Hi Peter, can’t find these episodes. Any hope?

I’ve been listening to this podcast from the beginning and it has been of the highest order—which should be expected of anyone familiar with the History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps.

A great resource for anyone trying to break away from the exclusivity and tunnel vision of the traditional western mindset

This is an outstanding introduction to nonwestern philosophies. As a longtime student of Buddhist and Chinese philosophies, I’m highly impressed by the depth and care that have gone into the initial series of episodes on the philosophies of India. Unfortunately, beg and implore as I have, my...Read full review »

A bit more on the different schools of Buddhist thought would have been nice, but overall this is amazing.

No one else is giving us such a deep dive into the history of slavery and black American Philosophy. I learn names I was never taught in school, and philosophical arguments that have new relevance in a time when the legacy of slavery is re-emerging into the national political consciousness....Read full review »

really looking fwd to getting stuck into this. i absolutely abhor the racist ‘sub-saharan’ designation. hellenic & mesopotamian myth/religion philosophy all began as oral. colonialism eradicated traditional writing forms. kenya for example had a script called ‘gichandi’ & with it the...Read full review »

The series of Indian and Afrikana philosophy are very interesting
123jayjayjay123 via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 07/22/19
One of the first podcast series I listened to thoroughly, this gem of a podcast offers succinct and nuanced insights into the basic tenets of Indian philosophy, a whirlwind but collected tour of one of the richest intellectual traditions of the ancient world. It actually spurred my interest in...Read full review »

Interesting, funny, and also Peter Adamson is a star and a darling, in addition to being a gentleman and a scholar
Marco600 via Apple Podcasts · Poland · 04/23/19
A great narrative history that has just as much competition and twists and turns as any political history (History of Rome, History of England, etc.), but it's a competition of the mind and ethics. Plus, for us westerners, it's refreshing to hear about a lineage of thought outside the...Read full review »

Prof. Adam is such a genius!
LMU_Sophie_Art_History_Student via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 08/30/18
What is the best way to live? What is the nature of reality and self? What is the role of language and semantics in shaping our reality? What is the source of this knowledge? These questions have always perplexed human kind and this podcast gave me an idea of the different philosophies and...Read full review »

This combines multi-disciplinary inquiry with approachable presentation. One ends up seeing once again how much more there is to Africa.
Murfmensch via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/25/18
highly informative and intelligible; more than just an introduction both Indian and African philosophy
BillH16 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/25/18
Introducing the philosophies of ancient Indian thought with a mental perspicuity that leaves the listener impressed and (mentally) breathless: our host is back, explaining past syllogisms as easily as taking a walk in the park. Wonderful!

The puns make the podcast less heavy. The interviews with experts can be dense at times. It gave interesting new perspective to Indian history to me despite being Indian.
Bhaumikkumar via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 12/29/17
A must subscribe channel for any philosophy lover.
abdheen via Apple Podcasts · India · 09/29/17
This is a wonderful podcast and much needed to help guide through philosophy in India. In particular a great help for those interested in learning -- in context - about the development of Buddhism.
Divine Madman via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/30/17
Enjoying this so far, easy to understand; even coming from a western, non philosophical, secular background. Looking forward to more to come.

I would highly recommend this podcast. It's both academic and engaging. Clearly a lot of time and research when into creating this podcast. Thank you for creating this.Read full review »

Very informative indeed
Ranjininamboodiri12 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/19/16
Wonderfully narrated, although subject matter can be a bit heavy and requires concentration.
Gajakadosth via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/30/16
I have no significant previous experience with the material, so I cannot comment as to accuracy, but it certainly seems informative and decently entertaining to me.
MikeRT10 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/26/16
I think this is a great standalone podcast, although most listeners are listening to it as a companion podcast to the original HoP podcast there isn't really any crossover so you don't need any prior knowledge of philosophy. The one star reviewer claims it is inaccurate and, though I have...Read full review »

I couldn't think of a worse introduction to Bhagavad-Gita than this podcast episode I heard. Fortunately, I've read the text before listening. The typical arrogance of academicians combined with simply false statements.Read full review »

This is a second podcast channel from Prof Adamson, of “History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps” fame. His work is comprehensive, well-informed, and a joy to listen to. I thoroughly recommend his channels.
Vesalius via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 12/19/15
This is an excellent spin-off of the original HoPWaG podcast. Time will tell how much truth value I find in the ideas of Indian philosophy (we're only 5 episodes in, after all), but it's undoubtedly worth learning about, and this is certainly my preferred way of doing it!Read full review »

Amazingly lucid! Good luck! Bharat mata ki Jai!!!
Ganezt via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/21/15
Excellent view of a fascinating subject. I have enjoyed every episode so far. By and large I am more interested in Buddhist philosophy, but this has been wonderful and certainly given me the context and background to help me in my attempt to better understand Buddhist philosophy.
Si.Monk via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/17/15
An enlightening and entertaining podcast. The joined forces of Adamson’s gifted presentation skills and Ganeri’s knowledge of the subject matter bring the history of philosophy in India to a wider audience in a way that was never done before. I hope that it will indeed be exhaustive and leave no...Read full review »
