Review
"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."

This brief text assists students in understanding Ayn Rand's philosophy and thinking so that they can more fully engage in useful, intelligent class dialogue and improve their understanding of course content. Part of the "Wadsworth Philosophers Series," (which will eventually consist of approximately 100 titles, each focusing on a single "thinker" from ancient times to the present), ON AYN RAND is written by a philosopher deeply versed in the philosophy of this key thinker. Like other books in the series, this concise book offers sufficient insight into the thinking of a notable philosopher better enabling students to engage the reading and to discuss the material in class and on paper.
