"Why Ayn Rand Is Wrong (and Why It Matters)" lays out three arguments against Ayn Rand's doctrine of rational self-interest, all revolving around the meaning of the word "self".
The author also argues that Ayn Rand's ideas deserve more respect and regard than they currently receive within the larger philosophy community, and suggests that those who disagree with her tend to rely on insult and caricature rather than reason and logic in their challenge to Objectivist dogma. Levi Asher -- like Ayn Rand, a lay philosopher who loves a structured debate -- hopes this innovative book will help bring about a better dialogue between the many smart people around the world who believe in Ayn Rand, and the many smart people who don't.
A provocative, lively and bracing read for anyone who cares about ethics, philosophy and the work of Ayn Rand!
