Excellent, clear summaries

“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 incredibly clear, crisp, and concise. Although he's not incredibly detailed on each text, he covers the main points in a satisfactory manner, even including criticisms of each text. An intro student will definitely come away with a good understanding of most of the texts. He's also remarkably even-handed (again, unlike Russell). I recommend both the podcast and the book. Warburton's excellent narration is also a plus.
I'm giving this four starts only because the podcast seems to have ended, without finishing the book (so we don't get the more recent philosophers). I wouldn't normally complain about this, but it's clear that Warburton initially intended to have the entire book on here, so it does feel a bit incomplete.”Read full review »

“This podcast is a warmly read version if the Warburton's book. Anyone interested in beginning (or brushing up on) a familiarity with these philosophical texts would be smart to use this podcast/book as an aid.”Read full review »
