The Objectivism Seminar
Engaging the Philosophy of Ayn Rand

Welcome to The Objectivism Seminar, a weekly online conference call to systematically study the philosophy of Objectivism via the works of prominent Rand scholars! These moderated one-hour sessions are recorded and podcast to allow review, catch-up, and even disconnected participation. 

Below you will find the upcoming session schedule, formed using community input. (You can visit our communication resources page for more information about how to help us choose topics, as well as how to join the live sessions and participate in our new open discussion email list.)

Please see our site FAQ to learn more about what the Seminar is, how it works, and how to participate! 


Upcoming Session Schedule

Please join the live sessions from our TalkShoe Page as we work through essays drawn from Rand's nonfiction anthologies (1,2,3,4,5,6,7), Robert Mayhew's scholarly collections of essays on Rand's novels (1,2,3,4), and articles published in The Objective Standard journal. (A good amount of the material is also available free online.)
