If you're looking for Objectivism stuff, you've come to the right place!

Someday I'm going to have to write something about how I first got into Objectivism. When I was in college, I actually bought Atlas Shrugged, just because the title so tickled me. But I never got into it. It wasn't that I wasn't into deep thoughts at the time, but when I read novels, I expected mind-candy. Atlas Shrugged is nothing of the sort.

I was also of the opinion that Philosophy didn't qualify as a field of knowledge at all, and that it was appalling that you could actually major in the stuff. I haven't really changed my mind about that. It was just that every school of philosophy I'd ever run into was so patently childish and nonsensical on the fact of it that I didn't see any reason to look any farther.

Maybe you're like I was. Or maybe you've heard things about Objectivism or about Ayn Rand that bothered you, or have met Objectivists in the past who were incredibly obnoxious. In any case, take a look and see if you like what I have here. If you want something that won't insult your intelligence, you're in the right place

A brief explanation of what Objectivism is
The Benefits and Hazards of the Philosophy of Ayn Rand
This is an essay by Nathaniel Brandon, and I'm planning on asking permission to keep a copy on my web site. In the meantime, this is just a link to his site.

That's not a lot to look at, and the subject deserves a lot more. I'm planning on expanding it in the future, though. If you have any questions about it, or feedback, you're welcome to write to me at lisabeth@bigfoot.com.

Good Premises,
Lisa
