One of the best professors at Mt. SAC. He's straight-forward and loves his job. He guides his students into finding, and arguging for, their beliefs. The readings may be confusing; however, he will summarize their content so students are able to comprehend. Lectures always lead to discussions of current events. Interest in philosophy will soar.
