Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
"This volume takes up a wide variety of metaethical issues that are important both for those who look to Rand for inspiration and those who do not. Once can hope the conversation continues, for mutual benefit."--Reason Papers "The Ayn Rand Society Philosophical Studies series will further the serious study of Ayn Rand, placing her in the history of philosophy and helping to demonstrate the originality and depth of a philosopher who is still often overlooked."--Michael S. Berliner, Founding Director, Ayn Rand Institute and Senior Advisor, Ayn Rand Archives "The reader will benefit from what both of the authors have to say about Rand's ethics. This collection is highly recommended."--Journal of Ayn Rand Studies "The authors collected in Gotthelf and Lennox's book plainly show how Rand's work is relevant both to the analytic and existentialist traditions in moral philosophy, and is worthy of study for the issues it addresses within the Objectivist framework. . . . With the popularity of Rand's ideas, the book is certainly recommended for ethicists, upper year scholarly classes and academic libraries."--Philosophy in Review "This collection of essays by Rand scholars and other academic philosophers is a fruitful interchange between the Objectivist philosophy of Ayn Rand and contemporary ethical theory. The book includes valuable exchanges on questions about the metaphysics, epistemology, and normative content of ethics. . . . Lively, informed, and sophisticated. . . . The exchange of ideas should benefit Rand scholars and all philosophers interested in the foundation of ethics."--Choice "The current interest in Ayn Rand and her writings--in the media, in schools and universities, and in academic publication--is great and growing. This series provides an opportunity for accurate, insightful, and knowledgeable treatment of her work."--Shoshana Milgram Knapp, Virginia Tech Read more...
