" Rand argued in The Virtue of Selfishness, her nonfiction work on moral philosophy, that (i) one?s own life is logically the ultimate value because it makes all other values possible; that (ii) it is therefore irrational for a valuing being not to defend and further this life above all other values; and that (iii) this entails strong conclusions about the rightness ? actually, the moral necessity ? of living selfishly"
