Abstract

Ovo istraživanje poduzeto je s ciljem i svrhom pojašnjavanja odnosa između ideologije
neoliberalizma i filozofije objektivizma u pogledu koncepcije koju svaki od svjetonazora ima
o ideji širenja znanja. Istraživanje se, stoga, sastoji od usporedbe ideologije neoliberalizma s
filozofijom objektivizma po pitanju metoda širenja znanja. Analiza se odvija kroz prvotnu
analizu neoliberalizma kao sustava vrijednosti, potom istovrsnu analizu objektivizma i
njegove osnivateljice, Ayn Rand i, konačno, kroz usporedbu spomenute ideologije i filozofije
na osnovi njihovih pristupa formalnom obrazovanju, ulogama intelektualaca i masovnim
medijima. Kroz takvu analizu utvrđeno je da se neoliberalizam i objektivizam podudaraju u
svojim općenitim ciljevima, poput zagovaranja kapitalizma i liberalne demokracije kao
najboljeg mogućeg oblika državnog ustrojstva, te da neoliberalizam i objektivizam dijele
mnoge karakteristike, no da njihove teorijske sastavnice nisu potpuno identične. Ono što se iz
analize zaključuje je da je objektivizam, a prvenstveno njegova osnivateljica, predvidio
metode kojima su se neoliberalni akteri koristili od 1980-ih nadalje. Takav zaključak otvara
novi pristup analizi odnosa između neoliberalizma i objektivizma te daje naslutiti potencijalna
rješenja za obrazovni aspekt šire krize neoliberalizma.

Abstract (english)

This research was undertaken with the aim and purpose of clarifying the relationship between
the ideology of neoliberalism and the philosophy of objectivism in terms of the conception
that each of the worldviews has about the idea of spreading knowledge. The research,
therefore, consists of comparing the ideology of neoliberalism with the philosophy of
objectivism in terms of methods of disseminating knowledge. The analysis takes place
through an initial analysis of neoliberalism as a value system, then through an identical
analysis of objectivism and its founder, Ayn Rand, and finally through a comparison of the
aforementioned ideology and philosophy based on their approaches to formal education, roles
of intellectuals and mass media. Through such an analysis, it was found that neoliberalism
and objectivism coincide in their general goals, such as advocating capitalism and liberal
democracy as the best possible form of government, and that neoliberalism and objectivism
share many characteristics, but that their theoretical components are not completely identical.
What the analysis concludes is that objectivism, and primarily its founder, foresaw the
methods used by neoliberal actors from the 1980s onwards. Such a conclusion opens a new
approach to the analysis of the relationship between neoliberalism and objectivism and
suggests potential solutions to the educational aspect of the wider crisis of neoliberalism.
