Randian hero
The Randian hero is a ubiquitous figure in the fiction of 20th-century novelist and philosopher Ayn Rand, most famously in the figures of ''The Fountainhead''s Howard Roark and ''Atlas Shrugged''s John Galt. Rand's self-declared purpose in writing fiction was to project an "ideal man"—a man who perseveres to achieve his values, even when his ability and independence leads to conflict with others.〔
== Philosophical foundation ==
As a conception of the ideal man, the Randian hero has much in common with Aristotle's conception of ''agathos'', in that both are morally heroic and heroically rational.〔 The philosophers share a similar naturalist/objectivist meta-ethical perspective emphasizing character as the primary determinant of moral worth, and possess a fundamentally ''heroic'' attitude towards life.〔 The Randian hero exemplifies ethical egoism, the normative ethical position that the self-interest of the individual ought to be the basis for moral action.〔 The specific virtues of the Randian hero, like the Aristotelian ideal, are created from rationality, the primary virtue; rationality is the hero's basic tool of survival, to be exercised at all times. The primary value, the "highest moral purpose", is happiness (cf. ''eudaimonia'').〔 Rand frequently declared her motive and purpose in writing to be "the projection of an ideal man"; all of her protagonists are heroes.
