The objectivist ethics -- Mental health versus mysticism and self-sacrifice -- The ethics of emergencies -- The "conflicts" of men's interests -- Isn't everyone selfish -- The psychology of pleasure -- Doesn't life require compromise? -- How does one lead a rational life in an irrational society? -- The cult of moral grayness -- Collectivized ethics -- The monument builders -- Man's rights -- Collectivized "rights" -- The nature of government -- Government financing in a free society -- The divine right of stagnation -- Racism -- Counterfeit individualism -- The argument from intimidation.
Ayn Rand set forth the moral principles of objectivism, the philosophy that holds man's life-- the life proper to a rational being-- as the standard of moral values and regards altruism as incompatible with man's nature, with the creative requirements of his survival, and with a free society.
