Abstract
En los últimos tres cuartos de siglo, la escritora y filósofa ruso-americana Ayn Rand (1905-1982) ha moldeado decisivamente la mentalidad norteamericana, dejando una huella indeleble en la literatura, la cultura política, la actitud filosófica y la conciencia identitaria de los estadounidenses. Su sistema de pensamiento, el objetivismo, que aspira a la plenitud en la explicación del mundo, del conocimiento, del hombre, del bien, de la justicia y aun de la belleza, se presenta sumamente genuino e interesante. El desconocimiento de la obra de Ayn Rand en el mundo hispano, tan nítidamente reflejado en el pobre estado de nuestro acervo académico en relación con ella, no sólo justifica, sino demanda con urgencia una investigación ambiciosa en este sentido.
El presente trabajo se propone analizar íntegramente el objetivismo como filosofía sistemática, prestando especial atención a su vertiente política y jurídica. A tal efecto se profundiza exhaustivamente en los autores que ejercen influencia filosófica significativa sobre Ayn Rand, y se determina en cada caso la entidad del impacto. Se explora igualmente la interrelación entre el cuerpo teórico objetivista, la persona de Rand y sus circunstancias históricas, políticas, sociales y culturales. Con todo ello se pone de relieve la efectiva relevancia del objetivismo como filosofía y se prepara el terreno a la satisfacción de un objetivo último: su sometimiento a crítica...
Over the past three quarters of a century, the Russian-American writer and philosopher Ayn Rand (1905-1982) has decisively shaped the American psyche. She has left an indelible imprint on American literature and on the political culture, the philosophical attitude, and the national identity of the American people. Rand’s system, Objectivism, which aims for a full explanation of world, knowledge, man, good, justice, and even beauty, appears highly genuine and interesting. The lack of acquaintance with Rand’s works among Spanish speakers, as illustrated by the scant attention that she has received from Spanish-speaking scholars, not only justifies research in this field, but actually demands it. This work aims to extensively analyze Objectivism as a systematic philosophy, devoting particular attention to its political and legal-philosophical aspects. To that effect it shall delve exhaustively into those authors who exerted significant philosophical influence on Ayn Rand. It further shall endeavor to determine the extent of such influence. The interface between the Objectivist theoretical body, Rand’s life and personality, and her historical, political, social, and cultural circumstances, is also to be examined. The actual relevance of Objectivism as a philosophy shall thereby be emphasized. The achievement of the preceding objectives shall pave the way for a critical assessment of Objectivism...
