The Objective Standard

Description

• The Objective Standard is a quarterly journal of culture and politics based on the idea that for every human concernfrom personal matters to foreign policy, from the sciences to the arts, from education to legislationthere are demonstrably objective standards by reference to which we can assess what is true or false, good or bad, right or wrong. The purpose of the journal is to analyze and evaluate ideas, trends, events, and policies accordingly.We maintain that the standards of both knowledge and value derive from the facts of reality; that truth is discovered only by means of reason (i.e., through observation and logic); that the factual requirements of mans life on earth determine his moral values; that the selfish pursuit of ones own life-serving goals is virtuous; and that individual rights are moral principles defining the fundamental requirements of a civilized society.We stand opposed to the notion that the standards of knowledge and value are not factual but subjective (feeling-based) or other-worldly (faith-based); that truth is ultimately dictated by majority opinion or a supernatural beings will; that democratic consensus or Gods word determines what is moral; that sacrifice for the common good or in obedience to Gods commands is virtuous; and that rights are social conventions or divine decrees.In stark contrast to these philosophic approaches, ours is a philosophy of reality, reason, egoism, and laissez-faire capitalism. In a word, we uphold Objectivism, the philosophy of Ayn Rand, and it serves as our frame of reference in analyzing the cultural and political issues of the day.
