An introduction to the philosophy of objectivism: Ayn Rand as a case study

Abstract EN

Ayn Rand (1905-1982) created the philosophy of rational individualism, which she called objectivism.

rand asserted that there is no greater end than men’s fulfilling their own happiness.

the latter cannot be achieved by arbitrary whims.

happiness requires a rational process and respect for the facts of reality, that is meeting human needs and nature.

objectivism holds that human beings must strive to achieve happiness through hard work and productivity to live an independent and fulfilling life.
