Customer Reviews
Great - now give us more!
PT is absolutely fantastic. It gives a very accessible, easy but still sufficiently rigorous investigation of both the stuff ordinarily worthy of inquiry and the stuff that we don't think about enough. John Perry and Ken Taylor pepper the philosophical work with film clips, South Park-esque short 'guides' to subjects, interviews and anecdotes. Every episode leads you through the thorny problems surrounding an issue, and do it in a very calm and cool (both in terms of intensity and street-cred) way. I recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone interested in thinking about stuff.
