If you have read Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead or Atlas Shrugged, then you know what she means when referring to “man as a heroic being.” But Ayn Rand has more than her inspirational novels to offer.
The philosophy which is the basis of her novels — Objectivism — offers the individual a rational philosophy for living on earth — by means of which he can achieve the best within him.
Objectivism offers a radical alternative to the ideas which dominate today’s culture and universities: mysticism, altruism, and collectivism — and their results, such as nihilism, environmentalism, “multiculturalism,” and statism. Objectivism challenges 2,000 years of thought — and provides the basis for a new Renaissance.
Objectivism is a complete, systematic, integrated system of thought. As such it requires in-depth study.
Produced by the Ayn
Rand Institute, this Web site is intended to provide leads to those interested
in learning more about Ayn Rand’s philosophy. It is by no means a comprehensive
treatment of the subject and should not be regarded as definitive. It does, however,
include essays outlining the basics of Objectivism by Ayn Rand and her leading
advocates, a suggested reading list for those who want guidance in reading about
Objectivism, a sampling of articles that apply Objectivism to a range of topics,
and other resources that will help provide an overview. If you have questions
about Ayn Rand or Objectivism that are not answered on these Web pages, you
