It is interesting that she heself acknowledges that she leaves as "unanswered" the question of WHY something is right or wrong (or good and bad) she claims that it is derived internally and that no further exploration into the question is needed....So Even in Ayn Rands world view somewhere is this concept that hating man is evil and loving man is good.

Agreed.

I'd like to know your source.

Here's what I know Ayn Rand said ...

The standard of value of the Objectivist ethics -- the standard by which one judges what is good and evil -- is man's life ...From The Objectivist Ethics, page 23 in the paperback titled "The virtue of Selfishness."

If some men do not choose to think, but survive by imitating and repeating, like trained animals, the routine of sounds and motions they learned from others, never making an effort to understand their own work, it still remains that thier survival is made possible only by those who did choose to think and discover the motions they are repeating. The survival of such mental parasites depends on blind chance; their unfocused minds are unable to know whom to imitate, whose motions it is safe to follow. Ibid, page 23.

Man must choose his actions, values and goals by the standard of that which is proper to man -- in order to achieve, maintain, fulfill and enjoy that ultimate value, that end in itself, which is his own life. -- Ibid, page 25.
