Quote by: againstthewind  I wonder something: Can you explain what Ayn Rand's philosophy was? Just informational purposes and Alan Watts? |
Ayn Rand called her philosophy Objectivism
The starting point (as she would put it) is: "Existence exists—and the act of grasping that statement implies two corollary axioms: that something exists which one perceives and that one exists possessing consciousness, consciousness being the faculty of perceiving that which exists."
There are some threads on here discussing it....
I don't personally call myself an Objectivist, because I'm still learning a lot about it. I can't really say I support everything that falls under that title yet (because I don't know it all). What I do love about Ayn Rand is that she actually builds her philosophy from the bottom up. I like how she uses evidence based on the world that we know. I hope to learn even more about her ideas soon.
and I love me some Alan Watts
