The Virtue of Selfishness

Details

What is morality, or ethics? Why do we need a code of morality, and what should it teach us? How can selfishness be a virtue? Join us in Coeur d'Alene to discuss Ayn Rand's answers to these questions according to her philosophy of Objectivism - a philosophy for living on Earth.

This month we will begin our discussion of Ayn Rand's ethics as presented in the book The Virtue of Selfishness. This month's readings are the Introduction and the essay The Objectivist Ethics.

If you do not have the book, you can get a free electronic copy from the Ayn Rand Institute here: Free eBooks , or purchase a physical copy here: The Virtue of Selfishness.

Whether you have read all of Ayn Rand’s works or none of them, whether you are a beginner or already have an advanced understanding, if you are interested in the impact of ideas on our culture and in your own life, you are welcome to take part in the discussion.

In case you cannot make it to the library, the meeting will also be accessible via Zoom. If you plan to attend via Zoom, please join the meeting a little early so we can make sure everything is working for you.
