Ayn Rand Asks

Ayn Rand asks if the moral concepts of good and evil are artificial, arbitrary, mere social constructs, or are they metaphysical reality, biologically driven moral concepts that supplement human instincts so that reasoning, high consciousness humans can take advantage of these concepts to guide their daily lives and activities. I believe these concepts run deep and make civilized life possible. here is how Rand broached the question of Page 14 of her book, The Virtue Of Selfishness: "Is the concept of value, of 'good or evil' an arbitrary human invention, unrelated to, underived from and unsupported by any facts of reality, or is it based on a metaphysical fact, an unalterable condition of man's existence?"
