Objectivism 101

Introduction

Welcome to the Introduction to Objectivism information page ! This course is an accessible, challenging, and rigorous introduction to the philosophy of reason. We will explore the subjects of reason (with two extensive examples), ethics (with an emphasis on relationships with others), and politics.

Some problems with beginners to Objectivism will be particularily discussed, such as :

* How does reason work ? What are some rational principles you can use in daily life ?
* Does God exist ?
* How do we evaluate an action in its context ?
* Why is being kind to others a rational thing to do ?
* Why does economical freedom help society progress ?

And more.

There is no filler or historical digressions on this course : every lesson is jam-packed with simple explanations and numerous examples to help your understanding.
