No, Ayn

I was hoping to write a book this year on Ayn Rand, but I am not finding enough material to justify that aim. At this juncture, I will not do what I planned to do. Nonetheless, I am reading most of her books, and reading all that I can about her.

We both are Objectivists and Egosits (some differences of opinion to exist), but she wrote one phrase that hurts our Egoist cause. The infamous title of her book on morality is The Virtues of Selfishness.

I dislike that phrase because, in the Western world, and perhaps worldwide selfishness is regarded as pure evil.

I would have given a book on egoist ethics a title like The Virtues of Rational Self-Interest.
