Summary:
This is Ayn Rand's challenge to the prevalent philosophical
doctrines of our time and the "atmosphere of guilt, of panic,
of despair, of boredom, and of all-pervasive evasion" that they
create. One of the most controversial figures on the
intellectual scene, Ayn Rand was the proponent of a moral
philosophy--and ethic of rational self-interest--that stands in
sharp opposition to the ethics of altruism and self-sacrifice.
The fundamentals of this morality--"a philosophy for living on
Earth"--are here vibrantly set forth by the spokesman for a new
class, For the New Intellectual.
