Die Tugend des Egoismus

AYN RAND here elaborates the moral principles of Objectivism, the philosophy that takes man's life - the life suitable for a rational being - as the standard of moral values and states that altruism is incompatible with human nature, the creative requirements of his survival, and a free society. Ayn Rand is the author of "The Strike," the most provocative philosophical bestseller of its time. Her first novel, We the Living, was published in 1936, and she became famous with the publication of The Origin in 1943. Ayn Rand's unique philosophy, Objectivism, is the subject of controversy around the world.
