This course builds on the foundation laid in Part 1, continuing the survey of Objectivism as an integrated philosophical system.
Its goal is to help you learn how to better understand and “chew” various principles of Objectivism and philosophical issues more generally. We will focus on some of the key principles of Objectivism, especially in ethics, metaphysics, and epistemology. And we will consider a bit of what Objectivism teaches about proper philosophical methodology.
A goal of the course is to reach a better grasp of the meaning of and interrelationships among some of Objectivism’s key principles, which will enable one to better apply the philosophy in one’s thinking and life.
