Tóm tắt

"This is Ayne Rand's challenge to the prevalent philosophical doctrine 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--an ethic of rational self-interest--that stands in sharp opposition of 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"--P. [4] of cover.
