So what do you think of Rand's objectivism? Are you repelled and disgusted? Do you think there's any truth in it?Yasmeen wrote:Atlas Shrugged is one of my favorite books of all time, but I'll admit that the 50-page monologue at the end was horribly painful. I stuck it out, but damn... it could have been reduced to about 1/10 of its length and said all it needed to say.
The only nonfiction I've read of Rand's is The Art of Selfishness. The words and phrases I mentioned are generic terms that have been used for quite a while in critical thinking (not critical theory, which is something different). A discussion of the terms could be found in any number of books. I've got one called Asking the Right Questions, by Browne and Keeley. It's OK, but nothing special.Huggybone wrote:Actually, he probably just reads Ayn Rand's non fiction and is looking for a place to spout it off.
