Customer Reviews
A great podcast
Philosophy is essential and required to truly define oneself. So far, I have seen no podcast that understands that more than this one. Keep up the good work!
Objectivism for Your Life
Diana Hsieh covers several important points of philosophy and shows how these can help you live a better life. She also has a virtual book club discussion for Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. She is more conversational and detailed than Leonard Peikoff but they both will give you lots to think about.
Great podcasts!
I love Dr. Diana Hsieh. Her voice is clear and pleasent to listen to. I hope that she continues to make podcasts on narrow areas of philosophy and the Objectivist stance on them. Her "arguments for the existence of God" podcasts were marvelous.
Thank you, Dr. Hsieh, for your extraordinary podcasts.
