La virtud del egoísmo

Since they began to be published, Ayn Rand's works have had a remarkable impact on the intellectual, political and social scene. Her ideas have been passionately discussed and vigorously defended for more than half a century. In the Randian universe, the underlying theme is always philosophy, with a new morality that addresses individualism, freedom, and the rejection of the totalitarian vocation of states and the tyrannical instincts of those who want to impose collectivist solutions on us. A challenge that is still valid today and threatens us. Known as Objectivism, her philosophy holds that human life - the life appropriate for a rational being - is the norm of moral values and she considers collectivism incompatible with the nature of man. In this series of essays written over several decades, Rand wonders why man needs morality. And, her response, she defines a new ethical code based on the virtue of selfishness.
