Reason. Achievement. Ethical Self-Interest: The pillars of a free, dynamic, and peaceful society.
The Atlas Society promotes 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.

We debate the new varieties of collectivism, the politics of “identity,” racial and other quotas in hiring and admissions, cancel culture, rioting and looting as political protest, and the degradation of the university. These are symptoms. The malaise is philosophical: Our civilization of modernism is being sacked; we live in the twilight of its ideals.
