Resources

If you would like to learn more about philosophy, here are several resources which inspired my newfound love of philosophy and my book, The Eye of God.

“Philosophize This!” provides an accessible entry point for beginners. The podcast guides listeners from the ancient wisdom of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle to the contemporary ideas of modern philosophers. Each episode introduces a fresh philosophical topic, and you don’t need to hold a philosophy degree to grasp the show’s insights. Host Stephen West simplifies complex concepts, helping you understand the philosophical concepts in straightforward terms.

“The Partially Examined Life” is a philosophy podcast founded by individuals who initially considered pursuing philosophy as a career. The show blends insightful discussions with a touch of lightheartedness. Led by Mark Linsenmayer, Seth Paskin, Wes Alwan, and Dylan Casey, the podcast explores philosophy, philosophers, and philosophical texts. Each episode features a short reading that sparks discussions on profound philosophical questions and ideas.

“In Our Time”, hosted by Melvyn Bragg and broadcast on BBC Radio 4, is a podcast which focuses on history, culture, philosophy, religion, and science. On each philosophy episode Bragg and his expert guests delve into the lives and ideas of various thinkers, skillfully bridge the gap between ancient wisdom and the contemporary world, making philosophy accessible to all.

Peter Adamson, professor of philosophy at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and King’s College London, is the mind behind the podcast “History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps.” Adamson’s podcast meticulously traces the history of philosophy, leaving no gaps between major thinkers and lesser-known figures. He delves deep into the lives and beliefs of renowned philosophers, unraveling their intellectual legacies within the broader historical context.
