“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.”
