    Making abstract ideas practical
  

*by C***E on Reviewed in the United States on 16 September 2017*

Do you ever get uneasy when trying to connect abstract ideas to practical reality? If so, this is the book for you. Tara Smith is an excellent transmitter of Ayn Rand's ideas. Her presentation is clear, rational, and engaging. In Normative Ethics, she discusses each of the seven primary virtues from Rand's Atlas Shrugged. She traces their roots and demonstrates their applicability in various examples with different contexts. Each virtue is tied to reality and viewed from the context of how it affects your life.She also discusses other traits that are commonly referred to virtues and offers her analysis on their merits.Overall, the supreme value in this book is showing you the reader why philosophy is important. Why the ideas behind ethics can shape man's mind to act in a way that leads to success and happiness in action.If only other philosophies presented their ethics in such a clear manner. Highly recommend!

    Highly Recommend
  

*by B***C on Reviewed in the United States on 12 September 2017*

I thought this was an excellent distillation and presentation of Ayn Rand's ethical philosophy. Smith puts it all together in one place and presents it in a very logical and well thought out manner. She correctly points out that much of what is assumed an ethical theory is just that – assumed but not supported or justified. I thought this was a great book and highly recommend it.

    A Life Changing Book
  

*by P***S on Reviewed in the United States on 13 April 2019*

Ayn Rand was an able genius who created "A Philosophy for Living on Earth" and my life has been measurably improved by a richer understanding of how Aristotle suggested we achieve happiness!  Well worth the cost and I'll read it again!
