Details About Author:

Ayn Rand, the influential novelist and philosopher, held a distinctive view on biography. She believed that a person’s life should be their ultimate work of art, emphasizing individualism and self-determination. Rand’s Objectivist philosophy celebrated rational self-interest and rejected altruism, shaping her perspective on biographies. In her view, biographies should highlight the pursuit of one’s rational values, accomplishments, and the rejection of collectivism. She sought to inspire others to live purposefully, unapologetically pursuing their goals, a sentiment reflected in her novels like “Atlas Shrugged” and “The Fountainhead.” Rand’s stance on biography thus underscores her commitment to individualism and the celebration of human potential.
