Ayn Rand is well known for advocating egoism, but the substance of
that instruction is rarely understood. Far from representing the
rejection of morality, selfishness, in Rand's view, actually
demands the practice of a systematic code of ethics. This book
explains the fundamental virtues that Rand considers vital for a
person to achieve his objective well-being: rationality, honesty,
independence, justice, integrity, productiveness, and pride.
Tracing Rand's account of the harmony of human beings' rational
interests, Smith examines what each of these virtues consists of,
why it is a virtue, and what it demands of a person in practice.
Along the way she addresses the status of several conventional
virtues within Rand's theory, considering traits such as kindness,
charity, generosity, temperance, courage, forgiveness, and
humility. Ayn Rand's Normative Ethics thus offers an in-depth
exploration of several specific virtues and an illuminating
integration of these with the broader theory of egoism.
