Randian ethics

Randian ethics, based on the philosophy of Ayn Rand, emphasizes rational self-interest and individualism. It asserts that individuals should pursue their own happiness and well-being as a moral purpose and that altruism is not a virtue but a hindrance to human flourishing. According to Rand, actions should be guided by reason and personal values, and each person has the right to seek their own goals without sacrificing themselves to others or demanding sacrifice from others. The ethical framework advocates for free will, personal responsibility, and the pursuit of one’s own rational interests as essential to a meaningful life.
