NTOS Discussion Group re Questions on Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead

WHAT: A discussion group in which we work to answer each other’s questions about the plot, themes, and meaning of The Fountainhead.

We will avoid discussing politics in order (1) to avoid contention and (2) to get ourselves to probe the fundamentals of Objectivism. We can discuss what Rand has to say about healthy versus unhealthy personal relationships, or what she has to say about judging people, but we will do our best to avoid discussing the role of government.

WHY: To help one another better understand Objectivism, and to enjoy the company of people interested in Objectivism.

HOW: Submit questions in the comments below. Questions can be submitted indefinitely (including while at the meet up), but we encourage early submission, so that fellow attendees have an opportunity to find material in Rand’s other writing (if they would like to) in order to support their interpretations of the book we are discussing.

If we have a large enough turn out, we will split into smaller groups.

WHO: Anyone is welcome. As discussed above, the only restriction would be to avoid discussing the role of government.

MODERATOR: Kevin D.

My First Question:

Is what occurred in Roark and Domonique’s first meeting supposed to be an instance of “love at first sight”? Whether it is or isn’t, should their reactions to one another be judged as rational?
