Even were Rand successful in deriving a social virtue such as justice purely from self-interest, is it the case that the only alternatives in helping are the specifics in duty-help v. esteem-help v. their mixture?

That brotherly love is reducible to rational animality, I do not question, only what is this rational animal that is you and me.
