Addictive
I had some philosophy as an undergrad, and lots of history science, which included a pretty good span of intellectual history. I never really got into any particular thinker except Nietzsche, whom these guys also love. Who knew I would have listened to the Aristotle de Anima episode 3 times! In undergrad I think I read the Ethics and I learned that modern science rejected his teleology, and we had the Rhetoric in grad school, but I never fully appreciated the total genius of Aristotle before and certainly never felt his influence in my life, as I do now. These guys bring the history of philosophy to life and weave the ideas together over time, with humor and a few dirty jokes. Each voice is unique, and I love them all. Sometimes I need to force myself to stop listening and go do something, like read a book or talk to my husband. I hope they never stop.

Like: Unlike most philosophy podcasts, this one really works. It's a long-form (over an hour, usually) discussion among three former philosophy grad students discussing brief readings from core philosophy. What keeps this show on my subscribe list is that they explain their core arguments in...Read full review »
