Rand's philosophy of Objectivism

Objectivism, developed by Ayn Rand, is a philosophy that emphasizes rational self-interest, individual rights, and the pursuit of personal happiness. It advocates that reality exists independent of perception and that reason is the only reliable way to understand it. Objectivism holds that individuals should be free to pursue their own goals without undue interference, and that productive achievement is morally valuable. It promotes a laissez-faire capitalist economy and upholds the importance of objective truth, personal responsibility, and integrity. Overall, it encourages people to think independently and live according to their rational judgment.
