Objectivism is a system of philosophy created by philosopher and novelist Ayn Rand ( 1905 – 1982 ) that holds: reality exists independent of consciousness ; human beings gain knowledge rationally from perception through the process of concept formation and inductive and deductive logic ; the moral purpose of one's life is the pursuit of one's own happiness or rational self-interest.

Rand thinks the only social system consistent with this morality is full respect for individual rights, embodied in pure laissez faire capitalism ; and the role of art in human life is to transform man's widest metaphysical ideas, by selective reproduction of reality, into a physical form — a work of art — that he can comprehend and to which he can respond emotionally.

" According to Rand, it is entities that act, and every action is the action of an entity.

Rand consequently rejected epistemological skepticism, as she holds that the skeptics ' claim to knowledge " undistorted " by the form or the means of perception is impossible.

" Says Rand, " The attack on man's consciousness and particularly on his conceptual faculty has rested on the unchallenged premise that any knowledge acquired by a process of consciousness is necessarily subjective and cannot correspond to the facts of reality, since it is " processed knowledge ... all knowledge is processed knowledge — whether on the sensory, perceptual or conceptual level.
