The Philosophic Thought of Ayn Rand

"An excellent book that provides

      a systematic account of Rand's work as a philosopher.... The Philosophic

      Thought of Ayn Rand gathers contributions from professional philosophers

      (some of them quite renowned) to tackle the various components --- metaphysical/epistemological,

      ethical, and social/political --- of Rand's comprehensive system. All the

      contributors demonstrate the particular genius of current academic philosophy:

      the painstaking and meticulous analysis of assumptions with an eye toward

      the coherence and consistency of the conclusions derived therefrom.... Thorough

      and judicious, this book will provide the reader with the intellectual leverage

      necessary to understand an often confusing, always controversial, occasionally

      original, and perhaps curiously contemporary writer and thinker."
