In this episode of “Facts, Values, and Flourishing,” 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.

Among other things, we’ll consider the link between life-based values and the principle of egoism, how Rand’s derivation of an objective standard of value begins to solve the problem of human sacrifice, and why a commitment to integration is essential to following this vital train of thought.

Tune in for new videos each week at 9:00 PM Eastern Time on either Facebook or YouTube. And let your friends know about the series. They can catch up on missed episodes at either link. —Craig Biddle
