Ayn Rand’s fiction has been the most effective “gateway drug” to liberty, which is why CATO Institute founder Ed Crane deemed Rand the “all time greatest recruiter for the liberty movement.”
THE CHALLENGE: How to preserve and grow that recruiting role when daily reading of books among young people has fallen from 70% in the late 1970’s to 12% today?
The Atlas Society is meeting this challenge: pioneering artistic, technologically savvy ways of marketing Rand’s ideas to new audiences through a variety of vehicles. This includes animated videos, graphic novels, social media, and both virtual and live events.
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.
Our content and our world-class faculty of scholars promote the principles of Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism, 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.
The Atlas Society’s mission is to inspire people to embrace reason, achievement, benevolence, and ethical self-interest as the moral foundation for political liberty, personal happiness and a flourishing society.
We build on Ayn Rand’s works and ideas and use artistic and other creative means to reach and inspire new audiences. We promote an open and empowering brand of Objectivism; we welcome engagement with all who seek to understand the philosophy, and we use reason, facts, and open debate in the search for truth above all else; we do not appeal to authority or conflate personalities with ideas.
私たちは、さまざまなプログラムを通じて、このような取り組みを行っています。
アトラス・ソサエティは、1990年にデイヴィッド・ケリーによって「客観主義研究所」として設立されました。研究所設立時の声明（『The Contested Legacy of Ayn Rand』に掲載）で、デイビッド・ケリーは、博愛的で合理的な人生観を特徴とする、オープンで知的寛容な目的論運動を呼びかけました。今日、アトラス・ソサエティは、この運動の中心的存在となっている。しかし、すべての客観主義者やアイン・ランドを敬愛する人々がケリー博士のビジョンに賛同しているわけではなく、客観主義運動は、激しく、しばしば個人的な相違や議論によって、それ自体に対して分裂し続けています。このセクションでは、客観主義のオープンかつ慈悲深いアプローチを説明するリソースを提供し、私たちのプログラムや作品に向けられた批判への回答を提供します。
