Reason in Ayn Rand's "The Fountainhead"

Fountainhead is a personal story, an ideal man 's view of Ainland. This is a story of a traditional objection he does not hide, a struggle against tradition, and parasites that he eventually beat their fears and desires after his greatness. This person, Howard Rock succeeded as he consistently considered himself and accepted rationality. Other people are dominated by the trends of tradition and public opinion, but Rock only follows his own logical judgment. That's why rock is independent and wonderful for those who live only in front of others in the ocean "Used Man".

The theme of Fountainhead of Ayn Rand, an individualist and collectivist of The Fountainhead, is "not politicalism, individualism and collectivism". In this comparison, the three protagonists are aristocracy, despicable and parasitic. Howard Roark is an architect who functions as a model of Rand's personality. Therefore, he sacrifices everything he has to maintain his status. Ellsworth Monkton Toohey is a charismatic genius. He uses the knowledge of humans and collectivists to operate and control the public and insist on every word.

Ayn Rand wrote The Fountainhead to teach passionate objectiveism philosophy, political freedom and belief in individual rights. To express her philosophy, Ianland created Howard Rock, a distinctive Ainland hero, and his fellow Peter Keating. Howard Roke is an innovative architect whose outstanding innovative design is refused by dogmatic and fear of change. But he did not give up on his belief, but he was devoted to his own judgment and honesty. On the other hand, Peter Keating is compliant, he abandons his integrity and others can dominate his life. Through this strong contrast between Roark and Keating and Roark's final victory, Ayn Rand clearly presented her objectiveist philosophy.

Ein Land is known as a novel of literary works by his philosophical thought. With her two best-selling novels, The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand represents a new philosophical idea that challenges the way people think about the basic problems of human life. However, Ian Land wrote a song before she wrote these two major works. Anthem was published in 1938, published by Fountainhead in 1943, and Atlas was shrugging for almost 20 years in 1957. I expressed in more detail with her two major bestsellers. In fact, Rand actually wrote Anthem as a way to get some sort of progress from the plan of The Fountainhead.
