Book Reviews of The Virtue of Selfishness (Signet)

Book Review: Collection of essays-unique, accessible intro to philosophy
Summary: 5 Stars

Ayn Rand--love her or hate her, this philosopher made history, challenging accepted assumptions and cheerfully slaughtering sacred cows with crystal-clear reason. Most famous for Atlas Shrugged and other formidable novels, she also expressed her views in brief, pithy essays. This slim volume of her essays from the 1960s is a painless introduction to the startling ideas of this unique figure, whose novelistic skills were arguably different from her philosophical ones. The world will never look the same aftera view through Rand's prism.
