Dec 26, 2018 at 20:59 comment added Lucretius I'm thinking about formulating this into a more complete answer (it could easily be a book). I would argue that not only was she trying to present such archetypes using her fictional work to be both practical and inspirational but she was also trying to drag a culture heading in the opposite direction along with her kicking and screaming.

Oct 24, 2018 at 22:28 comment added Jonathan I guess I should have elaborated a bit better: I meant Rand's objectivist aesthetics and if the effect or relateability or how it helps people understand metaphysics or ethics better... and is it a similar effect to Jungian shadow, archetypes that are somehow so instantly relatable to people.
Oct 24, 2018 at 22:10 comment added Philip Klöcking Hello, I very much like the gist of the question - even if I am not qualified to answer it - but I would like to ask you to kind of clarify the question: Are you asking for "relations", e.g. a similar psychological or argumental function stated within the corresponding theories, or rather for material similarities between the descriptions of Jungian symbolic archetypes and Rand's/Piekoff's symbolic pieces of arts? This may be important since the former has more philosophical weight while the latter (still on-topic) aspect would probably be an expression of similar cultural backgrounds.
