Today man's mind is under attack by all the leading schools
of philosophy. We are told that we cannot trust our senses,
that logic is arbitrary, that concepts have no basis in
reality. Ayn Rand opposes that torrent of nihilism, and she
provides the alternative in this eloquent presentation of
the essential nature - and power - of man's conceptual
faculty. She offers a startlingly original solution to the
problem that brought about the collapse of modern
philosophy: the problem of universals. This brilliantly
argued, superbly written work, together with a remarkable
essay by philosophy professor Leonard Peikoff, is vital
reading for all those who seek to discover that human beings
can and should live by the guidance of reason.
