Objectivist Blogs
Last Update: August 23, 2009 - added Douglas Rudd
NOTE: Although I continue to update this page by request, it has long ago been surpassed by the comprehensive list of member blogs (login required) at the Atlasphere’s Ayn Rand Dating & Networking web site, which contains a directory of thousands of admirers of The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged.
Below is a growing, semi-official directory of Objectivist blogs. (You can access this page via objectivistblogs.com.)
More precisely, the following bloggers have a strong interest in Ayn Rand’s philosophy of Objectivism. Not all of these people would identify themselves as being “an Objectivist,” but to the best of my knowledge each agrees with the basic tenets of Rand’s philosophy, broadly defined: a reason-based epistemology, ethical individualism, and free market capitalism.
