= __Definition and History of the philosophy of Flat Earth__ = = =
 * ==Flat Earthers are a group of people who believes that Earth is shaped like a plane or disk. If you sail far enough, you would reach a waterfall where you would fall over the Earth. That's the one and only conception that people had until the 17th century.==


 * ==Ancient Near East, early Egyptian and Mesopotamian thought the world was portrayed as a flat disk floating in the ocean.==


 * ==In the classical world, there are many books left over from poets, philosophers and historians which indicates that the world floats on the water like a log. Also, there are reports from Ancient Japan, China, Norway and Germany. Even thought in nowadays,science has already proven that the Earth is not flat, the Flat Earthers still insists that the Earth is flat. ==

==After that, most of the western people state the earth is global. And when Magellan finished sailing around the world, the Flat Earth is fully proved wrong. But in the other places out of Europe, people were not conscious of global Earth except India. ==
 * ==**Aristotle put forward three evidences that prove that the earth is global:** 1.North star becomes higher when goes to north and becomes lower when south. 2.When a ship comes close to the shore, we always see the mast fisrt.3.At eclipse of the moon, the shape of the Earth which be reflected on the moon is global. ==

So, they judge things not by facts but by their independent feelings. This against with her Objectivism and personal emotion become the main affection for people’s thinking. ==



==In the Ethics Self-interest of Ayn Rand, the pursuit of human’s own rational self-interest and of their own happiness is the highest moral purpose of their life. Flat Earthers have found the theory which they are interesting in and that could be the purpose of part of their life. On this side, Flat Earthers become the same side with her. ==
