Craig Biddle introduces the Fall 2018 issue of The Objective Standard, with articles by Andrew Bernstein and Timothy Sandefur, interviews with Mark Pellegrino and Jesse McCarthy, and much more.

This episode of “Facts, Values, and Flourishing” examines the basic values that support and advance human life, showing why they are both absolute and conditional.

We’ll look at some key implications of Ayn Rand’s derivation of life as the standard of value, and we’ll consider several objections to her approach and conclusions.

Philosophy conferences can be the beginnings of remarkably valuable friendships, opportunities, careers. TOS-Con 2018 will be. Don't miss it!

We’ll consider the fact–value dichotomy, Sam Harris’s failed effort to solve it, and how Ayn Rand derived moral principles from perceptual reality.

The deadline for online registration for TOS-Con 2018: Philosophy for Freedom and Flourishing is July 31—after which prices increase by 10%. We hope to see you at the most life-enhancing conference of the year.

Huge congratulations to all of these thoughtful, creative young people whose videos have won them full scholarships to TOS-Con 2018. And a massive thank-you to High Road Producers for funding these scholarships.

Craig Biddle introduces the Summer 2018 issue of The Objective Standard.

We just want to hear your views in your unique voice. And it’s okay if you’re camera shy. You need not spend 90 seconds in front of a camera—or any time in front of the camera.

I'll be speaking with Andrew Bernstein on Tuesday (May 15) at 8:30pm EDT / 5:30 PDT on Facebook Live. Tune in to learn more about Bernstein's TOS-Con 2018 presentation: "Independence Versus Collectivism in Ayn Rand’s Novels."
