I really liked how you put the quote. I thin...Flor,<br />I really liked how you put the quote. I think that there is so much to talk about in that quote, so that is what I will do.<br />I only agree with part of her quote. The other section I do not agree on is when she says that " one cannot present a picture of human existence without a philosophical framework". I think that you can, in fact, present an image of a human or a group of humans and their existence without being so deep and philosophical. For example, take a look at "Life Story" by Patricia Macnair. This is a book for 4 year olds, yet it still takes a look at the life cycle of humans and how they live their life. However, I completely agree with Ayn's second part, where she says " In order to define, explain and present my concept of man, I had to become a philosopher in the specific meaning of the term.” Although this may seem contradictory to my first statement, I think that she, personally, does have to be a philosopher to be a novelist. However, I do believe that in order to write novels like Ayn's, you need to be a philosopher, especially since she developed her own form of philosophy and has written her books around it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
