Atlas Shrugged- A Review
2009-06-02 16:17:00 Atlas Shrugged is a Novel authored by Ayn Rand who is known for developing a philosophy based on Objectivism, Epistemology and Metaphysics.It took me more than 3 month to complete this "Magnum Opus " of "Thinker Philosopher and Doer" AYN RAND as she liked to call herself.I concur with her in pieces... I agree with her definition of Morality.. Ethics ... Guilt... Selfishness... Love ...Objectivism.. Metaphysics... Self Interest..But at the same time her strong biased attitude towards Capitalism & Anarchism and neglecting the positive aspects of other forms of economy (for say Mixed Economy) is certainly not pragmatic enough. Her abhorrence towards Socialism and Faith is prevalent throughout the novel. In accordance with her creed.. Faith is just a way to escape reality and objectivity.Other than that I like her for being a Male Chauvinist (satiates my male ego ;) ).. Because the protagonist Dagny Taggart first submit herself to Francisco D Anconia then Hank Rearden and finally to...

On Buying Atlas Shrugged for the second time
2009-03-17 08:18:00 I believe I bought my first copy of Atlas Shrugged at Renzi’s Bookstore (long since defunct) in Williamstown, Massachusetts. I either loaned that copy out or gave it away because I could not find the tattered paperback on the shelf where I keep Rand’s books. So, last night, I headed to Barnes & Noble with a ...

Tilting at Windmills
2008-10-25 20:01:00 “Tilting at Windmills” is a metaphoric expression of the futility of fighting a battle one cannot win. The idea is the product of an adventure experienced by the hero in Cervantes’ Don Quixote. In the story, Quixote, a slightly off-kilter errant-knight, mistakes a row of windmills for evil giants and charges them with ...

Atlas Shrugged
2008-02-15 14:45:00 Pyscho (or maybe not) who sent Keith Olbermann fake anthrax gets five years probation in a LA jail rubber room. Olbermann Watch reproduces one of the notes: "There are too many demogogues in America. All of you are poisoning the well. Time to give your kind a taste of your own medicine."Unfortunately the white powder was nothing more than AJAX, baking soda, laundry soap. The guy sent similar valentines to celebrities and politicians.

The 50th Anniversary of Atlas Shrugged
2007-10-10 21:08:00 Today marks the 50th anniversary of the publication of Atlas Shrugged. There’s no doubt that both Rand and her more fanatic followers have many faults, but there is also value to her work which should not be forgotten. As I recently wrote, Rand fled the Soviet Union and her ideas were shaped ?when the Bolsheviks ...

I have been suggesting everyone read Atlas Shrugged by Ayn R
2007-01-13 16:29:01 I have been suggesting everyone read Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand for years now. Seems Rush Limbaugh agrees with me. Here is what Rush had to say, Read Atlas Shrugged, Again: RUSH: How many of you have read the book Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand? I read the book and The Fountainhead, a number of them. Atlas Shrugged for those of you who haven’t read it, I’ll give you the basic book report summary. It is basically about the achievers of life quitting, because they’re tired of being 1% of the population pulling the other 99% in the cart. They’re tired of everything they earned being taxed; they’re tired of everything they earn being taken from them and given to everybody else, and they quit, and when they quit, nobody has anything. They just throw up their hands in frustration and say, “Screw it.” The book is also a guide on how to defeat socialism and liberalism. I will go so far as to say most of Rush’s philosophy is derived from Atlas Shru... |
