Description
The Virtue of Selfishness Fiftieth Anniversary Edition by Ayn Rand A collection of essays that sets forth the moral principles of Objectivism, a philosophy that challenges traditional notions of morality. In this book, Ayn Rand explores the ethics of rational self-interest, arguing that human life is the standard of moral values and that altruism is incompatible with human nature. Rand's philosophy, known as Objectivism, offers a new code of ethics based on the virtue of selfishness. Rand's essays ask fundamental questions about the nature of morality and the role of human reason in shaping our values. Her ideas have had a significant impact on the intellectual scene, and her works, including novels such as Anthem, The Fountainhead, and Atlas Shrugged, continue to be widely read and debated. With over 1 million copies sold, this edition of The Virtue of Selfishness marks a significant milestone in the publication of Rand's work.
