  • Summary

  • We promote open Objectivism: the philosophy of reason, achievement, individualism, and freedom. Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism was set forth in such works as her epic novel Atlas Shrugged, and in her brilliant non-fiction essays. Objectivism is designed as a guide to life, and celebrates the remarkable potential and power of the individual. Objectivism also challenges the doctrines of irrationalism, self-sacrifice, brute force, and collectivism that have brought centuries of chaos and misery into the lives of millions of individuals. It provides fascinating insights into the world of politics, art, education, foreign policy, science, and more, rewarding you with a rich understanding of how ideas shape your world. Those who discover Objectivism often describe the experience as life-changing and liberating. Ayn Rand's philosophical works have been praised as presenting historic breakthroughs in thinking. At the Atlas Society, our scholars work to further develop this philosophy born in the mid-twentieth century. We present the empowering principles of Objectivism to a global audience, and offer those principles as a rational and moral alternative in the marketplace of philosophical ideas.

    We were so impressed by Ashley Rindsberg when he joined us back in 2022 to discuss his book The Gray Lady Winked: How The New York Times’s Misreporting, Distortions, and Fabrications Radically Alter History that we’re excited to have him back to discuss his analysis of what’s happened to Wikipedia, as explored in his recent article in The Free Press about how Wikipedia devolved from a formerly objective online encyclopedia to what he describes as a partisan project, where a handful of editors are reshaping history before our eyes.
