THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY EDITIONβThe definitive statement of Ayn Randβs philosophy as interpreted by her best student and chosen heir.
Β
This brilliantly conceived and organized book is Dr. Leonard Peikoffβs classic text on the abstract principles and practical applications of Objectivism, based on his lecture series βThe Philosophy of Objectivism.β Ayn Rand said of these lectures: βUntil or unless I write a comprehensive treatise on my philosophy, Dr. Peikoffβs course is the only authorized presentation of the entire theoretical structure of Objectivismβthat is, the only one that I know of my knowledge to be fully accurate.β
Β
In Objectivism, Peikoff covers every philosophic topic that Rand regarded as importantβfrom certainty to money, from logic to art, from measurement to sex. Drawn from Randβs published works as well as in-depth conversations between her and Peikoff, these chapters illuminate Objectivismβand its creatorβwith startling clarity. With Objectivism, the millions of readers who have been transformed by Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead will discover the full philosophical system underlying Ayn Randβs work.
