I havent read the book in many years, it was my first introduction to Rands works. Thats so vague I dont even think I can answer, but how about: Why dont you try retracing your steps through the book, a few days back.

Oh, OK, thanks. For those that it's not too long for them to read it, any questions, I will try to answer for you.

I have no clue as to what "tl:dr." stands for in the picture.

What that has to do with anything, I've no idea. Anyways, I am here to inform you that my review is now complete of her book, http://www.bookandreader.com/forums/f6/ayn-rands-normative-ethics-the-virtuous-egoist-24530.html, so now I can go finish the one for this book now.

Part 5 Now let’s take a look at another of Rand’s virtues: integrity This one is also egoistic, as it’s instrumental in rational egoism, and is essential to value achievement and human flourishing. Basically it’s practicing moral principles. Being virtuous, the value that integrity...

Part 4 On the subject of judging, now is the time to bring up another virtue: that of justice. And as I go through the virtue of justice, you will see why justice is in one’s self-interest, beneficial to one’s life, just like all the other virtues in Rand’s morality. This is why I...

Part 3 of my review. Now I turn to another virtue of Rand’s morality: independence. I would like to spend more time on this one. To Rand, independence is accepting the responsibility of making one’s own judgments, thinking for oneself, taking actions to sustain one’s own life...

Part 2 of my review of Smith’s The Virtuous Egoist. Now on to the virtues which are the main course of this book. After reading about them here, it should give one an idea of just why Rand’s morality of self-interest (selfishness) is beneficial to one’s life. Smith does a fantastic job...

Bob, I definitely have not forgotten about you. The reason why I am posting a review of Tara Smith's book, http://www.bookandreader.com/forums/f6/ayn-rands-normative-ethics-the-virtuous-egoist-24530.html , is to show exactly why selfishness (self-interest) is beneficial in ones life. After...

My Review of Tara Smith’s Ayn Rand’s Normative Ethics: The Virtuous Egoist In this book, Tara Smith does a thorough job in her presentation of Ayn Rand’s brand of egoism, rational egoism. How one leads a selfish life by taking the proper kinds of actions required to advance ones...

Hi, welcome. What subjects interest you? Do you read fiction, nonfiction, poetry... what?

Just got back from having the pleasure of watching this film. It was only me and two others in the movie theatre. I went to the 10:05am showing. Cost: $5.00. Worth: Much more nonmonetary value.. I thought it was excellent. The essense of non-objective law was described, the money speech I...

Lunch Break: Short Stories and Poems written by Quent Cordair On the cover of this collection, is Quent Cordair’s lovely oil on canvas titled “Lunch Break”. You can see it here on his art gallery site, Quent Cordair Fine Art, which features the Romantic Realism in art, such as...

Sure. It would be my pleasure. Allow me time to prepare the third part of my review in order to. Until then, see you around the forum.

When I write part 3 of my review, I will be discussing her morality then so that you can have an actual idea of just what it actually does entail. Absolutely. And to be even more clear, what you said before is what you said I claimed, I merely agree with his claim. I wasnt making a claim...

You seem to think I made that claim. To be clear, I said to eliminate the threat, which was context dependent on just what military actions it necessitates.

No resemblance? I will post my review of Part 1 soon, by starting a different thread on it.

I disagree. It can keep a market free here in the US for example. Let me elaborate on what Brook said. Take 9/11, it was an attack on political-economic-social structure. Political structure, as in the Pentagon, economic structure, as in WTC towers, and social structure, as in the nation of...

Do those last quotes of Brook make sense to you at all? When you hijacked my thread, you brought him up and what he has to say, so let's stay focused on that, and not drift to me.
