Does anyone know how, and why Ayn Rand’s philosophy came to be known as “Objectivism?”
Rand initially resisted naming her philosphy but was pressed too come up with a name. Another factor was that people started calling it Randism or refered to people as Randists. She hated that and thought such a name missed the entire point of her philosophy so she named it Objectivism because she beleived in Objective reality.
