Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The text criticizes Ayn Rand's egoism for assuming a false dichotomy between pure ethical egoism and pure ethical altruism. It argues that there are other ethical theories, such as ethical relationalism, that do not fall into either extreme and can provide a more nuanced view of how individuals can balance their own self-interest with the interests of others. The text does not argue that egoism would lead to selfish behavior or that it is inherently immoral.
