 The Objectivist Studies series publishes scholarly monographs that critically examine and develop Objectivism, the philosophy originated by Ayn Rand. Objectivism is a secular worldview that stresses reason, individualism, respect for achievement, and political liberty. Because Objectivism is a systematic philosophy with substantive positions in metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, aesthetics, and politics, the monographs published in this series may address any or all of these fields.
Each volume centers on an extended essay addressing an aspect of Objectivism. Beginning with Objectivist Studies Number 3, the standard format for the series is to publish alongside the title essay substantial commentaries by scholars knowledgeable about the issues being addressed. Each volume concludes with a reply by the author, resulting in a book-length exchange of ideas that explores the richness of Objectivism as a distinctive philosophical perspective.
Because Objectivism is committed to a fact-based approach to philosophy, Objectivist Studies is interdisciplinary, welcoming contributions both from philosophers and from scholars specializing in fields other than philosophy where their research bears on principles of Objectivism. The series holds scholars to a high standard of competence and integrity, but does not demand conformity to any credo other than the fundamental standards of scholarship from its contributors.
Scholars interested in contributing to Objectivist Studies either as lead authors or commentators are invited to contact the series editor.
