As George Smith has commented, there has appeared relatively little in the way of competent reflection of Ayn Rand as a philosopher. Accounts written by [her] admirers are frequently eulogistic and uncritical, where as accounts written b...

We do not kill every person in this world because there a re a few rapists and murderers... we merely punish those who cause harm people. A fraternity without hazing ...

Yet another interpretation would suggest that the question whether what Roark designed and built is indeed a "temple" is one resolvable by a kind of direct perception, not requiring the mediation of verbal argument and therefore n...

Alexis De Tocqueville Ayn Rand
1,918 words... ark is acquitted. V. THE TWO TRIALS: LITERARY METHOD & LEGAL METHOD The Cortland trial, then, turns out quite differently from the Stoddard trial. In the Cortland trial Roark does not rely on the direct perception of the decision-maker to render a normative judgment. Indeed, he cannot, for it is a way of life that must be judged. Interestingly, we the readers can make precisely the sort of judgment Roark sought in the Stoddard trial because we have been able to perceive the competing way...
