Here are this week’s episodes from the Objectivism related podcasts I try to listen to. They are all great sources of information and insight on applying objectivist principles to everyday life.
- Free Market Revolution: The Regulatory State and Its Victims
Philosophy in Action with Dr. DIana Hsieh
- Keeping secrets
- Choosing an ultimate end
- Studying history
- Moral blacks and whites
- Rapid fire question on the government shutdown
Dr. Leonard Peikoff’s Podcast – Episode 289
- Giving an unearned passing grade because of pressure from university administration due to donations of the student’s parents
- Why is Iago an excellent example of a nihilist instead of someone like a James Taggart in Atlas Shrugged?
- Who is more despicable, criminals who initiate acts of aggression or the pacifists who condemn retaliatory violence?
- Should the act of cutting off a man’s penis be a capital offense?
- I am no longer in love with my wife and want to get a divorce but I am worried fear she will be become violent an harm herself or me if I do so.
If this is not enough for you to listen to, I’d also suggest checking out the Ayn Rand Institute eStore. They have a pretty large selection of lectures available for purchase to download. I find the prices pretty reasonable, most costing less than $5.00 though a few of the longer ones are around $10 (for example I just downloaded a lecture on communication by Leonard Peikoff which was $9.24 for 25 hours of content.)
I am currently listening to “The History of America – Part 1: Prelude to the Revolution, 1607-1763” by Eric Daniels. It is fascinating listening. I am just about finished the 5 portion of this (there are 5 1.5 hour talks in this lecture series) and I have Part 2 all set to go.
