Description
If you’re not already one of the many fans of Peter Adamson’s “History Of Philosophy Without Any Gaps” podcast, you will be by the end of this episode. Peter does to philosophy what we do to history – he provides a blow-by-blow account of the ideas, lives and historical context of the major philosophers as well as the lesser-known figures of the tradition. Peter is a Professor of Philosophy at the LMU in Munich and was previously at King’s College London. We invited him onto the show to discuss philosophy in the days of Philip and Alexander, with a special focus on Aristotle.   I WANT YOU!  If you want to order one of the brilliant coffee mugs designed by Jessica Robles, here’s the pricing info (inc shipping): * U.S. – USD $15.00 * Canada – USD $19.00. * Rest of WORLD – USD $27.00.
