Update: Thanks to sponsor generosity, some travel stipends for students now available.
A five-day seminar this summer; June 24-28 at the University of Illinois, Springfield, on the philosophy originated by Ayn Rand. Join professors William Kline (Business), Carrie-Ann Biondi (Philosophy), Richard Salsman (Politics and Economics), and me (Philosophy).
We will give three talks each and participate in additional panels, debates, Socratic sessions, informal discussion, and social events at night. Springfield is the Illinois State capitol and Abraham Lincoln’s hometown and where he spent much of his professional life, so there’s an excellent museum and more.
My talks will be: “You Are the Entrepreneur of Your Life,” “Objectivity and Creative Thinking,” and “Ayn Rand on Racism.” More information about Dr. Biondi’s, Dr. Salsman’s and Dr. Kline’s talks are in the program.
The seminar is free to all those accepted, and room and Board is free for all university students and Class of 24 graduating high school seniors. Also, as noted above, some travel stipends for students are available.
(Those who are not students will need to provide for their own hotel accommodations and pay for their meals.) Co-sponsored by UIS, the Academy on Capitalism, and the Center for Ethics and Entrepreneurship.
