%X For Ayn Rand, founder of the philosophy of objectivism, ¡°life¡± is the most valuable thing a person can have. In his view, human being has to think how to get knowledge for surviving his /her life. Thinking is possible with reason; that is, human being can survive in terms of his/her intellect. However, in order to have a good action and be successful via intellectual life, he/she has to focus on the following three rules: logic, goal, and self-respect. Logic becomes a means in the philosophy of objectivism who aims to provide human life with guidance. In the basis of Rand¡¯s philosophy, there is the notion of ¡°objective reality¡±. Objective reality exists independently from emotions and expectations of human being. This reality reveals itself regarding three axioms: existence, consciousness, identity. These a priori and self-evident axioms remind the three principles of classical logic: identity, contradiction, excluded middle (or third). Ayn Rand accepts logic as a means for revealing the absolute power of the philosophy of objectivism in terms of the above three principles
