I have been having a very lively exchange with several readers on my blog regarding the ethics of Objectivism versus the altruist/collectivist theory of morality. Since the discussion was getting seriously off track I’ve relocated the discussion to here, and I encourage the original commenters and anyone else to join the thread. I am still learning the philosophy of Objectivism but will argue from its stand point.
The original thread is here: http://ellis14.wordpress.com/2007/11/09/ok-ok-the-biggie-atheism-vs-theism/ If you’re new to the discussion I strongly recommend you read all the comments to date. This will prevent anyone having to repost something that has already been addressed.
I was unable to move all the comments because there were so many and they were rather circumlocutory. I will post my latest response as a comment below and we’ll take it from there…
