Source: Freedom and Flourishing
by Dr. Edward W Younkins
“The pursuit of human flourishing — what Aristotle termed eudaimonia — stands as a central concern of both philosophical inquiry and economic science. At first glance, the Austrian economic tradition, with its emphasis on subjective value and methodological individualism, might appear incompatible with neo-Aristotelian philosophies like Ayn Rand’s Objectivism and Douglas B. Rasmussen and Douglas J. Den Uyl’s ‘individualistic perfectionism,’ which assert the objectivity of human values. Yet, upon deeper examination, these traditions reveal profound compatibilities and complementary insights that provide a more robust framework for understanding human freedom, social cooperation, and the conditions for prosperity.” (10/23/25)
