Fascinating view into how philosophers think
I enjoyed this course. I was a bit hesitant about buying it since I’m not usually interested in philosophy. But the topic sounded fascinating, and the instructor’s credentials are impressive, to say the least. Dr. Mawson uses everyday language and clear examples to make abstruse philosophical concepts understandable. His lecturing style is warm, humorous, and engaging which makes listening to these lectures a treat. The thing that interested me the most was the very detailed view it gives into how a real philosopher approaches a problem: defining terms, framing questions, and comparing various rival philosophical outlooks. This class is quite dense with information and concepts and requires some thought, by me at any rate, but the results are rewarding for anyone with more than a passing interest in philosophy.
