About this product

Product Information

In the tumultuous late 60s and early 70s, a social movement known as the "New Left" emerged as a major cultural influence, especially on the youth of America. It was a movement that embraced "flower-power" and psychedelic "consciousness-expansion," that lionized Ho Chi Minh and Fidel Castro and launched the Black Panthers and the Theater of the Absurd.In Return Of The Primitive (originally published in 1971 as The New Left ), Ayn Rand , bestselling novelist and originator of the theory of Objectivism, identified the intellectual roots of this movement. She urged people to repudiate its mindless nihilism and to uphold, instead, a philosophy of reason, individualism, capitalism, and technological progress.Editor Peter Schwartz , in this new, expanded version of The New Left , has reorganized Rand's essays and added some of his own in order to underscore the continuing relevance of her analysis of that period. He examines such current ideologies as feminism, environmentalism and multiculturalism and argues that the same primitive, tribalist, "anti-industrial" mentality which animated the New Left a generation ago is shaping society today.

  • Interesting ideas, repeat of what she has already said

    I was disappointed that she repeated part of her books in this book. However, she did include explanations of what she was writing about. On one hand you did not have to read her books on the other hand if you had read her extremely long books it was sorta disappointing to find that she was spend 1/2 of this book repeating what she had already said.

  • Great Objectivist Essays

    Great essays that discuss issues such as environmentalism, education, individualism, and many other issues. Focuses of the problems faced by college students in the 1960's
