Boulder Campus Talk by Craig Biddle
Date: November 3rd, 2005
Time: 7:30 pm
Location: Math 100, University of Colorado at Boulder
Craig Biddle on "Ayn Rand's Morality of Selfishness" Ayn Rand's morality of selfishness, or rational egoism, is the only morality that is conducive to human life, personal happiness, and social harmony. It is the only moral code that provides people with a system of principles to guide their choices and actions in pursuit of their life-serving goals and values--from career, to love life, to friendships, to recreational activities. And it is the only moral code that provides an objective foundation for the protection of individual rights--and thus for the establishment and maintenance of a fully free, fully civilized society. This talk introduces the principles of rational egoism, concretizes them with real-life examples, and shows why everyone who wants to live happily and freely needs to understand and embrace them.
Craig Biddle is a popular Objectivist speaker and writer on ethical and epistemological issues. He is the author of Loving Life: The Morality of Self-Interest and the Facts that Support It. He is currently writing a book on the principles of rational thinking. This lecture was free and open to the public. Craig Biddle also spoke on "Living Purposefully" at FROST on November 5th, 2005. |
