Patrick Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 I am currently an undergraduate majoring in philosophy. My goal is to go to grad school, get a PhD, and begin an academic career. I want to teach philosophy as well as publish my own work. I have read every book ever published by Ayn Rand and I happen to agree with her on every philosophical issue - for this reason I consider myself an Objectivist.

Seems like you are off to a very good start, Patrick. What do you think of the philosophy courses you have taken so far at your university?

Patrick Posted May 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 So far, very little of what I have taken has been useful. I am still in the early stages of my education, however. I have over two years to go before I will apply to grad school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have over two years to go before I will apply to grad school. One reason I asked is that a good friend is a second-year student in philosophy and I was quite surprised to hear about some of his really good experiences. He is a very bright student and I was hoping to hear more examples of a positive nature emanating from undergraduate academia. I did not expect to hear good news, but I hoped for it.

Tryptonique Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 What school got the good review? [just total curiousity] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_speicher Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 What school got the good review? University of Massachusetts. It wasn't the school per se, but the few professors who made all the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
