With Charity Toward None: An Analysis of Ayn Rand's Philosophy

by William F. O'Neill

Overview

An in-depth and evenhanded examination of Ayn Rand’s philosophy as expressed in her novels and nonfiction writings.

In With Charity Toward None, William F. O’Neill addresses the fundamentals of objectivism and the full meaning of an objectivist point of view. He delves into the social implications of putting such a philosophy into action. Neither fawning nor dismissive, O’Neill forgoes the popular controversy surrounding Rand, focusing instead on rational and semantic analysis of her work.

Divided into two major sections, the first part of this book summarizes the three basic areas of Randian philosophical inquiry: (1) knowing and the known, (2) personal value and the nature of man, and (3) the ethics of objectivism. The second part consists primarily of a critical analysis of the ideas presented in the earlier pages.
