This
silenced
his
audience
.
"
The
philosophers
of
the
past
were
superficial
,
"
Dr
.
Pritchett
went
on
.
"
It
remained
for
our
century
to
redefine
the
purpose
of
philosophy
.
The
purpose
of
philosophy
is
not
to
help
men
find
the
meaning
of
life
,
but
to
prove
to
them
that
there
isn
’
t
any
.
"
An
attractive
young
woman
,
whose
father
owned
a
coal
mine
,
asked
indignantly
,
"
Who
can
tell
us
that
?
"
"
I
am
trying
to
,
"
said
Dr
.
Pritchett
.
For
the
last
three
years
,
he
had
been
head
of
the
Department
of
Philosophy
at
the
Patrick
Henry
University
.
Lillian
Rearden
approached
,
her
jewels
glittering
under
the
lights
.
The
expression
on
her
face
was
held
to
the
soft
hint
of
a
smile
,
set
and
faintly
suggested
,
like
the
waves
of
her
hair
.
"
It
is
this
insistence
of
man
upon
meaning
that
makes
him
so
difficult
,
"
said
Dr
.
Pritchett
.
"
Once
he
realizes
that
he
is
of
no
importance
whatever
in
the
vast
scheme
of
the
universe
,
that
no
possible
significance
can
be
attached
to
his
activities
,
that
it
does
not
matter
whether
he
lives
or
dies
,
he
will
become
much
more
.
.
.
tractable
.
"
He
shrugged
and
reached
for
another
canape
.
A
businessman
said
uneasily
,
"
What
I
asked
you
about
,
Professor
,
was
what
you
thought
about
the
Equalization
of
Opportunity
Bill
.
"
"
Oh
,
that
?
"
said
Dr
.
Pritchett
.
"
But
I
believe
I
made
it
clear
that
I
am
in
favor
of
it
,
because
I
am
in
favor
of
a
free
economy
.
A
free
economy
cannot
exist
without
competition
.
Therefore
,
men
must
be
forced
to
compete
.
Therefore
,
we
must
control
men
in
order
to
force
them
to
be
free
.
"
"
But
,
look
.
.
.
isn
’
t
that
sort
of
a
contradiction
?
