Because her writing is so extensive and the range of issues she covers so massive, it can be difficult for the reader to know where in her many books to look for a specific formulation or topic. The Ayn Rand Lexicon~with an Introduction by Miss Rand's literary executor, Leonard Peikoff~is the definitive guide to the works of one of the most important writers of our century. A highly accessible compilation of key statements on over 400 topics in philosophy and related fields, the hundreds of entries in this exhaustively researched work are arranged alphabetically~from abortion, absolutes, abstraction, and agnosticism through to welfore state, words, xenophobia, and zero (reification of). The index and cross~references provide quick and easy access to specific topics or passages in Ayn Rand's articles, essays, lectures, and books. Harry Binswanger has skillfully and accurately excerpted not only Rand's familiar works, but also the more obscure and little~known sources. This is a unique volume that brings together for the first time all the key ideas of Objectivism, the philosophy brilliantly dramatized in Ayn Rand's novels We the Living, The Fountainhead, and Atlas Shrugged. The passages offered for each topic are selfcontained, self~intelligible, and arranged in a logical sequence, with each excerpt building on the earlier ones. The Lexicon, begun during Ayn Rand's lifetime, with her approval and supervision, is a fascinating and illuminating guide to her original philosophy of reason, self~interest, and laissez~faire capitalism. The book is successful as both an intriguing introduction for the newcomer, and a comprehensive sourcebook for readers already familiar with Objectivist ideas.
