Hi, I’m Craig. I help people to think clearly, live fully, and advance liberty.

I’m co-founder and editor in chief of The Objective Standard (TOS), a journal of philosophy and culture; co-founder and executive director of Objective Standard Institute (OSI), a nonprofit dedicated to teaching people about philosophy for freedom and flourishing; and host of Under Standing, a podcast about keeping our ideas connected to reality so they can serve our purposes in reality.

My books include Loving Life: The Morality of Self-Interest and the Facts that Support It; Rational Egoism: The Morality for Human Flourishing; and the forthcoming, Teen’s Guide to Loving Life. My book-in-progress is on thinking in principles.

I’ve published many essays in The Objective Standard, a selection of which can be found here. My personal Substack is Thinking in Principles, which includes some of my more experimental and technical writing.

In addition to writing and teaching, I speak on a variety of subjects including the philosophy of Objectivism, the morality of self-interest, the source and nature of rights, the science of selfishness, living purposefully, and thinking in principles. If you’d like me to speak at an event or be a guest on your show, message me here.
