A wonderful peek into the world of philosophy
Marianne Talbot's lectures are engaging, accessible and entertaining, striking the right balance between challenging the listener to make cognitive leaps and leaving them lost without hope of grasping the key concepts. She is clearly a very gifted teacher, not only because of her obvious enthusiasm for philosophy, but also because she is very mindful of her students' perspective, allowing her to guide them through the thought experiments step by step, making sure they truly grasp the topic at hand. She clearly defines specialist vocabulary and concepts allowing the listener to follow without difficulty. Even without the aid of the diagrams she draws for her audience, very little is lost through the audio format as she explicates and reiterates her arguments so well. She has thoughtfully made videos and slides of the lectures avaiable to complement the audio tracks, so it's easy to keep track throughout. These lectures have been a wonderful introduction to philosophy and have genuinely inspired me to learn far more about this fascinating subject. I hope that more become available soon, I will be sure to listen to them if they do!

I have always wanted to study philosophy and now I have an entire intro course from a highly ranked institution at my fingertips! What is better than that?!

It was very entertaining. However, the video quality was wanting. Better to get the audio version instead.
