The “New Intellectual”

by Ayn Rand | May 15, 1961

In this interview, which took place upon publication of For the New Intellectual, Ayn Rand discusses: the nature of cultural leadership; the influence of Plato, Aquinas and Kant; the creeping mysticism infecting science; and the lengthy process by which individuals become the “new intellectuals” of tomorrow. (Recorded May 15, 1961.)
