Beskrivning
A collection of essays that sets forth the moral principles of Objectivism, Ayn Rand's controversial, groundbreaking philosophy.
Since their initial publication, Rand's fictional works—Anthem, The Fountainhead, and Atlas Shrugged—have had a major impact on the intellectual scene. The underlying theme of her famous novels is her philosophy, a new morality—the ethics of rational self-interest—that offers a robust challenge to altruist-collectivist thought.
Known as Objectivism, her divisive philosophy holds human life—the life proper to a rational being—as the standard of moral values and regards altruism as incompatible with man's nature. In this series of essays, Rand asks why man needs morality in the first place, and arrives at an answer that redefines a new code of ethics based on the virtue of selfishness.

- 5/5 Markus E
Intressant hur Ayn Rand argumenterar för och emot de subjektiva och objektiva perspektivet. för och nackdel med altruism och egoism, påverkan av värden för människor. Oerhört intressant och insiktsfull, rekommenderar starkt denna bok.
- 5/5 Armo
Om man önskar sätta sig in i Rands tankar om selfishness och hur dessa ter sig i olika ämnen är denna bok ypperlig. Författaren går igenom ett antal olika områden och reder ut hur problem inom dessa ska betraktas och hanteras. För alla personer som söker en motvikt mot grupptänkande är detta verk ett måste liksom för de som ännu inte har satt sig in i individualism.
