Summary/Abstract: The article’s aim is to explain Ayn Rand’s ethics of rational self-interest and show that egoism endorsed by Rand is an alternative to other ethical systems. The first part focuses on a general description and definition of ethical egoism. The other parts contain: presentation of the objectivist meta-ethics (part 2), remarks on the objectivist normative ethics (part 3), Rand’s rejection of the “predatory” egoism (part 4), and the issue of helping others within the objectivist framework (part 5).
