- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5So, i have tried Plato's Republic and Kant's Metaphysics and found both of these challenging and hard to read for a beginner with little previous understanding of Philosophy. So this was great, understandable, accessible and a great introduction to Ethics. The chapter on Kant is tough but the rest went in quite well. I feel I could now go back and read Plato, Aristotle, Machiavelli, Sartre etc with enough context for them to make sense.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The Idea of the GoodThis course provides an overview of moral philosophy, with emphasis in greek philosophy (Socrates, Plato and Aristotle). The lectures are organized in order to develop an dialogue between the various philosophers in a way that gives to the listener a better understanding of the diversity of thought. Particularly good is the lecture about Maquiavel. Particularly bad is the omission of pragmatism thought (Pierce, Dewey and James) and its idea of moral philosophy. One has in this course a good introduction in the matter.
