''Journals of Ayn Rand'' is a book derived from the private journals of novelist and philosopher Ayn Rand. Edited by David Harriman with the approval of Rand's estate, it was published in 1997, 15 years after her death. Some reviewers considered it an interesting source of information for readers with an interest in Rand, but several scholars criticized Harriman's editing as being too heavy-handed and insufficiently acknowledged in the published text. ==Background== When Rand died in 1982, her private papers were left to her student and heir Leonard Peikoff. Starting in 1983, Peikoff began authorizing the publication of excerpts from her journals and other unpublished writings. From 1983 to 1994, several such excerpts appeared in ''The Objectivist Forum''〔The excerpts published in ''The Objectivist Forum'' were: "Philosophic Journal" (August 1983) "Notes for Atlas Shrugged" (December 1983) "Notes for Atlas Shrugged" (April 1984) "Philosophic Notes" (August 1984) "Notes for The Fountainhead" (December 1984)〕 and ''The Intellectual Activist''.〔The excerpts published in ''The Intellectual Activist'' were: "From Ayn Rand's Notes for Atlas Shrugged" (January 1992) "Notes on Scene in Roark's Apartment" (January 1993) "Notes on the Thomas Committee" (November 1993) "'Memory-Storing' Epistemology" (January 1994) "Ayn Rand's Journals: Selections from The Moral Basis of Individualism" (November 1995) "From Ayn Rand's Journals: Notes on The Fountainhead" (January and March 1997)〕 David Harriman, a physicist and a speaker for the Ayn Rand Institute, edited Rand's journals for publication in book form. The hardcover edition of the fully edited ''Journals of Ayn Rand'' was published by Dutton in 1997. A paperback edition was published by Plume in 1999. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Journals of Ayn Rand」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
