For the New Intellectual: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand (50th Anniversary Edition)
- Used Book in Good Condition
Here is Ayn Randâ€™s first non-fiction workâ€”a challenge to the prevalent philosophical doctrines of our time and the â€œatmosphere of guilt, of panic, of despair, of boredom, and of all-pervasive evasionâ€ that they create.

As incisive and relevant today as it was sixty years ago, this book presents the essentials of Ayn Randâ€™s philosophy â€œfor those who wish to acquire an integrated view of existence.â€ In the title essay, she offers an analysis of Western culture, discusses the causes of its progress, its decline, its present bankruptcy, and points the road to an intellectual renaissance.

One of the most controversial figures on the intellectual scene, Ayn Rand was the proponent of a moral philosophyâ€”and ethic of rational self-interestâ€”that stands in sharp opposition to the ethics of altruism and self-sacrifice. The fundamentals of this moralityâ€”"a philosophy for living on Earth"â€”are here vibrantly set forth by the spokesman for a new class,Â For the New Intellectual.
