Ignacio,it's not for the people who don't need it, those who have an explicit Philosophy for instance but,I think (as in my own instance)it's a Tool for those who picked up along the Road of Life,a Junk Heap Philosophy. I say Tool because the work is something of a Corridor,or long Hall,with many Doors exploring different logical conclusions to each of the past's Philosophys.at the end,as you know is John Galt's Speech,laying the Foundation of Ayn Rand's work, like a Carpet of empowerment proclaiming that:Man exists for his own sake,the first level of value,Slave to no Man, creator of all value;and the banishment of the Mystic Mind back to the Witch Doctor Huts from which the enslavers of mens minds first crawled.To release the Shackles,Religion, Altruism,Plato,Kant by exposing these sofistrys,these tricks, to the Light of Reason is her Gift,an Arsenal to protect the Value from the Evil,one which(as a Public School Student) I needed.for those who are born with a coherent Philosophy this work(Atlas)is redundant,move on to higher level abstractions; the level of sensations is the level of Muck,Junk,and Heaps. A Crutch is temporary;the Vaccine of Reason is a perminant Cure. IMHO
