Customer Reviews
Great!!
Good information on important figures of philosophy that my college didn't cover.
One of the best podcasts
Covering history of philosophy very good and taching somethings that I could't find anywhere.
Amazing task
Peter Adamson has set for himself the astounding goal of covering western philosophy without any gaps. If completed, this should provide several years of interesting and educational podcasts. If and when it is completed it will stand as an important, historic document. It is off to a great start. I've already learned things that two years of philosophy in college didn't bother to cover. Any fan of the subject of philosophy should check this one out.
