Excellent course!

Great introduction to the breadth of philosophy. A great place to poke around if your considering any sort of fundamental knowledge on philosophy

Very clear, well-structured introductory course to Philosophy. Highly recommended!

I thought that this course was a very good introduction. It gave brief glimpses into different kinds of philosophy.

This was a most interesting short course which I found most useful as a "taster" to help me understand what philosophy was about. I especially liked the fact that we had a specialist tutor for each subject.

This course is really interesting and motivating. Even though it has a very short time for a very complex subject, the different professors have made their best to give a summary which is as complete as possible, being clear and understable at the same time.

I have used mainly the recommended textbook (which I recommend strongly), more than the videos, but the videos are more than enough to understand every session.

If someone is looking for simple answers to complex questions, this is not the course for him/her. But if you want a quick summary of some of the main views related to different philosophical problems, and could be interested in looking for additional information through the recommended bibliography, this course could be a very good starting point.

The possible drawbacks, in my view, would be:

1) The lack of discussion forums.

2) There is very little time for every philosophical problem. It would be really useful to widen the contents of the course using the Bibliography, mainly the online resources.

Great theories. Thoughtful. Many different perspective from philosophers on a topic. There are options of the course each week for your interest. Great explanation. Gain a lot of knowledge from this class.

I loved it. It blew up my mind more than once; plus, the teacher of the last week is really cool.

Showed me a different way to see life.

Philosophy as a lens to look clearer or cloudier, depends on the angle.

One of the best course i have ever made in this plataform, Greatest professors and really interesting topics. Thank you

A wonderful course that makes you understand what it means to think. Provides you with new perspective altogether of looking at things in the world. I'm absolutely loving the course.

Greatly enjoyed this introduction to philosophy - appropriately brief, but insightful, engaging, broad and thought provoking!

This was a fantastic course! The content was very interesting, especially the section on time-travel, which I absolutely loved. I also liked that the course was perfectly manageable, unlike all the other MOOC's that I have attempted, where the time commitment turns out to be much bigger than expected.

I am learning a lot in the course and it's kind of interesting seeing the logic behind how we think, what we think, and how we perceive others.

Clear, well-paced and engaging classes. I appreciated the overview of key debates in each topic, and my experience with this course was made all the more enjoyable through the passion with which the lecturers spoke about their respective areas of interest.

This course give us a basic and broad perspective about the current philosophical problems.

This Course really thought me how to expand my perspective on everything.

Great course. Very informative and interesting lectures.

This course was great. I really enjoyed every minute of the lectures. It has sparked the curiosity in philosophy once more in my life. I want to continue studying more about philosophy.

After years of technical readings, this course was a breath of fresh air for me.

I absolutely loved all the subjects that this course offered!

A year after this course, I am pursuing my masters in Philosophy now. :-)

A Philosophy Sampler

A wonderful introduction to philosophy. Seven outstanding teachers each providing a sample of their areas of specialization. Plenty of follow up material if you want to go deeper into any specialization. At the end of the course, there is even a chance to write your own 750 word philosophical submission.

I've always been curious about philosophy and this course was a great way to get immersed in this field and get a sense of the mechanics of how it works..

Excellent course, one of the best I ever took!

This courses is a nice broad though light introduction to a series of current topics in Philosophy, introduced by philosopher focused in those topics.
