Description

Ayn Rand praised the Romantic school of art and considered her own novels to be works of Romantic literature. She also articulated a new account of Romanticism as “a category of art based on the recognition of the principle that man possesses the faculty of volition.” In this episode of New Ideal, Sam Weaver interviews philosopher and ARI board member Harry Binswanger and Virginia Tech associate professor of English Shoshana Milgram about the Romantic movement in art and Rand’s relationship to it.
