“Most podcasts are short, select extracts from key philosophical works. Perhaps some may interest you to read more.”

“Communism, the proletariat, the bourgeois, all play important roles in this excellent pod cast.
Karl Marx you are greatly missed.”

“These are well done presentations of the philosopher's ideas and meanings. On a long car drive listening to one gave my husband and I many miles of conversation. Since podcasts can readily be replayed from the beginning, middle, or the last few words, if a concept requires more than one listen...”Read full review »

“The reviews previous pretty well cover the main flaws of this broadcast. No one, however, has mentioned the alternative (and frankly, far better) 'philosophy bites', and 'philosophy the classics' podcasts. Not only do they offer the original material, but analyses by some of the world's greatest...”Read full review »

“I don't know why people keep saying that the readers are so terrible. Have a feeling it must be 1 person that got angry and is now trying to be a hater. Anyway, I am enjoying this series. It is good to listen to one a few times in a row so that you can get a good understanding. The readers are...”Read full review »

“Perhaps one might be turned off by the, at times, monotonous readings but it kind of is what philosophy is at its root. It is a lot of repetition expounding upon the central idea/s of the authors intent or argument. The excitement is acquired from the discovery of these remarkable writings and...”Read full review »

“This is a very, very basic introduction to philosophy in the form a random snippets from various texts, all freely available elsewhere. There is no attempt at serious teaching and the readers are the kind of people who rhyme Nietzsche with peachy. That is a cruel trick to play on people who...”Read full review »

“For those who really like philosophy, like myself. This will be a good chance to avoid reading, and just get a feel for listening to great works from some of the lesser known philosophers like Voltaire, who I have had very limited knowledge of before, but fell in love with now. It could use some...”Read full review »
