| 2005 Summer Seminar |
—Marsha Enright, M.A.
Course Description:
According to current books on Ayn Rand, she, herself, thought she was no psychologist. The evidence, however, appears to be otherwise. Following in the footsteps of Nietzsche, Ayn Rand brilliantly analyzed the motives of many through the philosophical ideas they advocated. Looking at her fiction as well as non-fiction, we will review and analyze the implications she drew. We will also discuss why she might have thought she should steer away from psychology, as well as her general understanding of the subject. Bring the novels! We will be frequently be referring to the characters.
Marsha Familaro Enright, M.A. in Psychology, has been an educator and psychotherapist for many years. She was one of the co-founders of Chicago's New Intellectual Forum. Marsha co-founded Council Oak Montessori Elementary School in 1990 and after long service as executive director, is now the President of its board.
