For The New Intellectual by Ayn Rand

The Philosophy of Ayn Rand

A polemical manifesto arguing that civilization has been crippled by the alliance of brute force and mysticism, it calls for a new class of thinkers to champion reason, individualism, and laissez‑faire capitalism over altruism and collectivism. The opening essay sketches archetypes of “Attila” and the “Witch Doctor,” contending that only a philosophy of rational self‑interest can sustain freedom and progress, while the remainder of the volume presents curated excerpts from earlier novels to dramatize these themes in action.
