С удовольствием погружаюсь в мир философии с этим прекрасным преподавателем. Каждый день изучаю что-то новое из идей великих мыслителей, к тому же и английский язык подтягиваю за просмотром.

I am a consistent student of philosophy. This has to be the best philosophy podcast I have ever heard. Mr. West is absolutely incredible and explains the lesson in such an absorbable way. Very big fan!

Been following this podcast since 2019, all the way back to the episodes that were introduced by rock songs. I simply continue to be amazed by this man’s brain and pedagogical skills to connect ideas so seemingly easy. It’s accessible philosophy, it’s binge-listenable content, thought provoking...Read full review »

This podcast is causing me to see who I really am. Uncomfortable at times but I need this. Thank you Stephen West
RachelJoyLackey via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/14/24
Stephen makes a great effort to make the difficult topics he’s discussing very accessible to everyone. I love this podcast.
Eduardo924689 via Apple Podcasts · Brazil · 06/12/24
He’s got a great way of explaining philosophical bodies of work, giving just a preview into their ideas and inviting you to explore further for yourself.
Sooooky via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/12/24
Excellent analysis-assessment regarding complex ideas. Even if the listener doesn’t have a background in philosophy, this podcast will open doors for exploratory possibilities of new ideation associated with philosophy or ideas in general. I’m glad Mr West started his podcast. Grazie.

Listened to every episode. Highly recommend! Stephen West is extremely skilled at summarizing philosopher’s content and making it relatable to the modern day. I would like to personally thank Stephen for brightening my day when listening to the show on my commute. This podcast inspired me to get...Read full review »

This series captures the simplicity and complexity of how to thing philosophically and how to understand a questions true meaning from the depths. Would recommend to student and teens who are interested in philosophy.
The listener 🤚 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/25/24
I’m a philosophy graduate and I’ve read for years, but I have learnt more from this than I ever did in uni (and enjoyed it too). Objectively the best podcast in existence. Great presentation.
Bristle_Mammoth via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/22/24
As a philosophy student, he makes understanding complex ideas much easier than most of my instructors. I find that when I am having difficulty in a class I’ll look for one of Mr. West’s previous podcasts to help explain things. Thanks. Keep 'em comingRead full review »

Stephen does a great job making philosophy accessible to everyone without dumbing it down. No banter, no tangents, just high quality.
bacperia via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/14/24
I’ve been following and listening for years. Hand down one of the most amazing podcasts available, a genuine source of inspiration and reflection. Thank-you for all your work Stephen.
Jon-Paul Adams via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 05/14/24
If Steve’s analogies don’t sink in, you should see a shrink.
aceprince on ig via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 05/12/24
I may resubscribe at some point, maybe after the Zizak epoch has passed. Modern philosophy always seems to obtuse and yet derivative. The classics seem to convey much more clarity and meaning.
GQ1299 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/11/24
Not only is his topics interesting, but the delivery and flow keeps me engaged in active listening throughout the episode. Highly recommend!
Dbagmcsnag via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/10/24
Been listening to this podcast since episode 80… something and went back and listed from the first ones where Stephen was still working format. Every episode is great, well written and thought provoking. Really enjoy this pod,
Ray Miller via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 05/09/24
Awesome podcast…but, the way the advertisements are input into the middle of the show is annoying and destroys the flow of thought.
Zach Forn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/09/24
Love this show 💪🏽 bringing me back to philosophy after college

Rupert Shortt What does Christian atheism mean? Slavoj Žižek claims to value Christianity’s ‘dissident’ credentials, but his atheist vision of reality rests on assumptions repeatedly challenged by Jesus Thoughts??
Swamiking via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/01/24
I enjoy the podcast every time I listen and I learn so much. I started listening about 5 years ago and it inspired me to return to university and to study philosophy as one of my majors. Now it is a great resource but also a wonderful way to explore new ideas. The delivery is casual and open to...Read full review »

This guy is a modern Socrates, hopefully never to be told to drink hemlock, and a testament to how you don’t need (might even be prevented by) university degrees to understand and communicate philosophical ideas. I love this podcast.
RGuyNorth via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 04/29/24
Really good. Great challenge to your thinking. Impressive insight.

Thanks Mr. West, you are the philosophy professor we need, but don’t deserve.

What a fantastic episode to make me feel uncomfortable and unsure about my own actions in this post modern world.

It's like an advanced seminar in philosophy every week, delivered at your convenience in a comfortable manner by a VERY entertaining speaker. Stephen West is also very responsive to questions by his audience, which is great.Read full review »

Just wanted to say that I bought his book freedom a disease without cure after listening to your podcasts about his ideas. It’s truly interesting and impressive how you turn complex ideas into something people can understand easily.

I love love LOVE this podcast. I’ve burned through all of his past episodes in a matter of a few months and I can’t get enough.

A podcast that changed my thinking and approach to life. I simply cannot recommend it enough. Stay amazing, Steve!
opopa via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/16/24
Explaining something so easily, which is commonly made all the more complicated by most teachers/podcasters, is the best(best) part of your show. The way you relate such old concepts to the new age phenomenon as well as lingo is incredible. Thank you so much. I have only reached till Aristotle,...Read full review »
