- 12235: Objectism
- Objectivism Objectivism can be broken into 5 main categories. They are Metaphysics, Epistemology, Ethics, Politics, and Aesthetics. Each of these makes up Ayn Rand’s philosophy, which is called objectivism. Metaphysics is the belief that everything one knows they know only because they believe it to be true.

He even tried to rape Miranda once, but was stopped by Prospero in the process. In fact, it might even be safe to say ... anti-Ariel, being slow, stupid, and lazy. Gonzalo and Ferdinand were also contrasted in this act.
