Ayn Rand's normative ethics : the virtuous egoist

Author:	Tara Smith
Publisher:	Cambridge ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2006.
Edition/Format:	Print book : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	Tracing Rand's account of the value and harmony of human rational interests, the author examines the fundamental virtues that Rand considered vital for a person to achieve their objective well-being. She relates this form of egoism to virtue ethics and paints a more positive view of the egoist in philosophy than is common.
