This brilliantly conceived and organized book is based on a lecture
course given by Dr. Leonard Peikoff in 1976, entitled "The
Philosophy of Objectivism." The lectures were attended by Ayn Rand,
who helped prepare them and also joined Peikoff in answering
questions. Ayn Rand said of these lectures: "Until or unless I
write a comprehensive treatise on my philosophy, Dr. Peikoff's
course is the only "authorized" presentation of the entire
theoretical structure of Objectivism--that is, the only one that I
know of my own knowledge to be fully accurate."
Dr. Peikoff, Rand's designated heir and foremost interpreter,
reveals the abstract fundamentals of Objectivism and its practical
applications in the everyday world. He covers every branch of
philosophy recognized by Rand and every philosophic topic she
regarded as important--from certainty to money, from logic to art,
from measurement to sex. Illustrated with quotes from her published
works, complete with an abundance of new material that Ayn Rand
offered only in private conversations with Peikoff, these clear,
cogent chapters illuminate Objectivism--and its creator--with
startling clarity. Now the millions of readers who have been
transformed by Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead will discover
the full philosophical system underlying Ayn Rand's stories about
life "as it might be and ought to be."
