Publisher's Synopsis

Explores the work of philosopher-novelist Ayn Rand. It addresses the basis of her egoism in a virtue-centred normative ethics; her account of how moral norms in general are themselves based on a fundamental choice by an agent to value his own life; and how her own approach to the foundations of ethics is to be compared and contrasted with familiar approaches in the analytic ethical tradition.
