It looks like the upcoming 2016 Ayn Rand Student Conference is going to be the largest student Objectivist conference ever. The conference’s theme is free will. But what exactly is free will? Does it even exist? How do you know? What’s the Objectivist perspective? And what implications, if any, does it have for how you live your life?
On October 29, ARI will be at AM 560 The Answer’s Freedom Summit Chicago 2016. Yaron Brook and Steve Simpson will start the conference with morning sessions, in which they present their radical Objectivist perspective on two of today’s most important issues; namely, the inequality debate and freedom of speech.
What is free will? Does it even exist? Does it matter? Last week Elan Journo previewed some of the topics to be covered at Ayn Rand Student Conference 2016.
