In Mr. Barney’s own words:

When I studied Dr. Peikoff’s courses almost 40 years ago, I was thrilled by the knowledge and delighted with the clarity, certitude, and wit of his delivery. I had taken hundreds of courses during my life, but none that compared to his. It is through them that I became an Objectivist. They changed my life…. That is why I am pleased to announce that Dr. Peikoff has given me permission to publicize and deliver worldwide his courses and lectures…. To the extent they are consulted, studied, and recommended to others, the world will be a better place for people to live.
We are proud now to make over forty of Dr. Peikoff’s courses and lectures freely accessible at this site in audio form and accompanied by educational materials, recommended courses of study, and other helpful information. Please note that, although Dr. Peikoff has authorized the use of his material for this site, he has neither seen nor approved the final product.
