Why does /lit/ shit on Rand but worship Nietzsche? They're pretty much the same thing.

They aren't, Rand got "late to the party," anon. Unfortunately.

>> No.17315701

/lit/ doesn't even acknowledge when a woman is a good writer (like Virginia Woolf, for example), they'd never admit a woman is a good philosopher.

>> No.17315702

Rand believes in absolute, external morals that can be deduced rationally.

Need I tell you how this isn't compatible with Nietzsche?

>> No.17315707

>>17315688
Nietzsche did a bunch of other cool stuff beyond their similarities. And people shit on Nietzsche all the time, I unironically don't know what you are talking about.

>> No.17315712

>>17315701
There are many examples, too many to count of excellent female writers, /lit/ will never change because it's not 'based.'

She was a successful philosopher, anon. But not that great, that is why Existentialism is a thing in a History of Philosophy course and Objectivism isn't. There is nothing new on her stuff. She did a great job a bringing Philosophy to non-academics, and she definitely deserves recognition because of it.

>> No.17315732

>>17315701
I unironically would rather be introduced to Philosophy by her book than Plato. That is it, just said it. KEK

>> No.17315741

Would I probably be an annoying rascal for some years? Definitely, but I would probably have a lot of fun messing with it too. And the 'turns' you can take from her stuff are kinda cool.

AYN RAND WAS A SUPERRATIONALISTIC PERSONALIST; FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE WAS AN IRRATIONALISTIC ANIMIST —IF YOU THINK THAT THEY ARE MUTUALLY SIMILAR, OR PHILOSOPHICALLY AKIN, YOU COMPREHEND NEITHER.

Superrationalist does not mean what you think it means. Just a heads up.

There are many good female philosophers that /lit/ shits on just because they're women, but she is like, the only one where it isn't because she's a woman. It's because she's shit.

Because Rand was poorly read and a cult leader.
