Perennial Questions of Objectivism is an advanced 6-CD course which examines five of these seminal questions. In each lecture, the issue is formulated, the arguments for each side put forward, and the strengths of the standard responses from Objectivist literature are considered and evaluated. Each session concludes with lessons on philosophical methodology that affect the discussion. The final lecture is reserved for a brief review integrating course material, followed by audience questions.
This ia an advanced course, presupposing a solid understanding of Rand's philosophical writings and the secondary literature on Objectivism. The course is accompanied by a study guide, which outlines each lecture in detail and suggests materials for further study.
Lectures include: "Reason and Emotion," "Virtue and Self-Interest," "Survival vs. Flourishing," "Government vs. Anarchy," "Free Will vs. Determinism," and "Concluding Thoughts and Questions."
