Abstract In his book, Ayn Rand Nation, Gary Weiss provides a journalistic critique of Ayn Rand and the influence of her followers. It is a valuable piece of reporting. His conclusions about her philosophy and influence, however, should be used with some caution.

Abstract:
Abstract Ayn Rand most certainly favored liberty, although she renounced the "libertarian" appellation. Yet, in her continuous, contemptuous and shrill attacks on religion, she was denigrating an institution that has made great contributions to freedom. The present essay is an attempt to right the balance; to demonstrate that religion and liberty are not the enemies supposed by Rand.

Abstract This essay compares audio recordings of Ayn Rand's question and answer sessions with Robert Mayhew's renditions as published in the Estate-approved volume Ayn Rand Answers. Mayhew, it turns out, rewrote nearly every answer included in the book. He abridged long answers, rearranged parts of answers, left transcription errors uncorrected, and was frequently insensitive to Rand's style of speaking. Mayhew even deleted portions of a few answers deemed embarrassing to Leonard Peikoff and the Estate of Ayn Rand (e.g., references to cigarette smoking or to Nathaniel Branden) and kept other answers (e. g., about homosexuality or amphetamine use) out of the volume entirely.

Abstract:
The origins of a romantic worldview in the work of Russian-born American writer and philosopher Ayn Rand (Alisa Zinovievna Rosenbaum, 1905-1982) is studied in the article. The analysis is based on the Russian and American versions of the romantic trend in literature, which differ in the interpretation of the romantic hero. Ayn Rand formulates his own understanding of romanticism, in which the determining factor for a romantic hero is the presence of will in relation to his own character and being. Comparing the texts of Rand and the representatives of business romance S. Mervin and G.K. Webster, Calumet K (1901), it can be noted that their characters are outwardly similar (they are responsible, principled, they can inspire others), but they differ on a deeper level. It is shown that the fate of humanity lies at the center of the story of Rand’s novels, and not just the comprehension of ways to solve another production problem. It is noted that her characters overcome contradictions, try to understand themselves. It is stated that Ayn Rand makes the task of his work precisely the overcoming of dualism, following the traditions of Russian literature on American ground: taking the efficacious man as a basis, she embodies in her heroes what the Russian romantics aspired to: create the ideal of a whole person who changes himself and the world around him.

Full text
Abstract:
This essay examines the relationship between the novelist/philosopher Ayn Rand (The Fountainhead, Atlas Shrugged) and the broader conservative movement in the twentieth-century United States. Although Rand was often dismissed as a lightweight popularizer, her works of radical individualism advanced bold arguments about the moral status of capitalism, and thus touched upon a core issue of conservative identity. Because Rand represented such a forthright pro-capitalist position, her career highlights the shifting fortunes of capitalism on the right. In the 1940s, she was an inspiration to those who struggled against the New Deal and hoped to bring about a new, market-friendly political order. As a second generation of conservatives built upon these sentiments and attempted to tie them to a defense of Christian tradition, Rand's status began to erode. Yet by the late 1960s, Rand's once-revolutionary defense of capitalism had become routine, although she herself remained a controversial figure. The essay traces the ways in which Rand's ideas were assimilated and modified by key intellectuals on the right, including William F. Buckley, Jr, Whittaker Chambers, and Gary Wills. It identifies the relationship between capitalism and Christianity as a fundamental dilemma for conservative and right-wing thinkers. By treating Rand as an intellectual and cultural leader of significant import, the essay broadens our understanding of the American right beyond the confines of “mainstream” conservatism, and re-establishes the primacy of the 1930s, and 1940s, to its ideological formation. Responding to a paucity of scholarship on Rand, the essay offers an analysis and summary of Rand's ideas, and argues that despite her outsider status, Rand's work both embodied and shaped fundamental themes of right-wing thought throughout the century.

Abstract:
¿Cómo conectar la psicología con el pensamiento crítico? En este ensayo lohago por introducir dos términos más. Los dos términos ambos refieren precisamente a la crítica de la psicología misma. El primero es la crítica de la psicología desde el psicoanálisis y el segundo es la crítica de la psicología desde una agenda derechista y conservadora. Partiendo de este último, involucro a la obra de Ayn Rand (1905-1982), novelista y filósofa de culto, cuya obra es uno de los elogios más radicales sobre el capitalismo. Rand ha formulado una crítica muy aguda de la psicología y la psicologización, pero, argumentaré que Ayn Rand al fin y cabo recae en la psicología y la psicologización. Ya que los eruditos de Silicon Valley se inspiran en Ayn Rand y su filosofía/psicología objetivista, la digitalización de la subjectividad nos presenta conun caso ejemplar para escudriñar como los modelos y teorías de la psicología son parte integrante de la columna vertebral del capitalismo digital de hoy. Desde aquí es claro que para que una crítica de la psicología desde el psicoanálisis sea una crítica que evite recaer en la psicología y la psicologización, tiene que ser una crítica política, una crítica comprometida y partisano.

