I thoroughly enjoyed this course and find that it encouragingly sets some directions, and of course, raises my excitement for further study into some of the different fields of philosophy. Thank you.

I found this course incredibly stimulating. A wonderfully structured introduction to European philosophy. All modules well presented. How lucky we are to have learning like this at our fingertips.

Me pareci贸 un curso bien estructurado, con coherencia tem谩tica y rigurosidad cient铆fica. Se nota bastante el esfuerzo de cuidar cada detalle, desde la producci贸n audiovisual, la transmisi贸n de ideas, proporci贸n de fuentes bibliogr谩ficas, etc... Gracias a todos los que hacen posible 糖心vlog官网观看, a la Universidad de Edimburgo y a la excelente plantilla de fil贸sofos que prepar贸 este curso.

Very good teaching strategy. Takes you through ideas and gives you examples. Has a couple of questions each video to keep your attention. It is a very interesting subject, even if the teaching was bad, but the lectures add even more by taking their time with concepts. Keep doing what you're doing. I would take other courses by this school if they were similarly designed. Thank you.

This is a really engaging course that discussed several interesting old and recent questions in philosophy. One really great thing about it is that each week you have an option of doing one or both out of two different topics, based on your interest 鈥 and there's something for everyone. But the topics and presentation are so interesting that you'll probably do all of them anyway!

I found the wording of some questions to be very narrowly different making the choice of which was more correct rather than which was simply correct. After submitting each test at the end of each module I was then later presented with more tests for those modules with the report that I had not yet submitted those tests, I Had but not the questionnaires that pop up as unsubmitted

This course was really helpful. I did a little learning of philosophy before, and after studying this course, I found my understanding deeper and I am able to use it in my learnings of other subjects. For instance, I related political obligations with absolutism of the Sun King, which proved to be very thought-provoking and interesting. Thanks to all the teachers and 糖心vlog官网观看!

I enjoyed the presenters/lecturers. The material was deep enough to be engaging and shallow enough to cover a broad range of topics that are clearly very deep and complex. For this reason, it was a very good introduction course. it introduced me to the sorts of topics, discussions and skills that would be required if "following" philosophy and "doing" philosophy in more depth.

This course was amazing! It covers fundamental philosophical questions that are even applicable to our current lives and issues surrounding it. Moreover, one senses that the lecturers present various viewpoints with adequate ground hence they teach you the ability think from others' perspective and support it which is essential for learning philosophical and critical thinking.

I really enjoyed it. The structure of the course was good and I liked that I could pick options that I was naturally drawn to (or was I?). The lecturers explained things concisely and without oversimplifying the topics. The companion book is also useful and I can see myself using it as a reference for exploring some of the topics more deeply. Thanks for providing the course.

It was simple and enlightening at the same time. i took the course because i wanted to understand whether or not i was suited to pursue philosophy at the masters level, since i have been fascinated by it but did not have the chance to study it in college. this course gave me a lot of insight and it was really great for introspection and thinking critically. thanks a lot!

Really good course! Very much enjoyed it! Thank you for an amazing month! The only thing I would mention, was that at times the computer would sometime move the selected answer on the quiz, which made it frustrating on the last week's quiz and on week 2 (or 3 I think, can't remember it correctly) when it occurred, but apart from that everything else was fine! Thank you!

I was asked to take this course by the Kibbutz Seminar College in Israel
I am studying to become an English teacher and this is one of the courses we are required to take. It was well presented, fascinating and educational
I was pleasantly surprised and the course went well and i am sure that i will be thinking about some of these issues for some time to come
Thank you

This was a fantastic course with several awesome lecturers. I appreciated the course material and the additional resources offered as well. The best part of this course was the lecture on Time Travel because it's a confounding theory with many logical loopholes. The lecturer was able to dissolve the several bases for time travel theories down to digestible concepts.

Course is quite good. I am studying political science in graduation where a lot of philosophers are mentioned. I had joined this course to develop an understanding towards them. Therefore this course was quite important. It can be applied not only in the field of political science and philosophy but in every field. The topic is explained very clearly in the course.

Philosophy has always seemed to be a subject that was academic and unrelated to daily life. This course showed me that this was untrue. Philosophy is at the heart of how we live our lives as individuals and members of the communities to which we belong. It informs all of our choices and decisions. This fascinating introduction to the topic is suitable for everyone!

The course really helped to give a fresh overview of both the historical development of philosophical thought and how different aspects fit together. It also heightened my appreciation for philosophical argument and I trust sharpened my own thinking skills. Grateful for this learning opportunity and also it has given an avenues for further study and application.

My Review of this course is that it is full of very valuable information that needs to be studied over a long long period of time. Each concept and theory was explained precisely and clearly. You can not learn and master this course in just five weeks. It was fun to know this subject . Thank you for the knowledge and it will be with me for the rest of my life.

I loved taking this course, although at the end it became a little difficult for me to understand the accent of that Italian Professor (for me particulally it would be easier if she spoke Italian, it's my second mother tongue!). It was the hardest test because I couldn't understand very well. But in general terms it was very nice! Thank you and congratulations.

It was a fantastic course. Even If I have a historical background, I was able to understand the various dynamics of understanding on contemporary philosophy. The professors of the course are well prepared. They have an excellent teaching of method with the aim of making us ask the questions and reflect on the answers concerning the human being understood.

Absolutely brilliant, thoroughly engaging and the topics lead perfectly from one to the other. Each teacher explained their topic in unique ways which I believe really kept the interest alive and as much as leaving this review may help everything's determined so does it really?
But really thank you for this course it was lovely to engage with and complete.

This introductory course is inevitably one of my best experiences so far. Topics such as free will, time travel, political obligations etc open your mind to a whole new ways of thinking. This course has given me lot of motivation to further deepen my understanding of subject. A big 'Thank You' to the wonderful professors at 'The University of Edinburgh'!

An excellent course that introduces its learners to the exciting world of philosophy, starting from the basics of what philosophy is and covering a wide range of topics from determinism and free will to artificial intelligence. Easily comprehensible classes, along with explanatory transcripts and abundant resources ensures a perfect learning experience.
