Each topic is explored in a separate module featuring commentary from an expert on Rand’s ideas. The module on capitalism features Dr. Yaron Brook, the module on morality features Dr. Onkar Ghate, and the module on environmentalism features Dr. Keith Lockitch.
Ayn Rand was one of the 20th century’s most influential thinkers but also one of its most controversial. Why was she such a controversial figure? Because she was a radical: she challenges the roots of many long-held moral, political and philosophical ideas.
This interactive, documentary-style course will introduce you to Rand’s views by examining three of her most provocative ideas: her advocacy of laissez-faire capitalism; her conception of religion and morality; and her moral appraisal of environmentalism and industrialization.
