COS has multiple discussion groups that each meet once per month. In meetings, one or more members lead a discussion on an essay or other text that everyone read in advance. The discussion groups are dedicated to understanding and applying the principles of Objectivism, the philosophy of Ayn Rand. While COS members differ in the depth of their understanding of Objectivism, all are committed to understanding and applying the principles of Objectivism in their own lives. The focus of these study groups is *not* primarily politics (more details).Study Group
