About the New South Objectivists

Minimize

Objectivism is the philosophy of novelist and philosopher Ayn Rand.   Miss Rand's most important statement of Objectivism is found in her famous novel Atlas ShruggedThe primary source for additional information about Ayn Rand is the Ayn Rand Institute, and their site dedicated to her books, AynRandNovels.com.

The New South Objectivists is composed of people interested in studying and promoting her work in the Southeastern United States.

The opinions expressed on this web site are those of the author of each article, and should not be taken as authoritative statements of Ayn Rand's own views.  Although every effort is made to ensure that site content is consistent with the principles of Objectivism, our primary goal is to promote the study of Ayn Rand's work rather than limit the site to professional philosophers.  As such it is to be expected (especially in blogs and comments) that opinions will be stated here on issues that are not settled even among life-long students of Objectivism.  Any such opinions are the responsibility of the author of the statement -- not of Ayn Rand, and not of the administrators of this site.  The reader is urged to study the original works of Ayn Rand and to refer all issues of interpretation to her published statements.  We invite comment and discussion on whether the opinions stated here are consistent with the work of Ayn Rand, and the administrators reserve the right to remove any content that is incompatible with the purpose of this site.
