Rand argues that the deprivation of values in culture can be even more subversive. Giving examples of what she sees as symptoms of decay in various facets of modern culture \u0026ndash; philosophy, politics, literature and arts \u0026ndash; Rand characterises the visual arts of her time as nothing but distortion (of human figure, space, colour, etc.). She also distinguishes a \u0026ldquo;Rorschach school of art\u0026rdquo;, or the nonrepresentational, comparing nonfigurative art with the abstract inkblots of the Rorschach psychological test. She concludes that modern culture is not only experiencing a lack of values, but makes a reasonable person \u0026ldquo;doubt the evidence of one\u0026rsquo;s senses and the sanity of one\u0026rsquo;s mind\u0026rdquo;. As a consequence, she argues, cultural value-deprivation in the arts leads to a rise in drug addiction and teen suicide.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003eAyn Rands lezing \u003cem\u003eOur Cultural Value-Deprivation\u003c/em\u003e (Onze culturele waarde-deprivatie) uit 1966 begint met een beschrijving van hoe recente psychologische experimenten de destructieve effecten van sensorische deprivatie hebben aangetoond. Rand stelt dat de verarming van waarden in de cultuur nog ontwrichtender kan werken. Ze geeft voorbeelden van wat zij ziet als symptomen van verval in verschillende domeinen van de moderne cultuur \u0026ndash; filosofie, politiek, literatuur en kunst \u0026ndash; en karakteriseert de beeldende kunst van haar tijd als niets anders dan vervorming (van menselijke figuur, ruimte of kleur). Ze onderscheidt ook een \u0026#39;Rorschach-kunstschool\u0026#39;: de niet-figuratieve kunst vergelijkt ze met de abstracte inktvlekken uit Rorschachs psychologische tests. Rand concludeert dat het in de moderne cultuur niet alleen aan waarden ontbreekt, maar dat ze een redelijk persoon ook doet \u0026ldquo;twijfelen aan de objectiviteit van zijn zintuigen en aan de gezondheid van zijn geest.\u0026rdquo; \u0026#39;Culturele waarde-deprivatie\u0026#39; in de kunsten leidt volgens haar dan ook tot een toename van drugsverslaving en tiener-zelfmoorden.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"actors":[]}
