走進安·蘭德的精神世界

安·蘭德，20世紀(jì)著名的哲學(xué)家、小說家和公共知識分子。她的哲學(xué)理論和小說開創(chuàng)了客觀主義哲學(xué)運動，她同時也寫下了《The Fountainhead》、《Atlas Shrugged》等數(shù)本暢銷的小說。

安·蘭德的哲學(xué)觀受到亞里士多德、約翰·洛克的極大影響，她的哲學(xué)是屬于啟蒙時代以及理性時代的哲學(xué)。

她的小說所要表達的目標(biāo)是要展示她理想中的英雄：一個因為其能力和獨立性格而與社會產(chǎn)生沖突的人，但卻依然奮斗不懈朝她的理想邁進。

往屆賽題參考

Anthem

比賽題目（任選其一）

1、Ayn Rand once said that chapters XI and XII of?Anthem?contain the real anthem of the story. Consider several different definitions of the word “anthem” and then explain why you think Ayn Rand called the book “Anthem.” In what sense do you think chapters XI and XII (or the book as a whole) is an anthem? How does the book’s title relate to the themes and message of the story? Explain your answer.

2、For the following statement from?Anthem, explain its role in the story, its relation to the themes and message of the story, and its relevance to your own life: “Indeed you are happy,” they answered. “How else can men be when they live for their brothers?”

3、Equality 7-2521 has committed some of the worst crimes there are in his society. If those crimes are discovered, he faces the risk of terrible punishment. Yet in the face of this danger, and despite how much Equality has suffered at the hands of his society, he resolves to bring his invention (and admit his crimes) to the World Council of Scholars. What motivates him to come forward? What does he hope to achieve? If you were Equality’s friend (like International 4-8818) or the person who loves him (like Liberty 5-3000), what would you want him to do, and why? What do you think would be right for him to do, and why?

The Fountainhead

比賽題目（任選其一）

1、Mallory says the following about Roark: “You know how people long to be eternal. But they die with every day that passes. . . . They change, they deny, they contradict—and they call it growth. . . . How do they expect a permanence which they have never held for a single moment? But Howard—one can imagine him existing forever.” Give examples of characters in the novel who change in the way Mallory suggests. In what respects is Roark unchanging through the book? Are there any respects in which his character develops? How do these issues of characterization relate to the theme of the novel?

2、Toohey tells Keating the following: “I’m the most selfless man you’ve ever known. I have less independence than you, whom I just forced to sell your soul.” Drawing on Toohey’s own explanation and on his actions in the story, explain your understanding of what Toohey means by this. Does the author agree with Toohey’s assessment of his own motivation? Do you? Explain your answers.

3、In?The Fountainhead, we can see how Roark is guided by his own creative vision, whether in the way he develops his skills as an architect, in the terms on which he’ll work for employers, or in the standards he uses for accepting or rejecting new clients. Judging from examples of these aspects of his decisions and actions, do you think he would be a supporter or opponent of free-market capitalism? Explain your answer, being sure to define relevant terms.
