Says Rand, " The fundamental concept of method, the one on which all the others depend, is logic.

Thus, for Rand, the fact that consciousness must itself possess identity implies the rejection of both universal skepticism based on the " limits " of consciousness and any claim to revelation, emotion or faith based belief.

Rand summarizes: If chooses to live, a rational ethics will tell him what principles of action are required to implement his choice.