Abstract Despite the fact that Ayn Rand did not influence the best artists, she did leave an important legacy for the American imagination and literary establishment. Rand's influence is arguably more multi-genre than any other author. Some multi-genre authors who were possibly influenced by Rand include: John Steinbeck (literature), Mickey Spillane and Ian Fleming (detective fiction), Ira Levin, Cameron Hawley, Erika Holzer and Kay Nolte Smith (popular fiction) and Terry Goodkind (science fiction). Her influence represents an important balance between many various types of American Literature and is a credit to the hybrid and versatile nature of her fiction.

Ayn Rand and Allan Bloom are among the most well-known American critics of the contemporary universities. They both point out that the crisis of modern university is a reflection of a much broader crisis of contemporary culture. The purpose of this text is to present the arguments of both thinkers, which confirm the diagnosis of the university crisis. In Rand and Bloom’s work we can find the characteristics of a number of symptoms of this crisis. The most important are: 1) the political and ideological entanglement of the university environment; 2) all-encompassing skepticism; 3) the lack of a coherent vision of reality; 4) irrationality and departure from reason; 5) the postulate of neutrality and the avoidance of moral judgments; 6) retreat from philosophy and humanistic education.

Abstract:
Abstract The merit of Ayn Rand's Objectivist philosophy is often based on its economic and social tenets surrounding individual rights. Though she is often neglected by feminists, there is one aspect of Rand's fiction and philosophy that requires feminist attention: her illustration of female sexuality in response to masculinity and hero worship. In The Fountainhead (1943) and Atlas Shrugged (1957), Rand respectively presents her ideal man and the ideal manner in which a woman would respond to such a man. These actions necessarily conflict with what Rand claims is a rational ethical theory and detract from Rand's otherwise gender neutral philosophy.

Abstract:
The novels by Russian immigrant writer Ayn Rand (1905–82) still attract a large readership, not least thanks to a recent renaissance of libertarian ideas in the US. Was it Rand's intention, when writing her novels, to construct political tracts, as many insinuate, or was she indeed trying to imitate her literary idols, as she herself claimed? The answer is complicated due to Rand's own contradictory statements on fiction's impact. Although Rand suggested that it was the reader who gave text meaning, she also believed her books to have an unambiguous message that should have a distinct effect on the reader.

This paper is a parallel reading of Frank Lloyd Wright's treatise Disappearing City and Ayn Rand's novel The Fountainhead. The author explores the rhetoric of anti-urban utopias of the Depression-era inspired by the myth of the American pioneer and the conquest of the frontier. She identifies three characteristics of Wright and Rand's anti-urban constructs: the celebration of virility, the denial of political engagement and anti-intellectualism, all combined in the dream of primordial, ideal capitalism. What are the contradictions and inconsistencies inherent in building an anti-urban utopia? This is the question this paper intends to answer.

Abstract Admirers of Isabel Paterson's political and historical theory have often been critical of her use of imagery drawn from various branches of engineering. An examination of Ayn Rand's comments on this issue introduces important questions about the use of imagistic language in theory and description, the role of imagery in Paterson's theories, and the difficulties that Rand encountered in assessing those theories.

Abstract:
The article gives an overview of the ideology of libertarianism. The purpose of the article is analyzing the main ideas of the libertarian move- ment and how they relate to the philosophy of Ayn Rand's objectivism. The essence of this ideological and political direction can not be imagined without the philosophical work of American writer Ayn Rand. The main idea of libertarians is to uphold market freedoms and to object to redistribu- tion through taxation to implement the liberal theory of equality. This movement gets its modern meaning in the late 30's and early 40's of the twen- tieth century in the United States, when enough opponents of the New Deal policy of US President F. Roosevelt appeared. Ayn Rand was one of the first to support libertarians, but later she began to distance herself from them for a variety of reasons, both personal and philosophical. In Ukraine today, this movement has gained popularity due to the ideological direction of the political party "Servant of the People". Today, members of the libertarian political movement are engaged in promoting and spreading the ideas of "objectivism" among the masses in the United States. This movement, which took classical liberal theory as a basis, originated in the American tradition of individualism as a result of dissatisfaction with the transformation of the liberal idea in the practice of political liberalism toward socialism and developed into a sufficiently strong political flow. Ayn Rand's achievements do not lose their relevance in times of global crisis as a means of overcoming the state of despair. It inspires hope that man himself can achieve a happy life unlike most modern ethical theories that cannot refute a person's ultimate dependence as a small screw in the world mechanism. But the ideology of libertarianism, inspired by the American writer, though tempting uninformed people with their possible "independence" of society from the state machine, still remains a rather ambiguous political ideology.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper contrasts the work of Ayn Rand and Alasdair Maclntyre on moral agency. Both argue that moral agency requires the application of a consistent moral code across relationships with others and that such consistency is rarely evident in the modern social order. However, while Maclntyre holds this failure to be a defining feature of the modern social order, Rand holds this to be a failure of individuals and a marker of a wider cultural confusion. While Rand sees selfishness and capitalism as the means to overcome individual and institutional "mixed premises," Maclntyre condemns both.
