Publisher's Synopsis
Ayn Rand here sets forth the moral principles of Objectivism, the philosophy that holds human life the life proper to a rational being as the standard of moral values and regards altruism as incompatible with human nature, with the creative requirements of survival, and with a free society.
Ms. Rands unique philosophy, Objectivism, has gained a worldwide audience. The fundamentals of her philosophy are set forth in this and three other nonfiction books: Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology, For the New Intellectual, and Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal, the latter two available from Blackstone.
