I really dig Philosophize This
Not as in-depth as reading books of course, but it's very pleasant to listen to and you'll get a rough overview of who's who and can then go on to reading something referenced in the podcast that interests you.
Agreed, it was my gateway to philosophy. It's gives you a good idea of who the most famous philosophers were, and their greatest contributions. It's very superficial, because you can only say so much in a 20 minutes format, but it's a great start to find who you want to get into.
I want to thank you so much for suggesting this. I'm almost caught up with all the episodes of the podcast and I'm hooked. I just wish I had the time to follow up each episode with supplementary reading.
P.S: sorry for necroposting !
Hey, glad you like it. Such an awesome series, I really admire that guys ability to grasp and summarize these concepts so aptly.
You might like Michael Sugrue, too then https://youtu.be/7Kuk35VNSEc?si=vVHbLlL_vqglSKAq He also covers literature talking about the philosophy behind those books. Also incredibly good.
