An antipodean perspective

“I used to be a Jesuit priest and spent a fair bit of time studying about the neo-Platonic influence on Christianity. But I never really understood where neo-Platonism came from, how it built on Plato and the influence of Aristotle.
I did not realise the significance of philosophy in the construction of our ideas of God, and I had no idea how this was further developed in Islam.
But if your yen is not God, there are episodes devoted to epistemology, ethics, politics, even a recent one on the philosophy of law in Islam (though with instruction more generally).
Yet Peter Adamson has opened all this up to me. He does it with humour, self-deprecating revelation, and with the penetrative curiosity of one whose quest is simply knowledge.
I twitch with anticipation before each episode and I usually listen to each of them a few times. If the ones on Plato, Aristotle and Augustine were on vinyl, they would be worn out!”
