5.0 out of 5 stars Systematic Objectivism, March 19, 2002

This review is from: Basic Principles of Objectivism (2 volume set) (Audio CD)

Nathaniel Branden's course was the first systematic presentation of Objectivism and is an excellent review of (or introduction to) Objectivism. Branden is clear and engaging, although a bit melodramatic at times. He talks in detail about some neglected but useful ideas, including associational thinking and social metaphysics. He also covers a fair amount of psychology, most of which can be found in his later works.
