Good course with some caveats

“I rate these lectures 4 stars with some caveats. First the energy and clarity of the presentation are superb. The first half of the course was outstanding. The main focus was does there exist a soul within a person. Dr. Kagen examines the issue from all sides including what previous philosophers such as Plato thought. The second half of the course was only mediocre. After assuming the materialistic/naturalistic starting point, the search for the value of human life was muddled. Dr. Kagen frequently used phrases such as “it seems to me that …”, “that doesn’t seem right” and “it appears to me”. There didn’t seem to be any foundation of objective human values. He doesn’t address the relativistic approach. Maybe "it seems to me" is relative. It appears that the materialistic worldview can never lead to objective values.”

“This course was very captivating and eye opening. I think of life and death in an entirely new light now. Kagen is very enthusiastic and does an excellent job considering many different angles of the same situation and explaining each one of them step by step.”

“Have just started reading Ernest Becker, and this was a great "companion" lecture to listen to in light of Becker's theories. Dr. Kagan is an energetic and dynamic speaker who keeps your attention, even in an audio lecture. I am very glad I found this series, and I enjoyed each lecture immensely.”
