PREMIUM-Episode 78: Ayn Rand on Living Rationally
Jul 01, 2013•31 min
Episode description
On Rand's Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology (1967) and "The Objectivist Ethics" (1961).
First Rand grounds everyday human knowledge, largely by dismissing the concerns of other philosophers (even those whom she unknowingly parrots) as absurd. Then she uses this certainty to argue for her semi-Nietzschean vision of Great Men who master their emotions and rely only on themselves.
