false 843433 13 Who needs philosophy? Ayn Rand's answer: Everyone. <P>This collection of essays was the last work planned by Ayn Rand before her death in 1982. In it, she summarizes her view of philosophy and deals with a broad spectrum of topics. According to Ayn Rand, the choice we make is not whether to have a philosophy but which one to have: rational, conscious, and therefore practical; or contradictory, unidentified, and ultimately lethal. Written with all the clarity and eloquence that have placed Ayn Rand's objectivist philosophy in the mainstream of American thought, these essays range over such basic issues as education, morality, censorship, and inflation to prove that philosophy is the fundamental force in all our lives. 717216 1982 Philosophy: Who Needs It total:383|5:119|4:110|3:95|2:38|1:21| 383 1417 586 20 2 0 false false Fri Apr 03 13:53:18 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 03 13:53:39 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Fri Jan 23 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 25 10:29:17 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 25 10:29:17 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Aug 31 07:16:55 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 31 07:34:39 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Mar 22 16:00:13 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 22 16:03:20 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1988 Sat Jan 31 17:57:14 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 31 17:57:14 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Jun 09 08:49:46 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 09 08:51:21 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Wed Sep 02 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 26 20:11:04 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 03 07:54:31 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jan 26 11:12:42 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 26 11:13:23 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Tue Jul 10 00:04:51 -0700 2007 Tue Jul 10 00:08:55 -0700 2007 That said, I did finally get some explanations to some questions I'd had ab...more...]]> 1 0 false false Thu Feb 19 09:09:45 -0800 2009 Fri Jun 19 18:24:35 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Jun 14 11:50:01 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 14 11:50:01 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Jun 15 13:51:39 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 15 13:53:39 -0700 2008 We all do.
