Reason vs. Altruism: The Battle for Moral Truth | Craig Biddle

from Conversations with Peter Boghossian · host Peter Boghossian

Craig Biddle makes the case that Objectivism is not simply Ayn Rand's philosophy but the only philosophically defensible foundation for individual rights, reason, and a free society. Peter Boghossian pushes back, probing the epistemological claims, the treatment of altruism, and whether a closed system can survive genuine philosophical scrutiny. What emerges is a collision between a defender of a complete moral framework and a skeptic who refuses to let any idea off the hook. If you think philosophy is abstract, this conversation will change your mind. More From Craig Biddle YouTube Twitter Website Follow Peter Boghossian for more.
