Philosophy: Who needs it? - Ayn Rand

This collection of essays was Ayn Rand's last work before her death in 1982. In it, she summarizes her philosophical views and examines a wide range of issues. In her opinion, the choice we make is not whether or not to have our own philosophy, but what it will be: rational, conscious, practical or contradictory, uncertain and therefore disastrous. Written in the clear language that has brought Objectivism to the forefront of American thought, these essays touch on issues such as education, morality, censorship, and inflation to argue that philosophy is the central foundation of our lives.
