Objectivism: Ayn Rand is quoted as saying her only influence is Aristotle. Please read the clip and and tell me who else in dialectical form you can find. Objectivism, is also interesting as a concept if one views the many video clips on Ayn Rand in interview, her view of the world is far from objective. Take for instance her racist statements about Arabs. The philosophy of self interest is positioned it seems.

any facts of reality—or is it based on a <EM>metaphysical</EM> fact, on an unalterable condition of man’s existence? (I use the word 
“metaphysical” to mean: that which pertains to reality, to the nature of things, to existence.) Does an arbitrary human 
convention, a mere custom, decree that man must guide his actions by a set of principles—or is there a fact of reality that
