Ayn Rand, Author of Anthem Directions: Read The
    A brief biography of Ayn Rand, author of Anthem Directions: Read the brief biography information for the author of Anthem. How might her life have influenced her writings? Ayn Rand in her 20s Ayn Rand was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, on February 2, 1905. At age six she taught herself to read and two years later discovered her first fictional hero in a French magazine for children, thus capturing the heroic vision which sustained her throughout her life. At the age of nine she decided to make fiction writing her career. Thoroughly opposed to the mysticism and collectivism of Russian culture, she thought of herself as a European writer, especially after encountering Victor Hugo, the writer she most admired. During her high school years, she was eyewitness to both the Kerensky Revolution, which she supported, and—in 1917—the Bolshevik Revolution, which she denounced from the outset. In order to escape the fighting, her family went to the Crimea, where she finished high school. The final Communist victory brought the confiscation of her father’s pharmacy and periods of near-starvation. When introduced to American history in her last year of high school, she immediately took America as her model of what a nation of free men could be. When her family returned from the Crimea, she entered the University of Petrograd to study philosophy and history. Graduating in 1924, she experienced the disintegration of free inquiry and the takeover of the university by communist thugs. Amidst the increasingly gray life, her one great pleasure was Western films and plays.

  • Ayn Rand's the Fountainhead: Individualism V/S Collectivism
    AYN RAND’S THE FOUNTAINHEAD: INDIVIDUALISM V/S COLLECTIVISM DR. PRADEEP G. SONAWANE Late M. D. Sisode Arts & Commerce College, Nardana. Dist. Dhule (MS) INDIA Ayn Rand was a major intellectual of the twentieth century. Rand always found capitalism and the individualism of the Unites States as a welcome alternative to the corrupt and negative Socialism of Russia. After becoming proficient in English and establishing herself as a writer in the U.S., she became a passionate advocate of her philosophy, Objectivism. Ayn Rand’s philosophy is in Aristotelian tradition. It is emphasized upon metaphysical, empirical reason in epistemology and self-realization in ethics. Objectivism tells about a rational self- interest and self-responsibility, the idea that no person is any other person’s slave. The virtues of her philosophy are principled policies based on rational assessment, productiveness, honesty, integrity, independence, justice and pride. Her political philosophy is in the classical liberal tradition. It emphasizes on individualism. Keywords: Capitalism, Individualism, Socialism, Objectivism, Epistemology, Self-realization, etc. INTRODUCTION Ayn Rand wrote four novels: We the Living (1936), Anthem (1938), The Fountainhead (1943) and Atlas Shrugged (1957). She also published a play, Night of January 16th (1936), one short story The Simplest Thing in the World and seven books of nonfiction. The Fountainhead (1943) is Rand‟s first major professional success. It is a rationale for „selfishness or „egoism as a moral good. It is her best seller in which the difference between human beings whose souls are self-actualized and whose values are all derived not from any inner urgings, but from what others find valuable.

  • Twelve Angry Men
    Reno Little Theater in partnership with Hug High School presents Twelve Angry Men by Sherman L. Sergal, Adapted from the television show by Reginald Rose Directed by David Zybert November 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16 at 8:00 pm November 10 and 17 at 2:00 pm 2002 Produced by special arrangement with The Dramatic Publishing Company Twelve Angry Men Twelve Angry Men is a primer on what to do and what not to do when deliberating as a jury. At first, only one juror applies the correct legal standard of requiring proof beyond a reasonable doubt. He is the only juror who will not accept the prosecution’s case at face value. His questions eventually lead a number of other jurors to make a searching inquiry into the facts presented at the trial. But other jurors are not as open minded. One is prejudiced against the defendant because of the defendant’s social background. Another is angry at his son who is the same age as the defendant and votes to convict as an expression of his anger. Another has tickets to a Broadway musical and wants to get a quick conviction and get out of the jury room. We see how each of these attitudes can lead to a miscarriage of justice. The play shows the dynamics of jury deliberations: the anger, the false starts, the personality conflicts, the joint effort and the functioning of several minds together to ferret out the truth. Originally presented on Studio One, CBS. The play is set on a sweltering New York afternoon Summer, 1961 Act I Late Afternoon Ten-minute Intermission Act II A second or two later Ten-minute Intermission Act III Immediately following Act II Director’s Notes There is a fine dramatic tradition of courtroom drama in theater.

  • Constructing a “Sense of Life”: Ayn Rand's Night of January 16Th from Conception To
    CONSTRUCTING A “SENSE OF LIFE”: AYN RAND’S NIGHT OF JANUARY 16th FROM CONCEPTION TO “DISASTER” Patrick M. Konesko A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2009 Committee: Dr. Ronald Shields, Advisor Dr. Scott Magelssen Dr. Lesa Lockford ii ABSTRACT Dr. Ronald Shields, Advisor During the course of her career, Ayn Rand published a number of landmark novels, plays, and essays that, in many ways, influenced conceptions of the individual spirit, society, and government. With boldly drawn, individualistic characters battling against an oppressive and compromising society, Rand’s writing has inspired many devoted fans and passionate opponents. Even with her notoriety, and the frequent interpretation of her novels, her early work remains largely unexplored. In her play, Night of January 16th, Rand began with a simple goal: to adapt courtroom drama into an exciting and interactive form by including audience participation and frequent ruptures of the fourth wall. As the project began to develop, however, Rand’s work took on a new focus—to attempt, using the audience as the jury for the production, to gauge, and ultimately influence the audience’s “sense of life.” This study begins with in-depth exploration of Night of January 16th from conception to Rand’s ultimate declaration of failure. Then I compare two versions of the script in order to examine Rand’s later changes and updates. Throughout this process I suggest possible motivations for these changes, and their implications on the larger work.
