Solipsism is NOT Objectivism
Posted by jmlesniewski 12 years, 5 months ago to Philosophy
I've linked to the Wikipedia page here, as I've seen solipsism likened to objectivism many times in recent discussions of the movie and the book.
To state it very simply, solipsism is primacy of consciousness. Objectivism starts from primacy of existence.
There are some good insights on this issue here: http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/primac...
