Questioning Ayn Rand: Subjectivity, Political Economy, and the Arts
offers a sustained academic critique of Ayn Rand's works and her
wider Objectivist philosophy. While Rand's texts are often
dismissed out of hand by those hostile to the ideology promoted
within them, these essays argue instead that they need to be taken
seriously and analysed in detail. Rand's influential worldview does
not tolerate uncertainty, relying as it does upon a notion of truth
untroubled by doubt. In contrast, the contributors to this volume
argue that any progressive response to Rand should resist the
dubious comforts of a position of ethical or aesthetic purity, even
as they challenge the reductive individualistic ideology promoted
within her writing. Drawing on a range of sources and approaches
from Psychoanalysis to The Gold Standard and from Hannah Arendt to
Spiderman, these essays consider Rand's works in the context of
wider political, economic, and philosophical debates.
