Hello All,
The Rice Objectivism Club (ROC) is sponsoring its first event this semester on Thursday, Jan. 24th, at 7:30 p.m. in Fondren Library, Room 412. We are showing the video Introduction to Objectivism by Leonard Peikoff, a philosophy professor and associate of Ayn Rand’s for over thirty years. This video is a great introduction to the ideas Rand presents in her novels Anthem, The Fountainhead, and Atlas Shrugged.
Why come to this event? It will give you a chance to meet other people who admire Ayn Rand’s novels and want to learn more about her ideas. We also plan on having our first speaker event on Feb 7th. Dr. Andrew Bernstein will be giving a talk on Religion Vs. Morality. If you are unfamiliar with Ayn Rand’s philosophy, this video lecture will set the background for the upcoming speaker event as well as future events of the club. You can also find out about the college essay contest for Atlas Shrugged (with a $10,000 first prize with a deadline in Sept.) and get a coupon for a FREE copy of Atlas Shrugged. Watching this video may also help you in formulating your ideas for the essay contest. Plus, this gives you a chance to get involved at Rice outside of your classes.
I hope to see you at our first meeting. Please e-mail me should you have any further questions at rice.objectivism@hotmail.com
President,
