Ayn Rand here sets for the the moral principles of
Objectivism, the philosophy that holds man's life - the life
proper to a rational being - as the standard of moral values
and regards altruism as imcompatible with man's nature, with
the creative requirements of his survival and with a free
society.
Ayn Rand wrote Atlas Shrugged,
philosophically the most challenging bestseller in its time.
Her first novel, We the Living, was published in
1936. With the publication of The Fountainhead in
1943, she achieved a spectacular and enduring success. Miss
Rand's unique philosophy, Objectivism, has gained a
worldwide audience. The fundamentals of her philosophy are
set forth in four nonfiction books: Introduction to
Objectivist Epistemology, For the New Intellectual, The
Virtue of Selfishness, and Capitalism: the Unknown
Ideal. The magnificent statement of her artistic credo,
The Romantic Manifesto, is also available in a Signet
edition.
