I have been a software entrepreneur and executive, co-founded a successful company and worked for many years as a Chief Technical Officer. I studied literature, history, economics and philosophy at York University, hold an undergraduate degree in History from McGill University, and earned a graduate degree from the University of Toronto, focusing on the history of philosophy. I received an 'A' for my Master's Thesis analyzing the political implications of the philosophies of Immanuel Kant, G.W.F. Hegel, Thomas Hobbes and John Locke. I also spent two years studying writing and acting at the National Theatre School of Canada.</p> <p style="font-size: small; line-height: 18px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #333333; padding-top: 5px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px;">I have been fascinated by philosophy - particularly moral theories - since my mid-teens. I left my career as a software entrepreneur and executive to pursue philosophy full time through my work here at Freedomain Radio. I have written a number of novels as well as many free books on philosophy.</p> <p style="font-size: small; line-height: 18px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #333333; padding-top: 5px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px;">In my podcasts and videos, I try to avoid opinions, and instead talk about proof and rationality. If the theories I propose are reasonable, and are supported by evidence, well and good, we have both learned something. If not, listeners such as you are quick to point out errors, which I receive with gratitude. This approach is fundamentally different from most "talk shows." I am a rigorous philosopher, and I will always bow to reason and evidence.</p> <p style="font-size: small; line-height: 18px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #333333; padding-top: 5px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px;"><em>The only freedom is freedom from illusion...</em></p>
