20世纪的西方哲学界,仅有两位女性被载入当代哲学史。一是萨特的密友、存在主义思潮的先锋波伏瓦;一是客观主义伦理学的倡导者爱因·兰德。她所作的关于新知识分子——经济人伦理模式的演讲,在1960年代的美国曾成为新一代反传统的道德宣言,并掀起了一场震撼西方社会的伦理思想启蒙运动。 In the 20th century, Western philosophy, only two women were included in the history of contemporary philosophy. First, a close friend of Sartre, Beauvoir, the vanguard of existentialism; and Ain Rand, the advocate of objectivist ethics. Her speech on the new intellectual-economic man ethical model was made by the United States in the 1960s as a new generation of anti-traditional moral declarations and an enlightenment of ethics that shocked Western society.
