Ayn Rand's Books
| |
Atlas Shrugged
by Ayn Rand
| Atlas Shrugged is the astounding story of a man who said that he would stop the motor of the world—and did. It is a mystery, not about the murder of a man's body, but about the murder—and rebirth—of man's spirit.
Atlas Shrugged is the "second most influential book for Americans today" after the Bible, according to a joint survey conducted by the Library of Congress and the Book of the Month Club.

The Fountainhead
by Ayn Rand
| Here is the story of an intransigent young architect, Howard Roark, of his violent battle against a mindless status quo, and of his explosive love affair with a beautiful woman who worships him yet struggles to defeat him. In order to build his kind of buildings according to his own standards, Roark must fight against every variant of human corruption, including an unprincipled, parasitic rival; a powerful publisher of yellow journalism; and, worst of all, the country's leading humanitarian and power-luster.

We the Living
by Ayn Rand
| Ayn Rand said this novel "...is as near to an autobiography as I will ever write. The plot is invented, the background is not. The specific events of Kira's life were not mine; her ideas, her convictions, her values were and are."
We the Living is not a story of politics but of the men and women who have to struggle for existence behind the Red banners and slogans. It is a picture of what dictatorship—of any kind—does to human beings, what kind of men are able to survive, and which of them remain as the ultimate sinners.

Virtue of Selfishness
by Ayn Rand
| Let Ayn Rand describe that ethics which is for man living his life in this world:
"Man must choose his actions, values, and goals by the standard of that which is proper to man—in order to achieve, maintain, fulfill and enjoy that ultimate value, that end in itself, which is his own life." [Ayn Rand, The Virtue of Selfishness, "The Objectivist Ethics," page 25.]
"The standard of value of the Objectivist ethics—the standard by which one judges what is good or evil—is man's life, or; that which is required for man's survival qua man." [Ayn Rand, The Virtue of Selfishness, "The Objectivist Ethics," page 23.]

Capitalism, The Unknown Ideal
by Ayn Rand
| Everything that was ever right with America can be directly attributed to the extent its government and it policies were consistent with the principles of Capitalism described in this book. Everything that is wrong with America today can be directly attributed to the extent those principles have been compromised and violated.
Human liberty, human life itself, in its fullest sense, is not possible except where Laissez Faire Capitalism reigns.

Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology
by Ayn Rand
| Here is the heart of Objectivist philosophy. Everything else rests on the principles explicated in this very brief but very rich introduction to the Objectivist philosophy of knowledge, epistemology.
What are concepts, how are they formed, how are they related to reality, how do we know and how can we be certain of our knowledge? These are the questions this book not only answers but sweeps clean away.

For the New Intellectual
by Ayn Rand
| But, the never materialized, these, "new intellectual," which should be the professors and teachers in our schools and universities today. Instead, they all went backward, and the dominant philosophy is not one of reason and truth, but one of mysticism and collectivism.
Here are the principles that should be dominating the world of intellectual pursuit. The fact they are not is demonstrated in every strata of our educational system and our society.

Return of the Primitive:
The Anti-Industrial Revolution
by Ayn Rand
| The primitives have returned in full force. While the fall of Rome was due to its own political, economic, and moral corruption, the barbarians that brought the final destruction came from outside. Today, the barbarians are in the city and only waiting to take over. Every description of the anti-human anti-mind barbarian described in this book has come fully into being. The "Comprachicos" have done there work well.
"It is only man—and his work, his achievement, his mind—that can be violated with impunity, while nature is not to be defiled by a single bridge or skyscraper. It is only human beings that they do not hesitate to murder, it is only human schools that they bomb, only human habitations that they burn, only human property that they loot—while they crawl on their bellies in homage to the reptiles of the marshlands, whom they protect from the encroachments of human airfields, and humbly seek the guidance of the stars on how to live on this incomprehensible planet.
"They are worse than conservatives—they are "conservationists." What do they want to conserve? Anything except man. what do they want to rule? Nothing, except man." [Ayn Rand, The Anti-Industrial Revolution, p. 147-148.]
