Applying Rand’s Objectivism

Required Resources: Thinking Critically about Ethical Issues by Vincent Ruggiero 8th Edition
Read/review the following resources for this activity:

  • Textbook: Chapter 8
  • Lesson
  • Minimum of 1 scholarly source 

Introduction
Ayn Rand’s Objectivist philosophy has been touted by her detractors as the philosophy of self-interested selfishness. Her four epistemological principles include the following:

  • Metaphysics: Objective reality of the world and the objects in it.
  • Epistemology: Reason as the one and only key to understanding.
  • Ethics: Self-interest not only in what behavior is but also what it should be.
  • Politics: Capitalism through the performance of deeds by individuals who are self-interested. 

In the early 1960s, a student asked a spokesman for Objectivism what would happen to the poor in an Objectivist’s free society. The spokesman answered, “If you want to help them, you will not be stopped.” Based on Rand’s works, Atlas Shrugged or The Fountainhead, one will conclude that this would be the answer Ayn would have given to that student as well.

  • What do you conclude from the answer given by the Objectivist spokesperson?
