FROST Supper TalkCraig Biddle on "What Principles Are and Why We Need Them"
About the lecture: Mr. Biddle will present material from chapter one of his book in progress, "Good Thinking: The Science of Selfishness." He will examine the nature and need of principles, show that they are essential guides to good thinking, discuss the dual standard of validity and its significance with respect to principles, examine the relationship of principles and egoism, and discuss why acceptance of altruism proportionally precludes the possibility of principled thinking. The talk will be followed by a Q&A, during which Mr. Biddle will answer questions relating to this material and other aspects of his book. About the speaker: Craig Biddle is the editor of The Objective Standard and the author of Loving Life: The Morality of Self-Interest and the Facts that Support It. He is currently writing a book about the principles of rational thinking and the fallacies that are violations of those principles, which is tentatively titled "Good Thinking: The Science of Selfishness." Please join us for a sneak preview of Mr. Biddle's upcoming book!
