Welcome to the June 21, 2012 edition of Objectivist Round Up!
This is the last time Erosophia will host as the Carnival as we know it is ending. I want to thank Jenn for her efforts with it over the years and to all of my fellow contributors and hosters who have made it so successful. For this week’s quote, I want to return to the essence of Objectivism. When asked one time to explain Objectivism “while standing on one foot”, Ayn Rand said that Objectivism is:
1. Metaphysics: Objective Reality
2. Epistemology: Reason
3. Ethics: Self-Interest
4. Politics: Capitalism
Without further ado, enjoy this week’s Carnival!
Darius Cooper presents The French Physiocrats on Natural Order posted at Practice Good Theory, saying, “I present a brief summary of the French Physiocrats”
Rational Jenn presents On Spanking and Limit-Setting and Keeping Kids Out of Traffic Already posted at Rational Jenn, saying, “This is my response to some recent internet discussions about spanking children.”
