摘要

摘要：艾茵·兰德对“自私”和“自私”的争议性使用，与其说是为了说服人们接受她的哲学，不如说是为了给她的批评者提供“素材”，让人们远离她的哲学。简单地说，前者是一种高级抽象，是哲学的，主要是一种思维方式，而后者是一种低级抽象，不是哲学的，而是一种行为方式。它们也有不同的对比术语。

Selfish versus Selfish

ABSTRACT:Ayn Rand's controversial use of "selfish" and "selfishness" has arguably done as much or more to supply "grist" to her critics and drive people away from her philosophy than to persuade people to adopt it. This article is about her meaning of "selfish" and the common, popular meaning. Succinctly, the former is a high-level abstraction, philosophical, and mainly a way of thinking, whereas the latter is a low-level abstraction, not philosophical, and mainly a way of acting. They also have different contrast terms.
