Foundations of a Free Society brings together some of the most knowledgeable Ayn Rand
scholars and proponents of her philosophy, as well as notable critics, putting them
in conversation with other intellectuals who also see themselves as defenders of capitalism
and individual liberty. United by the view that there is something importantly right--though
perhaps also much wrong--in Rand's political philosophy, contributors reflect on her
views with the hope of furthering our understandings of what sort of society is best
and why. The volume provides a robust elaboration and defense of the foundation of
Rand's political philosophy in the principle that force paralyzes and negates the
functioning of reason; it offers an in-depth scholarly discussion of Rand's view on
the nature of individual rights and the role of government in defending them; it deals
extensively with the similarities and differences between Rand's thought and the libertarian
tradition (to which she is often assimilated) and objections to her positions arising
from this tradition; it explores Rand's relation to the classical liberal tradition,
specifically with regard to her defense of freedom of the intellect; and it discusses
her views on the free market, with special attention to the relation between these
views and those of the Austrian school of economics
