      ab: The article offers the author's insights on what is considered as the ultimate value, relating ethics according to philosopher Ayn Rand. The author reflects on Rand's suggestion that life is the ultimate value and a thing worth having. He highlights Rand's appeal to the dependence relationship of values with life by discussing her epistemology. He argues on the claim that life is the ultimate value due to the duality of its meaning, such as the purpose of valuing and practical reasoning.
