We are told that we cannot trust our senses, that logic is arbitrary, that concepts have no basis in reality. \u003cb\u003eAyn Rand\u003c\/b\u003e opposes that torrent of nihilism, and she provides the alternative in this eloquent presentation of the essential nature--and power--of man's conceptual faculty. She offers a startlingly original solution to the problem that brought about the collapse of modern philosophy: the problem of universals. This brilliantly argued, superbly written work, together with an essay by philosophy professor \u003cb\u003eLeonard Peikoff\u003c\/b\u003e, is vital reading for all those who seek to discover that human beings can and should live by the guidance of reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn February 2, 1905, \u003cb\u003eAyn Rand\u003c\/b\u003e published her first novel, \u003ci\u003eWe the Living\u003c\/i\u003e, in 1936. \u003ci\u003eAnthem\u003c\/i\u003e followed in 1938.
