Where Ideas Are Brought Down to Earth!

Writings based on Objectivism, the philosophy of Ayn Rand

Ayn Rand's most popular novels are Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead which present her philosophy, Objectivism, in vivid characterizations. Metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, esthetics, and  politics are the five main branches of philosophy that she identifies. Utilizing her methodology, one can be rational about all aspects of life. These essays present my understanding of Objectivism.

Atlas is Shrugging and He May be Canadian
Thomas M. Miovas, Jr.

There is a two part article written by Diane Alden that speaks about 
western Canadian's getting fed up with the high taxes and eastern control 
imposed by the federal government of Canada.

Part I begins by talking about the rift between those Americans who want 
the US Constitution to be upheld re-affirming the original intent of 
individual rights, versus those who want to impose greater and greater 
collectivism and international chains on the country; and part two makes 
the tie-in with the separatism movement evidently going on in western 
Canada. I don't know anything else about this movement, but it is 
interesting to note that Diane used a reference in the title to Atlas 
Shrugged without the need to say anything about that novel in the text of 
her articles.
