Ayn Rand’s Challenge to Altruism
Ayn Rand’s novel, Atlas Shrugged, faced criticism for challenging various institutions and beliefs, particularly the moral code of altruism. In her work, Rand acknowledges that she is intentionally challenging the moral code of altruism and any institutions that are built upon it. She argues that altruism, which demands self-sacrifice and the subordination of individual needs and desires to others, is fundamentally flawed and morally bankrupt.
Rand asserts that the pursuit of one’s rational self-interest should be the guiding principle for individuals. She celebrates the pursuit of personal happiness, emphasizing the importance of reason, individualism, and the productive achievement of one’s values. Rand’s philosophy, known as Objectivism, champions individual rights, reason, and laissez-faire capitalism, asserting that these ideals lead to individual flourishing and societal progress.

Ayn Rand’s interview with Mike Wallace has captivated millions of viewers, testifying to the enduring relevance of her ideas. Her critique of the moral code of altruism challenges commonly accepted beliefs and institutions.
