Key Facts
Reviews
- Excellent introduction
This is terrific set of podcasts which seek to introduce some philosophy topics at a basic level. It is quite stunning to think that these two very bright individuals are only high-school students — they manage to comment intelligently about some very difficult matters, and they do so in a way that is rarely dismissive or confused. I’ve lectured in philosophy for over 40 years and have taught many bright students — these two are both unnaturally gifted in the subject.
