“This fine short novel is an excellent introduction to her passionate political philosophy and her emotional polemical style.” - Brothers Judd “ Anthem is essentially the future that awaits the world of Atlas Shrugged if its protagonists fail in their struggle - and, Rand suggests, it is the future that awaits all of us if the sacred value of individuality is rejected or suppressed.” - Laissez Faire Source: Ayn Rand Institute, Who Is Ayn Rand? – Novelist, Philosopher, Icon ( Youtube) Other reviews of Anthem Ultimately she became best known for her two best-selling novels, The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged and for developing a philosophical system she called Objectivism. Rand wrote Anthem in 1938, very early in her career. “Centuries of chains and lashes will not kill the spirit of man nor the sense of truth within him.” ― Ayn Rand, Anthem Ayn Rand, About the AuthorĪyn Rand, born Alisa Zinov’yevna Rosenbaum (1905 – 1982), was a Russian-American novelist, philosopher, playwright, and screenwriter.

The simple and valuable message of Anthem is that the care for others must be carefully balanced with care for oneself. “Of course, Archlord,” Morigan said respectfully, inclining her head before hurrying out. I want the proof to be clear when the Blessed Order comes sniffing.” “You may send someone to heal Stievin, but they’re not allowed to remove him from the wall. In Nuthaan, the consequences of such an act were brutally and decisively permanent. It was beyond dishonorable to rape, or harm an unarmed woman (armed was an entirely different matter). Nuthaanian males held their women in high regard. Nuthaanians, for all their fierce, violent ways had strict laws about such things. He’s a Nuthaanian after all,” she huffed, looking as though she wouldn’t mind doing the deed herself. “Well, he’ll castrate him at the very least. “If he kills Stievin, then a part of Isiilde will die too.” “No, he won’t.” Morigan blinked with surprise at his matter-of-factness. “Oenghus will kill Stievin,” she grunted. With few exceptions, so they argued, those who accessed this existence spent their life in a state of discreet withdrawal, seldom leaving a lasting impression on those who shared their fate or drawing much notice from those living beyond the cloister walls. Many believed that the purpose of female convent life had been only to provide an environment where veiled women would be shielded from the secular world and where their agency could be entirely directed toward intercessory prayer service and commemoration of the dead. Until deep into the 20th century, the prevailing view among historians was that the role of nuns and abbesses in driving forward the development of monastic ideology and institutions had been negligible. Although a substantial number of religious communities in the medieval West consisted partially or entirely of cloistered women, in traditional surveys of monastic history these individuals and their leadership received but scant attention. The Western mind must be willing to open itself to a reality the nature of Which could shatter its most established beliefs about itself.

How we approach "the other," and how we approach each other, will shape everything, including out own evolving self and the cosmos in which we participate. All about The Passion of the Western Mind: Understanding the Ideas that Have Shaped Our World View by Richard Tarnas. Our world view and cosmology, which defines the context for everything else, is profoundly affected by the degree to which all out faculties–intellectual, imaginative, aesthetic, moral, emotional, somatic, spiritual, relational–enter the process of knowing. Perhaps we must go not only high and far but down and deep. For the whole being, body and soul, mind and spirit, is implicated. But to understand life and the cosmos better, perhaps we are required to transform not only our minds but our hearts. The Passion of the Western Mind - Understanding the Ideas that Shape Our World ViewRichard Tarnas This book presents a concise narrative history of the Western world view from the ancient Greek to the postmodern. “Humanity's "progress of knowledge" and the "evolution of consciousness" have too often been characterized as if our task were simply to ascend a very tall cognitive ladder with graded hierarchical steps that represent successive developmental stages in which we solve increasingly challenging mental riddles, like advanced problems in a graduate exam in biochemistry or logic. Rather, it is a personal intellectual history, supplemented by stories, anecdotes and occasional reposts to past combatants. And I would question whether this is a book that outlines the making of behavioural economics. Thaler, arguably the world’s leading behavioural economist and one of its early pioneers, perhaps feels as though his career has been a 40-year odyssey of misbehaving in relation to the mainstream economics community, but given that he has devoted himself to the study of how people actually make, rather than ought to make, decisions, one could make a case for deleting ‘Mis’ from the front of the title. I begin this review of Richard Thaler’s new book with a gripe, or rather a double gripe, about its title. Misbehaving: The Making of Behavioural Economics. This review originally appeared on LSE Review of Books. Reviewer Adam Oliver finds that Richard Thaler’s new book, Misbehaving: The Making of Behavioural Economics, covers the core concepts of behavioural economics, but finds that this book is more a ‘personal intellectual history, supplemented by stories, anecdotes and occasional reposts to past combatants’ that misses two important issues relating to suggestions for the future development of behavioural economics. Barbara Kingsolver has definitely appealed to my two great interests – thirst for reading and love for predators. Kingsolver’s impeccable knowledge of the biological behavior of organisms added considerable value to her words and transformed the novel from a mere story that is fascinating to readers to a valuable message delivered heart to heart. The novel took me back to my days spent enjoying the safari in Tanzania, free from the norms of the civilized world and spending time attuned to the rhythm of nature. This is my debut into the beautiful world written by Kingsolver and I really enjoyed my short trip to the wild Appalachia painted in detail by the author’s love for anything living. Anyone who has a small space reserved in their hearts for the indelible beauty of nature cannot stop themselves from loving this novel.
