Who needs philosophy? Ayn Rand’s answer: Everyone.
This
collection of essays was the last work planned by Ayn Rand
before her death in 1982. In it, she summarizes her view of
philosophy and deals with a broad spectrum of topics.
According to Ayn Rand, the choice we make is not whether to
have a philosophy but which one to have: rational,
conscious, and therefore practical; or contradictory,
unidentified, and ultimately lethal. Written with all the
clarity and eloquence that have placed Ayn Rand’s
objectivist philosophy in the mainstream of American
thought, these essays range over such basic issues as
education, morality, censorship, and inflation to prove that
philosophy is the fundamental force in all our lives.
