objectivism¹
- /əbˈd͡ʒɛk.tɪ.vɪ.zəm/
noun objectivisms
- The state of being objective; objectivity.
- Moral objectivism.
- Any of several doctrines that holds that all of reality is objective and exists outside of the mind. Objectivism and subjectivism need each other to exist. Each defines itself in opposition to the other and sees the other as the enemy. Objectivism takes as its allies scientific truth, rationality, precision, fairness, and impartiality.
- The specific objectivist philosophy created by novelist and philosopher Ayn Rand, endorsing logical reasoning and self-interest. First of all, I do not call it Randism; and I don’t like that name. I call it Objectivism, meaning a philosophy based on objective reality. Now let me explain it as briefly as I can.
