Philosophy: Who Needs It

“Now some of you might say, as many people do: ‘Aw, I never think in such abstract terms—I want to deal with concrete, particular, real-life problems—what do I need philosophy for?’ My answer is: In order to be able to deal with concrete, particular, real-life problems—i.e., in order to be able to live on earth.” Ayn Rand, Philosophy: Who Needs It
In this essay, Ayn Rand explains what philosophy is, why philosophy is relevant (and for whom).
