Online Discussion: Patents and Copyrights
Details
Join us for a focused online discussion on Ayn Rand’s essay, "Patents and Copyrights," which delves into the philosophical justification for intellectual property rights within the framework of her Objectivist philosophy.
In this essay, Rand challenges traditional notions and socialist critiques of intellectual property, arguing that the right to an invention or artistic creation is fundamentally a moral right stemming from the right to the product of one’s mind.
This session is essential for anyone interested in the intersection of philosophy, law, and economics, particularly as it relates to innovation and the digital age.
