Book Reviews of The Virtue of Selfishness (Signet)
Book Review: "Fie! Thou Rand-hating Hecklers!"
Summary: 5 Stars
"Fie!, Thou Rand-Hating Hecklers..."
I just finished reading The Virtue of Selfishness and found Ayn Rand's ideas to be insightful and meaningful. Rand's concept of "rational selfishness" is quite new and unique, and it certainly is not "satanic." (Myth or not, Satan was certainly not rational since he believed himself to be superior to his Creator. And he was certainly not selfish, because if he HAD been, he would have quickly repented to save his "self" from eternal damnation in the lake of fire).
I don't find Objectivism to be incompatible with Christianity: Jesus himself said to "love thy neighbor as thyself," the Self being the primary and most natural standard of reference....
