Stephen Hicks is my discovery of this year. I never thought that I would be listening lectures on philosophy in English (which isn`t my native language) and enjoy it more than any other kind of getting knowledge.

I read his EXPLAINING POSTMODERNISM in depth. It's amazing. he's a great writer and we need more rational thinking philosophy instead of ideologically motivated ones.

Stephen Hicks here living his gifts...What else did you consider doing for your career other than Philosophy? Hoping it wasn't law, but maybe. You value entrepreneurship or at least the role of the entrepreneur in history. I'm curious.
