Ayn Rand's Blurbs |
About me:
My philosophy and my fiction both emphasize, above all, my concepts of individualism, rational egoism ("rational self-interest"), and capitalism. Believing government has a legitimate but relatively minimal role in a free society, I am not an anarchist, but a minarchist. My novels are based upon the archetype of the Randian hero, a man whose ability and independence causes conflict with the masses, but who perseveres nevertheless to achieve his values. I view this hero as the ideal and make it the express goal of my literature to showcase such heroes. I believe:
1)That man must choose his values and actions by reason;
2)That the individual has a right to exist for his own sake, neither sacrificing self to others nor others to self; and
3)That no one has the right to seek values from others by physical force, or impose ideas on others by physical force.
