The Great Courses
Self-Education Products from The Teaching Company
An important secondary theme of my book, Objectivism: Reality Anchored Principles, is to show any able human how to enrich their general knowledge well-beyond that of a university education and how to do that conveniently with great pleasure and little cost.
Furthermore, my book’s content and my ability to confidently write it were significantly enriched by The Great Courses, and that is why I write about them within my book. I submit that from these courses you can also earn much importantly valuable knowledge.
