Well, that puts things into better perspective. I appreciate that well thought out response.
I explored her writings on my own taking them for what I could interpret. You can see how I would be mistaken with some of the things she has said.
Thanks again for the insight. That is the first time I have head her work explained like that.
I find that most critics of Ayn Rand simply misunderstood her.

Let's take this thread in the direction of tying all three philosophers together.
As you can see just from reading through the thread, Nietzsche has many interpreters. Each interpretation posted has a grain of truth to it. Each interpretation is somewhat open to debate.
This is not so with Ayn Rand, because she was rigorously specific with how she expressed her philosophy. Nietzsche spouted off aphorisms. Ayn Rand set up logically structured arguments from A to Z.
Perhaps if Nietzsche wrote more fiction - if he had his own Howard Roark and John Galt, on top of Zarasthustra - we would have a different picture of his views.
Sun-Tzu is the only one of the three whose actual existence is questioned, doubted and debated.
All three have had massive influence.
To be continued...
