books by Leonard Peikoff     books:       Anthem437 reviews Ayn Rand Plume, 1999 Excellent Book If you read only one book this year, read this one. Thought provoking, moving, soul stirring.             Philosophy: Who Needs It40 reviews Ayn Rand Signet, 1984 What Can One Person Do? This is the title of Chapter 17. Chapter 1 is that one that got me hooked on this book as it offered a clear structure of philosophical concepts and practical applications of them that we all experience. My father complains that he doesn't have the vocabularly to debate the socialists we all have to endure. I suggested to him that he has the vocabulary, but not the structure and gave him this ...             The Ominous Parallels (The Ayn Rand Library - Volume III)49 reviews Leonard Peikoff A Mentor Book, 1983 Bad Ideas have Bad Consequences Ayn Rand's legal and intellectual heir, Dr. Leonard Peikoff's book seeks to explain what led to one of the most advanced nations in the developed world embrace the monstrous doctrines of Nazism as official, legal and politically popular policy? Popular theses suggest that the Treaty of Versailles left the Germans in a state of poverty and desperation, which led to the rise of Nazi Germany. Dr. ...             The Fountainhead966 reviews Ayn Rand, Leonard Peikoff Signet, 1996 "But I don't think of you" I'm not quite sure how she pulled it off, but with The Fountainhead, Ayn Rand managed to forge a literary masterpiece out of reheated libertarianism, stone age sexual politics, and dialogue that's so full of grandiose monologuing it would make William Shakespeare blush. I'm not being tongue-in-cheek here; I really do love this novel. I really do think that it's a jaw-dropping monument to the ...             The Journals of Ayn Rand10 reviews Ayn Rand, Leonard Peikoff Plume, 1999 An essential take on the evolution of Ayn Rand! I agree with Stephen Cox, who writes on The Daily Objectivist website: "One of its best features is the large amount of plain good writing that one discovers here, much more than one might expect to find in an author's working notes. Rand does very well in the medium of brief and (as she thought) temporary comments. The volume contains many shrewd observations, vital expressions of ...             The Voice of Reason: Essays in Objectivist Thought (The Ayn Rand Library, Vol V)11 reviews Ayn Rand Plume, 1990 No Objectivist's Library Should Be Without This This is an excellent collection of essays that should be included in the library of every fan of Objectivism, the philosophy of Ayn Rand. This book contains several great essays by Ayn Rand, which include her thoughts on abortion, the Apollo missions, Vietnam and working for the government. This collection also includes several insightful higher level philosophical essays including the ...             Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology: Expanded Second Edition45 reviews Ayn Rand Plume, 1990 Read these reviews carefully So many of these reviews complain that 'Ms. Rand claims that she has solved the problem of universals, but universals are a problem of metaphysics, not epistimology' Imagine a group of doctors standing around a patient, trying to figure out what is wrong with the patients nose, because he has complained that he has a problem breathing. They've examined his nose, looked up inside it, probed ...             We the Living133 reviews Ayn Rand Signet, 1996 Brutal, Sincere, and Maybe Rand's Best Sometimes, after finishing a book, I feel deep within me that it is important that other people read it, too. I'm sure you feel the same way. We The Living is such a book. I can't say whether it is Rand's best fiction or not... certainly a better read than Atlas Shrugged or Anthem, but The Fountainhead looms large in my memory, and might still claim the throne. However, I wouldn't feel it ...             Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand (The Ayn Rand Library, Volume 6)78 reviews Leonard Peikoff Plume, 1993 Authoritative, Systematic and Elucidative Source on the Philosophy of Ayn Rand! The author of this book is Ayn Rand's chosen intellectual and legal heir, making him the highest possible authoritative source on her philosophy. With Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand (OPAR), Dr. Peikoff has created the first and only systematic and comprehensive presentation on the philosophy of Ayn Rand. If you want to get a deeper understanding of Ayn Rand's philosophy beyond reading ...             Atlas Shrugged: 35th Anniversary Edition1542 reviews Ayn Rand Dutton Adult, 1992 Misunderstood The very instant you hear someone saying "She thinks so-and-so because in the end it's better for humanity" stop the conversation, because that person has either not read the book, or did not read it closely. Ayn Rand's philosophy attempts to destroy the common trends in modern and contemporary philosophy who claim either there are no moral absolutes, or there are no absolute truths in ...             Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand Leonard Peikoff Blackstone Audio Inc., 2007 This brilliantly conceived and well-organized book is based on a lecture course given by Dr. Leonard Peikoff in 1976, prepared with the help of Ayn Rand and entitled "The Philosophy of Objectivism." Ayn Rand said of these lectures: "Until or unless I write a comprehensive treatise on my philosophy, Dr. Peikoff's course is the only authorized presentation of the entire theoretical structure of objectivism--that is, the only one that I know to ...             Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand Leonard Peikoff Blackstone Audio Inc., 2007 This brilliantly conceived and well-organized book is based on a lecture course given by Dr. Leonard Peikoff in 1976, prepared with the help of Ayn Rand and entitled "The Philosophy of Objectivism."

"In regard to precision of language I think I myself am the best writer today." (P. 10) OK-this is Ayn Rand, so you either love her or hate her. But you do have to admit that she is one the world's clearest thinkers. She not only knows what she believes, but she also knows how to explain it, and explain it very well. This is exceptional when you consider that English is a second language. ...             Ojectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand Leonard Peikoff Blackstone Audio Inc., 2007 This brilliantly conceived and well-organized book is based on a lecture course given by Dr. Leonard Peikoff in 1976, prepared with the help of Ayn Rand and entitled "The Philosophy of Objectivism."

I read this book as if it were the last one she had written. I savored the stories, the characters, the sometimes enevitable plots. I grew up with Ayn. First I read Anthem, then The Fountainhead, and then Atlas Shrugged.(These over the course of my teen years.) I believed that what she said was true. Yes, I have matured and realized life is not quite so perfect as I wished it could be as ...             Ayn Rand Reader6 reviews Ayn Rand Plume, 1999 Excellent Introduction to Ayn Rand For those of you who are honestly interested in learning about Ayn Rand, I fully recommend this book as an introduction to her philosophy. It's very disheartening to see that Ayn Rand detractors have overwhelmed most of the review boards for her books. If you read this book, please keep in mind several things that its detractors have not: 1. Ayn Rand's philosophy is an integrated system of ...             Letters of Ayn Rand13 reviews Ayn Rand Plume, 1997 Spectacular! Ayn Rand is the author of numerous philosophical works, fiction and non-fiction alike. She is best known as the founder of her unique Objectivist philosophy, which is essentially concerned with individual men acting in their own rational self-interests, coupled with a strong moral defense of free-market Capitalism. Her ideas are very complex, yet easily grasped by the interested reader. ?Letters ...              search for books anniversary, anthem, edition, epistemology, essays, expanded, fiction, fountainhead, guide, introduction, journals, letters, library, living, objectivism, objectivist, ojectivism, ominous, parallels, philosophy, reader, readers, reason, second, selection, shrugged, thought, unpublished, volume, writers books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
