Manchester Ayn Rand Meetup

Is reality objective and knowable, or a product of subjective experience? Can contradictions exist in objective reality? Does the universe operate according to fixed laws, or according to chance and unpredictability?

How does Rand's metaphysics provide a foundation for her ethical and political views?

Join us to explore Ayn Rand's radical view of existence, causality, and the nature of consciousness. We'll discuss her unwavering commitment to reason and her rejection of all forms of mysticism.

Suggested reading ahead of the discussion is Ayn Rand's essay, "The Metaphysical Verses the Man-Made," which can be found in her book, "Philosophy: Who Needs It?" The essay can also be found at the link below:

We will meet in Manchester Central Library's Cafe. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Delve into the core tenets of Laissez-Faire Capitalism and its intricate relationship with Individual Rights through the lens of Ayn Rand's powerful political philosophy.

This engaging discussion will explore the fundamental principles of a free-market economy, examining concepts such as limited government, private property rights, and the pursuit of individual economic freedom. We will also delve into Ayn Rand's unique perspective, analyzing how her philosophy of Objectivism champions individual rights as paramount and how these rights intersect with and underpin a system of laissez-faire capitalism.

Join us for a thought-provoking session as we unpack complex ideas, consider potential benefits and challenges, and foster a deeper understanding of this influential political and economic viewpoint. Whether you're familiar with Ayn Rand's work or new to these concepts, this event promises to spark intellectual curiosity and encourage lively debate.

Recommended reading for the discussion is Ayn Rand's essay "Man's Rights" from her book "Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal." The text of the essay is available at the link below:
