| Objectivism & Philosophy |
| Easily the best reference center that I know of on Ayn Rand and Objectivism. However, for an invaluable, indepth understanding of Objectivism's content and its radical method, nothing beats Leonard Peikoff's lecture course, Understanding Objectivism. |
| The first -- and to my knowledge, still the only -- bona fide academic journal on Ayn Rand's ideas, founded and edited by leading Rand scholar Chris Mathew Sciabarra. On a related note, the journal Reason Papers is now also online, with archives of past issues. |
| An essay I wrote dating to mid-2005 (submitted to, but rightly declined in present form by, JARS), this should be regarded as only a rough outline or initial preview - requiring considerable beefing-up, development, or revision - of a larger, more ambitous project. |
| One of the brightest minds influenced by Ayn Rand. His journal articles "Against Agent-Neutral Value" (PDF) and "On the Fit Between Egoism and Rights" (PDF) are representative works now online. |
| One of the cross-disciplinary shining lights in contemporary neo-Aristotelian, neo-Randian thought. "Capsule credo: The libertarians are right about economics and politics; the Greek philosophers are right about everything else." Close enough. |
| Written by George Reisman. Certainly an under-mentioned work in the pro-capitalist canon, it's an essential companion piece to Ludwig von Mises' Human Action. Also a companion site to praxeology.net for the cross-disciplinary-integration approach. |
| I had a link here for a few years endorsing The Objectivist Center as representative of open inquiry and intellectual tolerance, but Diana has dissuaded me from the notion that TOC is specifically deserving of mention in this regard. Read her instead. |
| An organization of professional philosophers who take seriously Ayn Rand's ideas. Find out who are some of the people in academia promoting the spread of Rand's ideas. |
| Lots of good stuff to find in here related to philosophy and other assorted matters. Rob isn't an Objectivist but has had enough exposure to it to make some tough criticisms of the philosophy. |
