About this title

Synopsis

A prolific writer, bestselling novelist, and world-renowned philosopher, Ayn Rand defined a full system of thought--from epistemology to aesthetics. Her writing is so extensive and the range of issues she covers so enormous that those interested in finding her discussions of a given topic may have to search through many sources to locate the relevant passage. The Ayn Rand Lexicon brings together all the key ideas of her philosophy of Objectivism. Begun under Rand's supervision, this unique volume is an invaluable guide to her philosophy or reason, self-interest and laissez-faire capitalism--the philosophy so brilliantly dramatized in her novels The Fountainhead, We the Living, and Anthem.

From the Author

A mini-encylopedia of Ayn Rand's philosophy
An alphabetically organized compilation of excerpts culled from Ayn Rand's many articles, lectures, and books, this work presents the Objectivist view on some 400 topics in philosophy, politics, art, economics, and psychology--ranging from "Abortion" to "Zero, Reification of."
The Lexicon is both an intriguing introduction to Ayn Rand's thought for the newcomer and a comprehensive sourcebook for readers already familiar with Objectivist ideas.
Begun under Ayn Rand's personal supervision, this volume is a guide to her philosophy of reason, self-interest, and laissez-faire capitalism--the philosophy dramatized in her nolvels _The Fountainhead_ and _Atlas Shrugged_.
