studentofobjectivism Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 (edited) Hi all. I am writing a manifesto for my 10th grade English class. I was wondering if you all could comment on the outline's structure, does it present the ideas clearly enough,etc...? Any replies would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

realitycheck44 Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 You need to clarify point 4, b, ii. The origional theme to point 4, b is : One must never live for the sake of another ManHowever, later you say: So if a man’s wife is drowning he cannot save her? Wrong. A Man can live for someone else, such as his wife, his mother, etc. A man can forfeit his life for them if that is his highest value. However, it is not a moral duty to do so This appears to contradict what you said above. I know it doesn't, but it appears to. What you mean to say is that one is allowed to die for a value if one can no longer go on living without it. By living, I mean living happily. The rest seems good. If you allow me to look at the final draft before it's due, I will see if I can do anything. Zak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thanks for the comments, I really appreciate it from fellow Objectivist high school students (I thought I was the only one!).
