Far from representing the rejection of morality, selfishness, in Rand�s view, actually demands the practice of a systematic code of ethics. This book explains the fundamental virtues that Rand considers vital for a person to achieve his objective well-being: rationality, honesty, independence, justice, integrity, productiveness, and pride. Tara Smith examines what each of these virtues consists in, why it is a virtue, and what it demands of a person in practice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47612684992663,"sku":"9780521705462","price":3610.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780521705462.webp?v=1775079652","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/ayn-rands-normative-ethics-the-virtuous-egoist-9780521705462","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
