The Great Ideas of Philosophy, 2nd Edition

CD Details

The Great Ideas of Philosophy, Second Edition is an educational audio course exploring fundamental questions that have shaped human thought across centuries. Spanning 60 lectures, this program examines the major themes of what has been called the Long Debate: inquiries into the nature of truth, the foundation of values, the character of justice, the sources of law, and the principles of civic life. The course presents insights from history’s greatest thinkers, including Plato, Aristotle, the Stoics, Epicureans, and Scholastic philosophers, as they grappled with three persistent problems: how we acquire knowledge and justify our beliefs, how we determine right conduct and moral action, and how societies establish governance and law.

This is a CD audio course set from an educational publisher. Used copies of this philosophical survey offer an affordable way to explore centuries of rigorous thinking about life’s most enduring questions.
