On Ayn Rand (Philosopher (Wadsworth))
Gotthelf joins scholarly rigor with firsthand knowledge of Rand's thought to provide a systematic introduction to Rand's philosophy, Objectivism. The result is absorbing . . . rich with provocative ideas. . . . The book serves as an excellent introduction to Rand's thought precisely because it is intellectually serious and incorporates substantial portions of Rand's reasoning."Gotthelf's illuminating account of Rand's epis-temology offers an intriguing point of entry . . . as well as an object lesson on the relationship between epistemology and ethics. . . . On Ayn Rand is a remarkable success. . . . I can't think of a piece of writing that better conveys both the systematicity and the grandeur of Rand's thought than the last four pages of Gotthelf's book.
