Quote:
Quote by: Morality Games  Ayn Rand was not concerned with accurately portrarying the logical form of her rival's positions, nor capable of doing so with the knowledge she thought sufficient for the task. She was more like a rogue literary critic writing a scathing interpretation of the content of a novel based on a commentary than a philosopher considering logical and linguistic dilemmas from a scientific-humanitarian background. |
Any actual examples MG or just more speculations?
Ayn Rand formulated her opinion on altruism with selflessness as the highest moral virtue. To "live for others" is only a part of selflessness... the other part is to repudiate and give up your values for the values and lives of other people... to sacrifice a higher value for a lesser one.
