About This Item
New York: Signet Books, 1968. Twenty-third printing. No later date than 1968; circa 1975. Classic watercolor of thinking man and books in foreground. Moderate cover, corner wear. Pages very good; few w/underscore. 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--and 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. 192 pages.. First Edition Thus. Paperback. Very Good. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
