- W3132044415 abstract "Christianity and Objectivism provide the two pr imary philosophies up holding r eason in the U nited States to day. Although Ayn Rand was an atheist, Christianity and Objectivism are very similar in most respects. No foundational elements of her philosophy depend on holding an atheistic belief ( Toner 2007). Rand (1943a) herself 1 claimed that “my statement of man’s proper morality does not contradict any religious belief, if that belief includes faith in man’s free will” (2). In h er lifetime, Rand produced an i mpressive body of 2 work. At the same time, that work was not complete and needs to be improved because science and philosophy have continued to develop since her death in 1982. This paper will demonstrate how s imilar Christianity and Objectivism are as systems of thought. Unfortunately, at first blush, most people who know something about Christianity and/or Objectivism will find there is a chasm between the two. Rand (1968) certainly fostered th e gap by making co ndemning statem ents ab out religion generally. Christians are not likely to s ee common ground with Rand’s work because of her ardent atheism, her condemnation of altruism, and her glorification of selfishness. However, as these are the two primary philosophies i n Western so ciety upholding an objective r eality, Christians can learn from the work o f Objectivists and Objectivists can learn from the work of Christians. We will see in this article that “[t]he truth or falsehood of all of man’s conclusions, inferences, thought and knowledge rests on the truth or falsehood of his definitions” (Rand 1990a, 4 9). Where t here seem to be b road gulfs between Christianity and Objectivism, they can often be easily crossed by examining ho w terms ar e defined. Christianity and Objectivism also share the fact that both are widely misunderstood (Parnell and Dent 2009). Followers of each should especially appreciate a specific" @default.
