The New Banner Institute emerged from a series of philosophical
seminars, first started in Columbia, South Carolina, in 1968, which
yielded extensive critical analyses of ‘Objectivism’, the philosophy
expounded by novelist-philosopher, Ayn Rand. The Institute was
founded in 1972 to extend that original work through a regularly scheduled series of seminars, An Introduction to Philosophic Inquiry.
Today the Institute also conducts intermediate and advanced series of
seminars in philosophic inquiry, where students, in Classical Greek and
Renaissance tradition, engage in open-forum discussion, logical analysis, and basic research in metaphysics, epistemology, ethics,
psychology, aesthetics, cognitive science, and early-childhood education. Principles are tested and practiced at the College of Early
Learning, where children of seminar participants prepare to enter the
twenty-first century as rational, productive, and proud advocates of a new Age of Reason.
