From the book’s back cover:

“This is a superb collection of essays on Ayn Rand’s metaethics and her theories of value, virtue, and egoism. The dialogues between leading Rand specialists and distinguished moral philosophers less familiar with her philosophical work shed new light on the relationship of her thought to contemporary analytic philosophy.”
                    —Fred D. Miller, Jr., Bowling Green State University
 

“Ayn Rand’s Objectivist philosophy is an important cultural force in the United States today and influential in contemporary political debates.  And yet there has been a dearth of sustained philosophical discussions of Objectivism in the scholarly literature. Fortunately, this is changing.  In Metaethics, Egoism, and Virtue, a very strong group of philosophers debate such central questions as how Objectivism approaches the foundations of ethics and analyzes the nature of value and virtue—including the complex relationship between rational egoism and altruism.  Philosophers interested in engaging with Objectivism with greater clarity and depth would do well to start here.”
                    —Peter Railton, University of Michigan


“A valuable and exciting project. Gotthelf and Lennox are universally recognized as being two of the leading Ayn Rand scholars.“
                    —Harry Binswanger, professor of philosophy,
                        Ayn Rand Institute


“At long last a book has brought together specialists in ethical theory and moral psychology with scholars of Ayn Rand, to engage with Rand’s thought at the highest levels. These energetic discussions will be of interest to ethicists as well as social and political thinkers.”
