ობიექტივიზმი
ფილოსოფიური მოძღვრება, რომელსაც სათავე ქ-ნმა აინ რანდმა დაუდო და რომელიც მეტაფიზიკის, ეპისტომოლოგიის, ადამიანის ბუნების, ეთიკის, პოლიტიკისა და ესთეტიკის საკითხებს თავისებურ გააზრებას გვთავაზობს.
ამ მოძღვრების მიხედვით რეალობა გონების დამოუკიდებლად არსებობს. ადამიანები რეალობასთან გრძნობითი ორგანოებით ურთიერთობენ და მის შესახებ ობიექტურ ცოდნას აღქმულის მიხედვით აყალიბებენ.
როდესაც ქ-ნ რანდს სთხოვეს, რომ ორიოდე სიტყვით ჩამოეყალიბებინა ობიექტივიზმის ფილოსოფია, მან ის შემდეგნაირად განსაზღვრა:
1. მეტაფიზიკა: ობიექტური რეალობა;
2. ეპისტომოლოგია: გონება;
3. ეთიკა: პირადი ინტერესი;
4. პოლიტიკა: კაპიტალიზმი.
მისივე სიტყვებით, ეს ყოველივე უბრალო ენაზე შემდეგს ნიშნავს:
1. ბუნება რომ მართო, უნდა დაემორჩილო;
2. შენ შეგიძლია მიირთვა შენი ორცხობილა და ფლობდე მას;
3. ადამიანი თავისთავად მიზანია;
4. თავისუფლება ან სიკვდილი.

Objectivism
Objectivism is a multi-faceted philosophy. The premise essentially revolves around looking out for yourself. It maintains that if it is done properly, and practiced by everyone, the entire world could be a better place. Objectivism endorses several different ideals. The essentials are: reality, reason, self-interest, and capitalism. Lets take a look.

Reality

Youve heard the expression mind over matter before. Basically, if you think positively, positive things will come your way - at least theyre more likely to, anyway. Rand states that, No amount of passionate wishing, desperate longing, or hopeful pleading can alter the facts... Reality is not to be rewritten or escaped, but, solemnly and proudly, faced.
This theory rejects supernatural or mystical powers, including the existence of God. Objectivism attributes all of lifes occurrences to reality, and that is not something that can be changed, only endured.

Reason
Rands theories regarding reason intertwine with the intellect. Objectivism requires people to activate their minds, understand all the facts of the current situation, and perform the required next steps. Rand argues, To follow reason is to reject emotions, faith, or any form of authoritarianism as guides in life. She considers emotion to be unstable.
 just because we block something out of our minds, does not make it go away. This is merely an escape from the responsibility. Rather, we must face what is with strength and dignity.

Self-Interest
Ayn Rand focused all her writings on one basic tenet: be selfish. Selfishness has a negative connotation, however. Feelings of thoughtlessness and greed spring to mind. Rand, however, states that such negative acts are not in your self-interest. According to aynrand.org, to be selfish means:

Follow reason, not whims or faith.
Work hard to achieve a life of purpose and productiveness.
Earn genuine self-esteem.
Pursue your own happiness as your highest moral aim.
Prosper by treating others as individuals, trading value for value.

humans are not born with an inherent sense of good vs. evil. She teaches her followers that, Man must choose his actions, values, and goals by the standard of that which is proper to man - in order to achieve, maintain, fulfill, and enjoy that ultimate value, that end in itself, which is his own life.

Capitalism

A social system that places priority on individual freedom, such as a laissez-faire capitalist society, is the only one supported by objectivism. A society free from government control lines up with objectivisms philosophy.
 An individual who eagerly faces reality, who embraces his own rational mind as an absolute, and who makes his own life his highest moral purpose will demand his freedom. He will demand the freedom to think and speak, to earn property and associate trade, and to pursue his own happiness.
