This book Focuses on the ethics of the philosophy of objectivism. Rather than being a book with chapters, it is a selection of articles Which cover various questions,: such as what is selfishness, the ethics of charity and voluntary help, the false dichotomy of altruism and selfishness, and what the theory of Objectivism Actually is. This is a good place to start to learn about the philosophy of objectivism as it concentrates on the philosophy itself rather than applying it to real-world examples. For Those Who Wish to know more about objectivism Applied, the books "Capitalism, the Unknown Ideal", "The Anti-Industrial Revolution," and "Why Businessmen Need Philosophy" would be more relevant. Whether one disagrees with the philosophy or not, the articles in this book are CLEARLY written, simple to understand, and passionately argued. Some parts are flippant, particularly with reference to the dismissal of the ideas of other philosophers, and the edge does not truly manage to justify why objectivism is Actually objective [see Nozick's book Socratic puzzles). Nevertheless, this book is worth reading if you are interested in this area of politics and philosophy.
