 The novel, as the most conceptual of art forms, holds the potential to integrate a vast range of intellectual content, physical action and thoughtful introspection, an individual protagonist and a host of secondary characters, plot and theme, reason and emotion, literary techniques and profound meaning. In Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand has actualized the full potential of the novel as a literary form.
This talk examines the specific means by which Ayn Rand synthesizes every conceivable literary element into a novel whose artistic integration is as complete as its grand-scale story (and philosophical scope) is vast.
Dr. Bernstein is a Visiting Professor of Philosophy at Marist College; he also teaches at SUNY Purchase (which selected him Outstanding Teacher for 2004) and formerly at Pace University, and Marymount College (which selected him Outstanding Teacher for 1995). Dr. Bernstein lectures regularly at American universities and appears frequently on the radio talk shows. His op-ed essays have been published in such newspapers as The San Francisco Chronicle, The Chicago Tribune, The Baltimore Sun, The Atlanta Constitution, The Washington Times, The Los Angeles Daily News, The Houston Chronicle and many others.
Andrew Bernstein is the author of The Capitalist Manifesto and the novel Heart of a Pagan.
