“A great overview but he talks SO quickly that it's hard to absorb the analysis. He also does not pause at all at the end of sentences or between sections. Just a one second pause would make a world of difference! Please!”Read full review »

“there are loads of rubbish and a few good philosophy podcasts, this is probably the best out of all them, if what you are after is explanations and details about the most famous philosophers, youwill not find a better podcast than this”

“This podcast is just Nigel Warburton reading from his book. I have been tutoring in Philosophy for a few months, and we use this Podcast as a starting point for examining many of the key texts in Western philosophy. Compared to other well-known philosophy summarizers (e.g. Russell), Warburton is...”Read full review »

“Warburton successfully communicates dense concepts from great thinkers while saving us from any potential Continental flourishes of pretense. His ambition to communicate depth as well as breadth reminds me of Russell. And while his biases definitely shine through at times, this actually serves to...”Read full review »

“I listened to this while cleaning up mu appartment. I have an exam in philosophy in aboit 2 weeks and found this very usefull to freshen up what i've learned. If you, like me, find great interrest in philosophy but find the reading a bit brutal sometimes, then this is really great! 5 stars.”

“This podcast series isn't all that great. The lack of any change of tone or interest in his voice is the major negative. It just sounds like he's reading 'flash cards' he's made after making notes on his book.”Read full review »

Thanks Nigel for a great, easy...”Read full review »

“The author has a nice voice and explains philosophy really well. I wish this podcast existed as a companion to the texts I read in college. Only negatives are that he narrates really quickly, the transition between subheadsis awkward, and the podcasts end abruptly.”

Keep your rewind button handy or just listen to them 2 or 3 times to start to understand what the philosophers he's paraphrazing are getting...”Read full review »

“Nice introduction to the subject and good quality production. Some complain it's not in depth enough, but of course he has to make a living, so he probably sells the more advanced and in depth materal, which is fair enough.”Read full review »

“Well done. Concise, to the point, Nigel makes listening enjoyable. The negative one star posting for this podcast, I think, is from someone who has very little interest or capacity for philosophical discourse. My only complaint for this Podcast is the fact that some time elapses between casts.”Read full review »

“Nigel knows his stuff and presents here a 10-12 minute overview of a great philosophical work, each podcast. Unfortunately, he does not use punctuation whilst speaking so one sentence or paragraph flows into the next creating a relentless, and oftentimes, monotonous listening experience.”
