For the New Intellectual: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand (Centenary Edition)

Author: Ayn Rand

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.
