The Virtue of Selfishness: Fiftieth Anniversary Edition (Fiftieth Edition, Anniversary)

Objectivism: A Philosophy by Ayn Rand 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. This philosophy regards altruism as incompatible with man's nature, with the creative requirements of his survival, and with a free society.
