Welcome to the August 25, 2011 edition of the Objectivist Round Up. I’m filling in this week as an emergency host, so forgive me for not sending out reminder e-mails earlier.
Today’s quote is brought to you from Nietzsche. Although he and I understand it differently, he phrases it so beautifully:
Egoism is the very essence of a noble soul.
There is a beauty in the writing of Nietzsche that is all too lacking in many other philosophers. It is a shame that there is not also more truth.
Without further ado, here is this week’s carnival!
