Objectivist philosophy

Objectivist philosophy, founded by Ayn Rand, advocates for rational self-interest as a moral principle. It emphasizes the importance of reason, individualism, and capitalism. Objectivists believe that individuals should pursue their own happiness and success, respecting others' rights to do the same. The philosophy rejects altruism as a moral duty and promotes the idea that reality exists independently of consciousness, and that knowledge is gained through reason and logic. In essence, Objectivism posits that the pursuit of one's own goals and values, achieved through rational means, leads to a fulfilling and productive life.
