If you have read my Top 10 Lessons in Thinking, this is a deeper look. Again, the ideas are from Leonard Peikoff.
I sequenced this list so as to follow a flow. Enjoy!
Top 10 Lessons in Thinking
Here are my favorite principles of logic and reasoning, collected from Leonard Peikoff’s Objectivism: the Philosophy of Ayn Rand.
While these do stand on their own, they become most useful if you study them individually and in depth. For that, I recommend Peikoff’s book.
Communication Style
This blog is called If We Will Live. The tone is one of optimism and sincerity—for if we will live, we must choose to identify the path.
A few words on my style and intentions: I believe the words I write. I take a tone of certainty that comes from having logically integrated my own views into a coherent, reality-based whole. Since my purpose involves changing and teaching the reader, I plan to write on challenging and controversial topics. Guaranteed, my ideas will lead to disagreements.
Imagine the Possibilities
What’s the plan?
I write as a way of reaching out to others, and changing them.
What’s With The Title?
I titled my blog “If We Will Live” because I will talk about important matters—life, reason, and faith.
Not all people chose to fully live. Even for those who intend to live, not all paths lead to life. What is the way of life? That is my question. I answer that the way of life must be discovered.
