With bold clarity and unflinching reason, Bernstein defends individualism, moral objectivity, and heroic values in an age of increasing irrationalism…. This book is a call to arms for rational minds…a must read for anyone seeking to live thoughtfully, freely, and heroically.”—Edward W. Younkins, PhD, Professor of Accountancy and Business, Wheeling University “Within these captivating pages you will find provocative chapters that showcase the dazzling scope of Aristotle’s genius; that dissect the failures of American education; that reconsider Orwell’s prescient warnings in 1984; that honor the heroic rebellions of unsung American slaves; that compare the great novels of Hugo, Rand, and Dostoyevsky...and much more. Andrew Bernstein has dished up an intellectual feast for all of us hungry for independent thinking.”—Robert Bidinotto, bestselling author of Hunter and A Rebel in Eden“In the battle for a culture of reason and freedom, the most important voices are those that go to philosophic fundamentals—the ideas that underlie and give rise to life-serving moral principles such as independent thinking, productiveness, justice, and individual rights. Dr. Andrew Bernstein is among these voices, and this collection of his essays is vital to the battle.”—Craig Biddle, Editor in Chief, The Objective Standard
