Explore Atlas Shrugged

Do you want to better understand and appreciate Ayn Rand's epic novel Atlas Shrugged? Explore Atlas Shrugged -- my in-depth course consisting of a podcast series, study questions, and other resources -- will help you do that.

Check out the free previews, then purchase access to the whole of Explore Atlas Shrugged for just $20.

The written materials of Explore Atlas Shrugged are also available from Amazon in paperback and kindle formats, and purchasers of those editions pay just $10 for access to the podcasts.

Responsibility & Luck

My first book, Responsibility & Luck: A Defense of Praise and Blame, is available for purchase in paperback and kindle formats.

Responsibility & Luck defends the justice of moral praise and blame of persons using an Aristotelian theory of moral responsibility, thereby refuting Thomas Nagel's "problem of moral luck."
