The Problem with Selfishness
Journal of Ayn Rand Studies 14 (1):38-54 (2014)
Abstract
Ayn Rand argued that “selfish” is the correct designation for a person living according to the Objectivist ethics and that selfishness is a virtue. The accuracy of this claim is examined along with the meaning of “selfish,” the wider implications for the Objectivist ethics, and ethics in general. Alternatives to the term are suggested.Other Versions
