The fifth annual meeting of the Advanced Seminar in Objectivist Studies will take place at Bentley College in Waltham, Massachusetts from June 25 to June 28, immediately preceding the TOC Summer Seminar.
The Advanced Seminar is a seminar where advanced students and scholars meet to discuss new scholarly work being prepared for publication. It offers participants the opportunity to take part in the exciting work being done at the frontiers of Objectivist theory and to hone their skills at philosophical analysis and argument.
Papers to be presented at the seminar are distributed in advance to all participants; seminar sessions themselves are devoted to critical discussion of the papers and responses from their authors. (Details on about this year's papers can be found in the Advanced Seminar program.)
The Advanced Seminar is offered free of charge to qualified students, including those presenting papers. Non-student participants pay only the cost of room and board for the three nights of the seminar. Admission is limited to qualified students and scholars in order to permit productive discussion. Applicants should possess a systematic understanding of Objectivism and a professional interest in developing and applying objective methods of philosophic analysis. Participants will be expected to prepare for the seminar by reading the seminar papers in advance and some participants may be requested to prepare comments on certain papers.
