Objective Laws — Principles of a Free Society
Objective laws are laws that confine government to its one legitimate function: protecting individual rights. Laws must be objective in both form and substance. In form, the law must allow each individual to know, before taking any action, what conduct is illegal, why it is forbidden, and what will be the penalty for violation. In substance, the law must forbid only such private conduct as violates the individual rights of others. Laws against murder, for example, satisfy both requirements.This 75-minute lecture by Leonard Peikoff is a brief introduction to the philosophy of Objectivism. Following the lecture, Dr. Peikoff answers questions from the students. Dr. Peikoff is Ayn Rand’s legal and intellectual heir. He was a close associate of Ayn Rand for 30 years until her death in 1982, and is today the pre-eminent authority on Objectivism.
