Die Tugend des Egoismus

Ayn Rand elaborates on the moral principles of Objectivism here, the philosophy that regards human life - the life suitable for a rational being - as the standard of moral values and asserts that altruism is incompatible with human nature, the creative requirements of its survival, and a free society. Ayn Rand is the author of "Atlas Shrugged," the most provocative philosophical bestseller of its time. Her first novel, "We the Living," was published in 1936. She became famous with the release of "The Fountainhead" in 1943. Ayn Rand's unique philosophy, Objectivism, is controversially discussed worldwide.
