“The source of art lies in the fact that man’s cognitive faculty is conceptual–i.e., that man acquires knowledge and guides his actions, not by means of single, isolated percepts, but by means of abstractions.” Rand’s revolutionary correlation of esthetics and epistemology permeates this series of articles, reprinted from The Objectivist Newsletter and The Objectivist (1962–1971). Presented is a lovely first edition copy, with penciled underlings or notes on five pages, else fine in a very near bright fine jacket with only minor edge wear, protected in mylar. Perinn A8a.
