  • Ayn Rand? Ayn Rand Ayn
    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. EAMONN BUTLER is director of the Adam Smith Institute, a leading think tank in the UK. He holds degrees in economics and psychology, a PhD in philosophy, and an honorary DLitt.

  • 2017 the Fountainhead Winning Essay
    2017 THE FOUNTAINHEAD WINNING ESSAY FIRST PLACE Adelina Fendrina, Sliven, Bulgaria—High School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics “Dobri Chintulov,” Sliven, Bulgaria In his courtroom speech, Howard Roark explains the nature, motivation and importance of those who create values (such as new artworks, technological inventions and innovations, and advances in theoretical knowledge). Why does he think that value-creation and what it requires of the creators is crucially important from a moral perspective? In your answer, consider what a character from another Ayn Rand novel, Atlas Shrugged, has to say about the process of value-creation, in the speech “The Nature of an Artist.” “Nothing is given to man on earth except a potential and the material on which to actualize it.” Though a quote from Rand’s philosophical essay on the objectivist ethics, this statement fully resonates with the central topic in her first monumental work of fiction as well. All ideas in the novel come together in one focal point along the narrative—in the courtroom during the trial, when Howard Roark, acting as his own defender, delivers a speech in which he displays his philosophy of life by examining the contrast and the conflict between the independent thinkers, dubbed “the Creators” and the parasites, the so-called second-handers. In “The Objectivist Ethics” Ayn Rand also states that “the two essentials of the method of survival proper to a rational being are: thinking and productive work.” Howard Roark, her first fully developed representation of a moral ideal, completely embodies this principle. For the clear understanding of this fact it is crucial to outline the core concept of morality, associated with the Objectivist philosophy and manifested most clearly in Ayn Rand’s own protagonists.

  • 2019 Atlas Shrugged Winning Essay
    2019 ATLAS SHRUGGED WINNING ESSAY FIRST PLACE Sam Weaver, Sarasota, FL — St. John’s College, Annapolis, Maryland Atlas Shrugged is a story that portrays a dramatic conflict of characters and their values. What is the most significant conflict in the story? Is it the conflict between the creators and the looters? Is it the conflict the creators experience in their own souls? Is it something else? Explain your answer. THE POWER THEY PROVIDE IT: THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND THE CENTRAL CONFLICT OF ATLAS SHRUGGED First-time readers of Ayn Rand’s novel Atlas Shrugged are likely to notice early on the conflict between two main types of characters: the creators, who work to achieve and produce values, and the looters, who do not produce and instead seek to take values from others. There is a sense in which the clash between these two groups is the essential conflict in the novel: They represent two fundamentally opposing approaches to life. However, the plot structure of Atlas Shrugged is designed to turn most crucially on another conflict: the conflict within souls of the creators, who are faced with the dilemma of deciding how to act in a world heavily populated by looters. By placing this dilemma as the central conflict in the novel, Rand illustrates in dramatic concrete events the implications of her crucial moral principle that evil has only the power the good provides it. The plot structure of Atlas Shrugged is complex, but a single action functions as the prime mover of all the rest: John Galt’s strike of the creators.

Honors Program Second Prize Essay JAY: AN INTIMATE MARTYR OF OBJECTIVISM By Jordan Miller Instructor: Dr. Matthew Ussia “At the dawn of our lives, we seek a noble vision of man’s nature and of life’s potential” (“Introduction”). According to Ayn Rand, Russian-American novelist and philosopher, Objectivism is that vision. This credo rests in the foundation that reality exists and one must discover its nature with an audacious approach of self-serving ambition. Although it has received a fair amount of following, praise, and success, Rand’s philosophy has also sourced the demise of many individuals through broken promises and mental pandemonium. The life and mental state of Jay, a broken man from the novel Intimacy by Hanif Kureishi, serves to thoroughly exemplify the philosophy’s imperfections and the reasoning behind one’s downfall on the path of Objectivism. Throughout the novel, his character development, or lack thereof, constitutes as the paradigm for an Objectivist breakdown.

