Tara Smith: Selfishness is a moral ideal

Ayn Rand’s moral philosophy often elicits strong reactions, yet it offers a unique perspective that resists being forgotten. In this SuperSalon, Dr. Tara Smith, philosophy professor specializing in Ayn Rand’s ethical thought, joined philosopher Arkadiusz Synowczyk to explore Rand’s ethics, based on her latest book, 'Egoism Without Permission: The Moral Psychology of Ayn Rand’s Ethics'.
Discussed topics include:
The nature of self-interest and its misinterpretations.
How Rand’s concept of rational self-interest contrasts with common views on morality.
The psychological underpinnings of Rand’s ethical system.
Practical implications of living by Ayn Rand’s principles of egoism.
