 | The Atlas Society Marks Its 20th Anniversary Posted by Ed Hudgins on 2/23, 3:20pm | |
| The Atlas Society Marks Its 20th Anniversary! On February 24, 1990, George Walsh and David Kelley stood before a crowded lecture hall in New York City to announce the birth of the Institute for Objectivist Studies, now named The Atlas Society.  (David Kelley, February 24, 1990) As the late Prof. Walsh pointed out in introducing Dr. Kelley's talk that evening, this was the first time in the history of Objectivist excommunications that the heretics did not simply walk away. Rather, it signaled the beginning of a new, independent, and open Objectivist movement, one that appreciates the fact that individuals must come to the truth in their own way and that takes a tolerant, rational attitude toward intellectual debate. Since that day, we have worked to eliminate from Objectivism the closed and dogmatic attitudes that had kept it from spreading its life-affirming message. In addition to the achievements of our organization over the past two decades, it is gratifying to see the many other initiatives-groups, websites, and publications-that have enriched this new movement. Mark our 20th anniversary by traveling back to that day with us: listen to Dr. Kelley's riveting presentation, with Prof. Walsh's introduction, now online in MP-3 audio format. | ||
