Editorial : "Gotthelf joins scholarly rigor with firsthand knowledge of Rand's thought to provide a systematic introduction to Rand's philosophy, Objectivism. The result is absorbing rich with provocative ideas. The book serves as an excellent introduction to Rand's thought precisely because it is intellectually serious and incorporates substantial portions of Rand's reasoning."
"Gotthelf's illuminating account of Rand's epis-temology offers an intriguing point of entry as well as an object lesson on the relationship between epistemology and ethics. On Ayn Rand is a remarkable success. I can't think of a piece of writing that better conveys both the systematicity and the grandeur of Rand's thought than the last four pages of Gotthelf's book."

Ok, maybe people in Paris don't live in spaces like that - not all of them, anyway. While the work is a short exposition and not an exegesis of Rand's thought, it is threaded through with tantalizing acknowledgements of debts owed by Rand to other philosophers (mainly those owed to Aristotle). Further, Gotthelf's innovative formulations of familiar Objectivist concepts should defrost anyone's frozen abstractions. Ayn Rand is without a doubt one of the most underrated and neglected thinkers and Gotthelf's book goes a long way toward redressing this grievance, letting readers know what is there in Rand's works to help set the stage for further discussion and for fruitful criticism, and doing so in an objective and scholarly
