Fortify your understanding of Ayn Rand’s “philosophy for living” by grounding its key principles in perceptual reality.

Objectivism is a philosophy for flourishing. But its use-value is only as good as your understanding of its principles.

Many fans of Rand have only a vague understanding of its principles; consequently, they can’t tap into the full power of the ideas to make their lives magnificent. Don’t stay there!

Leonard Peikoff’s course “Understanding Objectivism” is designed to provide you with a deep understanding of the ideas. And systematically discussing the lectures with OSI fellow Martin Hooss and a small group of critical thinkers will enable you to integrate the ideas even more effectively—and put them to immediate use in your life.

You’ll discuss:

• The role of philosophy in human life
• Why life is the standard of value
• The importance of principles
• The hierarchical nature of principles and Objectivism
• How Objectivism differs from intrinsicism and subjectivism
• How it differs from rationalism and empiricism
• The nature of emotions
• Moral judgment
• Intellectual honesty, and more.

This listening group assumes a basic understanding of Objectivism—and it will help you achieve a powerful understanding.
