About this title

Synopsis

Machan’s book explores all the major themes of Ayn Rand’s philosophical thought. He shows the frequent strengths and occasional weaknesses of Rand’s mature philosophy of Objectivism, drawing on his own, and many others’, discussion of this challenging and iconoclastic thinker’s ideas. Machan’s treatment of Rand is a welcome addition to the growing literature of serious scholarship on Rand’s philosophical work.
