Fountainhead....

Ah.. the name really resembles a metaphor for lot of agitation that has gone through in presenting the novel. The novel really protray's how any idealistic individual is being alienated by the society and how originality is being suppressed to fathom recesses of times by the dogmatic and authoritative notions of present times. I'm really bewildered to find out if such a character really exists to totality in this world. Not everyone can show the placid temperament "roark in this context" has shown in his quest for being original. The kaleidoscope of different charactrers introduced and twirling around in the story really reminds me of the situations i faced sometimes.
Still have done with chapter 1 will be putting down some more intresting debates once i'm done with it. And to review the book i say it's excellent. It really touches philosophical tenets and artifacts that are formed in our quest to live..It really touches all the following concepts
* What is the fundamental nature of reality ? Is reality dependent on our minds, or independent of our minds ? (metaphysics)
* How can we acquire knowledge, and what is the nature of this knowledge ? (epistemology)
* How should we live ? (ethics)
* How should we assemble in society ? What institutions should we establish to live in society ? (politics)
* What forms of art should we seek ? (esthetics)
(The above points are taken from same authors "objectivism philosophy"
