Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism is increasingly influencing the shape of the world from business and politics to achieving personal goals. Here, Leonard Peikoff--Rand's heir--explains how you can communicate philosophical ideas with conviction, logic, and, most of all, reason.

Peikoff teaches readers how to write, speak, and argue on the subject of philosophical ideas--ideas pertaining to profoundly important issues ranging from the question of the existence of God to the nature and proper limits of government power.
Including enlightening discussions of a wide range of Objectivist topics--such as the primacy of consciousness, the pitfalls of rationalistic thinking, and the true meaning of the word "altruism," as well as in-depth analysis of some of Ayn Rand's own writings--Peikoff's "Objective Communication "is essential reading for anyone interested in Ayn Rand's philosophy.

Based on a series of lectures presented by Peikoff, "Objective Communication" shows how to apply Objectivist principles to the problem of achieving clarity both in thought and in communication.
