Some other famous quotes (on the same subject): Since it is obviously inconceivable that all religions can be right, the most reasonable conclusion is that they are all wrong.

I am a good person without obligation. (Guillermo Garcia) Morality is doing right, no matter what you are told. Religion is doing what you are told, no matter what is right.

Unmoderated Tag: Television Rating: Ok Hits: 244 Comments: 1 Ayn Rand Interview Part 5 of 5 Ayn Rand Interview Part 5 of 5 Rand held that the only moral social system is laissez-faire capitalism. Her political views were strongly individualist and hence anti-statist and anti-Communist. She exalted what she saw as the heroic American values of rational egoism and individualism. As a champion of rationality, Rand also had a strong opposition to mysticism and religion, which she believed helped foster a crippling culture acting against individual human happiness and success. Rand detested many prominent liberal and conservative politicians of her time, including prominent anti-Communists, such as Harry S. Truman, Ronald Reagan, Hubert Humphrey, and Joseph McCarthy. She opposed US involvement in World War I, World War II and the Korean War, although she also strongly denounced pacifism: "When a nation resorts to war, it has some purpose, rightly or wrongly, something to fight for -- and the only justifiable purpose is self-defense."

Permanent Tag: Television Rating: Good Hits: 240 Comments: 0 Ayn Rand Interview Part 4 of 5 Ayn Rand Interview Part 4 of 5 Ayn Rand was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, on February 2, 1905. At age six she taught herself to read and two years later discovered her first fictional hero in a French magazine for children, thus capturing the heroic vision which sustained her throughout her life. At the age of nine she decided to make fiction writing her career. Thoroughly opposed to the mysticism and collectivism of Russian culture, she thought of herself as a European writer, especially after encountering Victor Hugo, the writer she most admired.

As always, the ideas do shine through: the acknowledgement of achievement; the evils of altruism; American schools sacrificing the gifted for the less gifted; the nationalization of American oil interests in the Middle East; the fatal arguments for the existence of God;... and much more.

Permanent Tag: Television Rating: Good Hits: 303 Comments: 0 Ayn Rand Phil Donahue Interview Part 2 of Ayn Rand Phil Donahue Interview Part 2 of Rand's greatest influence was Aristotle, especially Organon ("Logic"); she considered Aristotle the greatest philosopher.In particular, her philosophy reflects an Aristotelian epistemology and metaphysics -- both Aristotle and Rand argued that "there exists an objective reality that is independent of mind and that is capable of being known."Although Rand was ultimately critical of Aristotle's ethics, others have noted her egoistic ethics "is of the eudemonistic type, close to Aristotle's own...a system of guidelines required by human beings to live their lives successfully, to flourish, to survive as 'man qua man.'" Younkins argued "that her philosophy diverges from Aristotle's by considering essences as epistemological and contextual instead of as metaphysical. She envisions Aristotle as a philosophical intuitivist who declared the existence of essences within concretes." User: DoGoalie90 Dec 8, 2007 8:43 PM
