The Objectivism Book Study met through 2022 to study Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand, by Leonard Peikoff.
Our reading this week was:
Is pride a good thing?
Yes and no.
Today we are looking at Ayn Rand’s understanding of pride as a virtue. We will compare this idea with Christian teaching.
After that discussion, we will to look at one major vice that Rand and Peikoff consider worthy of special investigation: the initiation of physical force.
