Objectivism: Can Selfishness Be Moral?

Objectivism: Can Selfishness Be Moral? aconteceu a 26 de novembro de 2024, Lisbon Law School, em Lisboa.

​In a world where morality is often equated with self-sacrifice, is it possible to uphold selfishness as a moral virtue? If we look at history, we have been offered the following alternative: be “moral” through a life of sacrifice to others—or be “selfish” through a life of sacrificing others to oneself. But what if this view of selfishness is a false alternative? Join Yaron Brook, a renowned free-market thinker and podcaster, for his talk: "Objectivism: Can Selfishness Be Moral?" In this talk, Dr. Brook will challenge conventional views on ethics, arguing that rational self-interest is not only compatible with morality but essential for human flourishing. ​Whether you're curious about philosophy, exploring new perspectives on morality, or passionate about living a principled life, this talk will spark fresh insights and challenge your views on morality. Don’t miss the chance to engage with one of the world's leading advocates of philosophy, reason and individualism! The event will be held at FDUL in Anfiteatro 6, with limited seating available.
