With a specific look at Rand's philosophy of Objectivism, they examined why her writings gained currency in the time period and what influence they have had since. They responded to audience telephone calls, faxes and electronic mail. Mr. Britting produced the film, [Ayn Rand: A Sense of Life.] Hollywood in the 30s and 40s played a vital role in the life of Ayn Rand and the dissemination of her ideas, both through her writings in [The Fountainhead], which came out in 1943, and the movie which hit the screen in 1949. Her two novels, [The Fountainhead] (1943), and [Atlas Shrugged], laid out her ideals of the supremacy of individual reason and rights over collective thought, which later became known as her philosophy of Objectivism. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/169959-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/169959-1 Sun, 12 May 2002 00:00:00 GMT Panelists discussed the impact of Ayn Rand's objectivist philosophy and the prospects for its continued influence.
