Zusammenfassung:	"This is Ayn Rand's challenge to the prevalent philosophical doctrines of our time and 'the atmosphere of guilt, of panic, of despair, of boredom, and of all-pervasive evasion' that they create. One of the most controversial figures on the intellectual scene, Ayn Rand was the proponent of a moral philosophy- an ethic of rational self-interest- that stands in sharp opposition to the ethics of altruism and self-sacrifice. The fundamentals of this morality- 'a philosophy for living on earth'- are here vibrantly set forth by the spokesman for a new class, for the new intellectual."--Page 4 of cover
