"The Sacred and the Profane: Objectivism and Religion" by Aaron Smith

Video Description

Why was Ayn Rand opposed to religion? What does Rand make of the notions of the sacred, of reverence, of worship, of the exalted? What is the difference between the ideals common to religions and the ideals projected in Rand’s fiction? Why does she think that man is a proper object of reverence? In this session, we discuss these questions from the perspective of Ayn Rand’s view of reason, of man, and of the world in which he lives. This talk was recorded at Objectivist Summer Conference 2018.
