Inside A Companion to Ayn Rand - Jason G. Rheins by aynrandinstitute published on 2016-09-15T16:09:42Z A Companion to Ayn Rand, edited by Gregory Salmieri and the late Allan Gotthelf and recently released as part of the prestigious Blackwell Companions to Philosophy series, is the “first volume to offer a comprehensive scholarly treatment of Rand’s entire corpus (including her novels, her philosophical essays, and her analysis of the events of her times).” In order to highlight the unique value of the Companion, ARI fellow Don Watkins interviewed several of the volume’s authors about their contributions. In this installment, Jason G. Rheins, assistant professor of philosophy at Loyola University Chicago, discusses the chapter he authored, “Objectivist Metaphysics: The Primacy of Existence.”
