The Fall 2015 edition of The Objective Standard features:

How To Raise a Life-Loving Child
Sarah Biddle and Craig Biddle
Shows how one basic principle applies to all aspects of parenting and raising a reality-oriented, independent-thinking, life-loving child.

A Dozen Great Books for Young Children
Daniel Wahl
A stroll through some of the best children’s books in print and a few out of print. If you have young children or know anyone who does, this is a gold mine.

The Cause of the Civil War According to Confederate Leaders
Richard Shedenhelm
Examines three strong threads of evidence that the primary cause behind southern secession was the desire to maintain the institution of chattel slavery.

The issue also features an interview with Amy Nasir, an Objectivist involved in local politics; reviews of The Wright Brothers, by David McCullough ; James Madison, by Lynne Cheney ; The Cloudspotter’s Guide, by Gavin Pretor-Pinney ; and The Forgotten Depression—1921, by James Grant ; in addition to articles from TOS Blog.

The Objective Standard is a quarterly journal of culture and politics written from an Objectivist perspective . The journal is based on the idea that for every human concern—from personal matters to foreign policy, from the sciences to the arts, from education to legislation—there 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 ; that the factual requirements of man’s life on earth determine his moral values; that the selfish pursuit of one’s 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 or other-worldly ; that truth is ultimately dictated by majority opinion or a “supernatural” being’s will; that democratic consensus or “God’s word” determines what is moral; that sacrifice for “the common good” or in obedience to “God’s 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.