  • 2020 the Fountainhead Winning Essay
    2020 THE FOUNTAINHEAD WINNING ESSAY FIRST PLACE Cora Usurelu, Woodbridge, Ontario, Canada – Thornhill Secondary School, Thornhill, Ontario, Canada Why does Toohey support Keating’s career early on? What is Toohey’s purpose in promoting the careers of people like Keating, Gordon Prescott, Lois Cook, Ike the Genius, and Gus Webb? In what way does his purpose relate to his campaign against Roark? How does this issue relate to the wider themes in the novel? Parasitism of the Collectivist Man: The Philosophy of Ellsworth Toohey in Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead “There are no men but only the great WE, One, indivisible and forever.” (19) This is the chilling government mantra Equality 7-2521 must abide by in the world of Anthem. But while Anthem examines the more obviously visible danger of having a government impose collectivist doctrines such as this, The Fountainhead explores a much more potent evil, the infiltration of collectivism, not into politics, but into the very essence of man’s soul. The paragon of this evil is a feeble, weak journalist named Ellsworth Toohey who inherently opposes, through his fundamental character, the spiritual greatness of Howard Roark. Ellsworth Toohey is a useless mediocrity. The only manner in which Toohey can become a great man is by destroying the very concept of greatness, which is his main objective throughout the novel. Toohey has dedicated himself to the destruction of independence, individualism, and integrity by asserting control over others who are spiritually weak. Toohey preaches an abhorrent collectivist doctrine to the masses, disguised as moral virtue; he encourages altruism, self-sacrifice, and the renunciation of one’s ego for the greater good; he releases didactic novels and carefully crafted articles that conceal mendacious propaganda.

    1 Double-Entry/ Dialectical Journal ENGLISH 3H/AP SUMMER READING ASSIGNMENT Ms. Lauri Markson Attached is an article from The College Digest magazine which I have copied with their permission. It stresses the importance of reading as preparation for college. Recently NTE and College Board suggested that students should read four to five books during the summer. I have also included a college- bound reading list and a list of books on past exams. Please keep this list and read as many books as you can before attending college/university. Remember you are ultimately responsible for your own learning. Camarillo High School has high standards for its honors/AP program. In light of the recent government report that found that students were not reading enough, I am asking you to read the novel The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. Then complete the following journal and author investigation during the summer and have it completed before coming to class the first day of school. Severe reduction of credit will be given to late papers. The Fountainhead 1. Read the novel The Fountainhead written by Ayn Rand. This book appeared as one of the suggested works for the AP English Literature and Composition *free-response* prompt on a past exam. 2.

In one’s youth that conviction is experienced as a self-evident absolute, and one is unable fully to believe that there are people who do not share it. That ideas matter means that knowledge matters, that truth matters, that one’s mind matters. And the radiance of that certainty, in the process of growing up, is the best aspect of youth. –Ayn Rand CONTENTS Acknowledgements 2 INTRODUCTION 2 I THE QUIETEST REVOLUTION IN HISTORY 11 II MARKETING OBJECTIVISM 24 III THE THRILL OF TREASON 32 IV LIFE, LIBERTY, PROPERTY: Persuasion and the Draft 38 V LIBERTARIANS RISING 46 EPILOGUE: MEMORY & HISTORY 52 Bibliography 55 Appendix 61 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Even a paper pertaining to egoism could not have come into existence without the generous support of so many others.

Bond 2 INTRODUCTION: WHY STUDY RAND? Very understandably, I have been asked the question “Why would you study Ayn Rand?” dozens of times since I undertook this project over the summer of 2016. In a decidedly liberal community, Rand’s name alone invokes hostility and disgust; even my past self would have been puzzled to learn that she would go on to spend a year of her life engaging academically with Rand’s work. Many of Rand’s ideas are morally repulsive; it can be physically difficult to read her fiction.

Goodreads Librari Although Rand had some mainstream success previously with her play Night of January 16th and had two previously published novels, The Fountainhead was a major breakthrough in her career.
