The Ayn Rand Institute (ARI) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the philosophy of Objectivism, which was developed by the author Ayn Rand. Founded in 1985, ARI focuses on educating the public about Rand's ideas, including rational self-interest, individual rights, and capitalism. The institute offers resources like lectures, publications, and educational programs to foster discussions around these concepts. Additionally, ARI works to influence public policy and culture through advocacy and outreach, aiming to create a society that values personal freedom and entrepreneurship as fundamental principles for human flourishing.
