Peikoff, as Rand’s designated heir and foremost interpreter, reveals the abstract fundamentals of objectivism and its practical applications in the everyday world. He covers every branch of philosophy recognized by Rand and every philosophical topic that she regarded as important – from certainty to money, from logic to art, from measurement to sex. Illustrated with quotes from her published works, complete with an abundance of new material that Ayn Rand offered only in private conversations with Peikoff, these clear, cogent chapters illuminate objectivism and its creator with startling clarity.
