About This Item
New York, NY: Signet, 1964. Mass Market Paperback. Good. Tight, unmarked; two half-moon shaped stains to bottom and inside edge of front cover; age tanning; otherwise spine straight and uncreased; very minimal wear; Ayn Rand here sets forth 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 incompatible with man's nature, with the creative requirements of survival, and with a free society.
Synopsis
The Virtue of Selfishness: A New Concept of Egoism is a 1964 collection of essays and papers by Ayn Rand and Nathaniel Branden. Most of the essays originally appeared in The Objectivist Newsletter, except for "The Objectivist Ethics", which was a paper Rand delivered at the University of Wisconsin during a symposium on "Ethics in Our Time". The book covers several issues of the Objectivist philosophy of Ayn Rand.
