Ayn Rand is, to me, more than merely the author of those great books. Thanks to Ayn Rand, I came to appreciate that happiness – defined by her as a state of noncontradictory joy – is not merely important, but the only purpose for living. All principles, ideas and actions must serve this purpose, writes Michael J Hurd in the Capitalism Magazine. |

The most controversial aspect of Rand's philosophyher rejection of altruism and her embrace of ethical egoisms also one of the most misunderstood. For Rand, the Aristotelian recognition of properly understood human interests as rationally harmonious was the essential foundation for a free society. It's a mistake, though, to think that the validation of Rand's legacy depends on academic approval. Human progress is often driven by people either outside or on the margins of the academic establishment, writes Roderick T Long for the Ludwig von Mises Institute. |
