FTNCI 080: Objectivism Book Study (Week 22) — Objective Morality
Manage episode 370907303 series 1591037
The Objectivism Book Study met through 2022 to study Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand, by Leonard Peikoff.
Our reading in “Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand” this week was:
-The individual as the proper beneficiary of his own moral action 229-240
-Values as objective 241-244
We have come to the key idea in Ayn Rand’s ethics: Rational Egoism.
We are looking at the claim that “The individual is the proper beneficiary of his own moral action.”
This section is in many ways common sense. But the precise way of arguing is unique.
And some of Rand’s conclusions contradict ideas people accept as true today, especially within evangelical Christianity and other culture making institutions.
