I’ve been listening to this podcast from the beginning and it has been of the highest order—which should be expected of anyone familiar with the History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps.

A great resource for anyone trying to break away from the exclusivity and tunnel vision of the traditional western mindset

This is an outstanding introduction to nonwestern philosophies. As a longtime student of Buddhist and Chinese philosophies, I’m highly impressed by the depth and care that have gone into the initial series of episodes on the philosophies of India. Unfortunately, beg and implore as I have, my philosophy study group colleagues continue to resist taking up any nonwestern philosophy seriously, so entrenched and brainwashed as they have become in their western ethnocentric and parochial mindsets. And to think these are the same people who disdain western colonialism - they in fact continue epistemic colonialism by refusing to engage the thought systems of those they colonized. How about that for irony??? So, no more excuses - learn nonwestern philosophy. You won’t be sorry - unbelievable riches await you.

A bit more on the different schools of Buddhist thought would have been nice, but overall this is amazing.

No one else is giving us such a deep dive into the history of slavery and black American Philosophy. I learn names I was never taught in school, and philosophical arguments that have new relevance in a time when the legacy of slavery is re-emerging into the national political consciousness. Everyone should learn this. - R Hunter

One of the first podcast series I listened to thoroughly, this gem of a podcast offers succinct and nuanced insights into the basic tenets of Indian philosophy, a whirlwind but collected tour of one of the richest intellectual traditions of the ancient world. It actually spurred my interest in broader philosophy, being a gateway. It balances humor with profundity, interspersed with lucid interviews that help tie up loose ends. Perhaps overly optimistic in its (too few) several dozen episodes, each rarely a half hour long, it can be at times difficult to process some of the more difficult ideas. Giving it a second go after better familiarizing myself with the field, I am finding all the same old joys and so many new ones. Truly a brilliant contribution to the publicizing of a criminally underappreciated field.

A great narrative history that has just as much competition and twists and turns as any political history (History of Rome, History of England, etc.), but it's a competition of the mind and ethics. Plus, for us westerners, it's refreshing to hear about a lineage of thought outside the greco-roman tradition.

This combines multi-disciplinary inquiry with approachable presentation. One ends up seeing once again how much more there is to Africa.

This is a wonderful podcast and much needed to help guide through philosophy in India. In particular a great help for those interested in learning -- in context - about the development of Buddhism.

I would highly recommend this podcast. It's both academic and engaging. Clearly a lot of time and research when into creating this podcast. Thank you for creating this.
