Logos Forum - 'Is it ok to put yourself first?'

Please get your ticket! This event is fully catered, so we need good numbers to ensure there’s plenty of food for all attendees.

Join us for an engaging evening as three speakers explore egoism and self-interest from philosophical, psychological, and faith-based perspectives. The panel will examine whether self-interest is a moral failing, a rational virtue, or simply part of human nature. Expect thoughtful talks, lively discussion, and plenty of time for audience Q&A.
