United Kingdom2 years ago - Very good but not polished
This is a very good course, especially in how it summarizes important concepts in philosophy. Although the lecturer is very knowledgeable, the delivery of the lectures is not as smooth and engaging as it could be. It’s as if he’s reading the information rather than painting a big picture while offering a skillful perspective that I would expect from an Oxford professor.

Great lectures for someone who has a leisurely interest in Philosophy.
Apple Podcasts5Boorie.United Kingdom6 years ago - Good start
I will be a student at Oxford University this coming term and taking Aesthetics as my primary tutorial. I have never formally studied Aesthetics before, so this series of lectures was a good introduction into this multifaceted topic.
Apple Podcasts4ALA2019United States6 years ago - Astonishingly bad
I really can’t believe how astonishingly bad these lectures are. He reads Plato like an instruction manual, taking for granted Socrates’ complaints (which he outright conflates with Plato’s) against drama, poetry, etc., without once stopping to consider WHY Plato would choose to write all of this as a dramatic dialogue. Superficial, dogmatic, misinformative. You’d be better off just reading the Wikipedia article than getting an intro to aesthetics here.
