这是Ayn Rand对我们这个时代盛行的哲学学说及其制造的“内疚、恐慌、绝望、无聊和无处不在的逃避氛围”发起的挑战。作为知识界最具争议的人物之一，Ayn Rand倡导一种道德哲学——一种理性利己主义伦理——与利他主义和自我牺牲的伦理形成鲜明对立。这种道德体系的基础——“一种在地球上生存的哲学”——在《For the New Intellectual》中由新阶层的代言人慷慨激昂地阐述出来。

读一读安·兰德（Ayn Rand）文集《For The New Intellectual》中的同名长文，了解西方思想的历史和现状。
Read Ayn Rand's title essay in her anthology "For The New Intellectual" for the history and current state of Western thought.
……关于这些问题的哲学课程，但你需要了解历史，去读读安·兰德的《Philosophy: Who Needs It》、《Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology》，以及她文集里的同名长文《For The New Intellectual》。
…philosophy courses in regard to these issues but you need to understand the history and read Ayn Rand's Philosophy:Who_Needs_It, Introduction_To_Objectivist_Epistemology and the title essay of her anthology For_The_New_Intellectual.
……无休止地讨论理性和逻辑的有效性，这最终归结为定义一种有效的概念（或抽象）理论。关于这段历史最好的概述就是兰德的书《For The New Intellectual》的序言。>通过抽象一个系统，我们可以处理本质的关系和特征，而不会陷入细节之中，超出我们的工作记忆容量。你这思路是对的……
…endlessly discussed the validity of reason and logic which ultimately reduces to defining a valid theory of concepts (or abstractions). The best overview of this history is the introduction to Rand's book "For The New Intellectual". >By abstracting a system we can work with the essential relationships and features without getting caught up in details and exceeding our working memory capacity. You are on the right track here.…
我是楼主。真巧，我说的恰恰就是安·兰德，除了《For the New Intellectual》，她的书我都读遍了（等我想读这本的时候，谢天谢地，我脑子已经清醒过来了）。我甚至读了纳撒尼尔·布兰登（Nathaniel Branden）的大部分书。求求各位，千万别试。安·兰德确实有一些很棒的想法，但它们对人性做出了某种假设……
OP here. What a coincidence, it's precisely Ayn Rand I'm talking about, and I've read every book of hers except For the New Intellectual (by the time I got around to it, I had thankfully recovered). I even read most of Nathaniel Brandon. Please, don't try this. Ayn Rand has some great ideas, but they make certain assumptions about human…
……自卫权。这样的政府以如下社会行为准则取代了道德：你可以对邻居为所欲为，只要你的团伙比他的大。”——摘自《For the New Intellectual》https://www.amazon.com/New-Intellectual-Philosophy-Anniversa...
…right of self-defense. Such a government substitutes for morality the following rule of social conduct: you may do whatever you please to your neighbor, provided your gang is bigger than his." - from "For the New Intellectual" https://www.amazon.com/New-Intellectual-Philosophy-Anniversa...
> 请提供出处。见上文。我那些能查到出处的书早就没了；但这话出自她的一篇短文（如果非要我猜，我猜可能在《For the New Intellectual》里……但我可不敢打包票）。> 你喜欢哪种定义？来自维基百科：“不同哲学家对理性的本质有着不同的看法，而且关于……也存在分歧
> Please provide a reference. See above. The books in which I could have located a reference are long gone; but it's in one of her short essays (if pushed, I'd suggest that it might be found in For the New Intellectual... but wouldn't want to be held to that). > What definition do you like? From wikipedia: "Different philosophers have had varied ideas about the nature of reason, and there is also disagreement…
