It is time that men of thought, true humanitarians due to their concern with the “human” element of the matter, embrace the values that Western Culture and the great men who had founded it have to offer, not for some “magnanimous” crusade which is above themselves in importance, but for themselves, for the self-evident benefits that the reinforcement of technology, rationality, and individual rights will have for every individual living on Earth. One of the key accomplishments of Western philosophy, attributable to a sage by the name of John Locke, was the conception that the interests of single persons and those of society are not mutually exclusive. Society as a concept denotes merely the individuals comprising it and the mechanisms utilized to preserve said individuals’ abilities to exist autonomously.

This, then, is the core purpose of “The Rational Argumentator”, a publication devoted to championing the values which made the West great, reason, rights, and progress. We are not bound by “politically correct” limitations and promise to reveal the truth whenever we can detect it and irrespective of whatever masks and veils have been accepted as “immutable principles of conduct” by the paradigm to conceal reality. Ayn Rand, one of the prime role models for the men of The Rational Argumentator and a philosopher whose works provide a valuable enhancement of our intellectual arsenal, had made it her explicit purpose to elucidate reality, to reveal to people the genuine conditions surrounding their lives as derived from her reasoning mind. As we live in this world and no other, reality is the most powerful weapon a righteous man can have behind him if his goal is to flourish within it. To assist in that pursuit, we shall devote ourselves to defense of an objective metaphysics and the identification of its particular concepts.
