Egoism, Individualism, Collectivism

Hey everyone!

We're hosting yet another amateur philosophy meetup, and we'd love for you to join us! This time, we're diving into some thought-provoking ideas about Egoism, Individualism, and Collectivism.

Here's a quick breakdown:

Egoism: the idea that our actions are motivated by self-interest.
Individualism: the view that individual rights are paramount.
Collectivism: the opposite view, where the group's needs come first.
We’ll also be looking at Ayn Rand’s perspective on morality. She believed that morality should teach us to pursue our own happiness and self-interest — a pretty radical take! In her philosophy, Objectivism, she argues that because we don’t have an automatic guide to what’s good or bad, we need to figure it out to live a fulfilling life. In her words, life itself is "an end in itself."

Curious to explore these ideas? Join us for a lively discussion!
