"Alles, was tief ist, liebt die Maske.” - Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil The Ortelian Society is Northeastern’s premier undergraduate society dedicated to Classical and heterodox thought. The OS devotes itself to the investigation of the heterodox ideas underexplored or altogether ignored by the wider liberal arts programs (including both the sciences and humanities; Darwin and climate change deserve as much opposition as the progressive orthodoxy underlying the humanities). Our aim is to cultivate genuinely independent thinkers who will grow into virtuous leaders.
