Produktinformationen zu „The Virtue of Selfishness “
Klappentext zu „The Virtue of Selfishness “
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.

Autoren-Porträt von Ayn Rand
Born February 2, 1905, Ayn Rand published her first novel, We the Living, in 1936. Anthem followed in 1938. It was with the publication of The Fountainhead (1943) and Atlas Shrugged (1957) that she achieved her spectacular success. Rand s unique philosophy, Objectivism, has gained a worldwide audience. The fundamentals of her philosophy are put forth in three nonfiction books, Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology, The Virtues of Selfishness, and Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal. They are all available in Signet editions, as is the magnificent statement of her artistic credo, The Romantic Manifesto.
