★★★★★ Best introduction
Excellent course experience. I enjoyed all the chapters, but existentialism was my favorite - the best introduction to the topic I have read. The course covers things in good depth, and was easy to navigate on my laptop. The writing is excellent too - not always the case online (or in philosophy, for that matter).VERIFIED BUYER
Linda S. on 22 August 2023★★★★★ Excellent value
First class course experience, from content to delivery, and excellent value for money. Chapters all clear, accessible and very useful. I'm teaching an introductory philosophy group on this subject, and this course has given me a brilliant resource to dip into.VERIFIED BUYER

★★★★★ Very good
Very good indeed. The course was well covered and varied, and I found all 5 chapters easy to follow, well presented and explaining various ideas and opinions. The chapter on free will was my favourite as in the past there were endless heated debates about this at our local Zen group! I’m very glad I discovered your website by chance on the internet.VERIFIED BUYER
Jennifer S. on 28 September 2023★★★★★ Great intro
A great overview and motivating for further study. Course delivery worked great - one-a-day was just right and I was left excited for the next day's delivery. I liked the way the context was set and particularly liked the fact that guidance was given - major topics, easy explanation of each. Overall a great intro to get started and I particularly appreciate the recommended reading lists for each, too.VERIFIED BUYER
Antony H. on 4 June 2023★★★★★ Great
The course is a very well-written, interesting overview of the main ideas in philosophy. It’s a concise, yet not superficial, exploration of the big questions, written in a way that challenges you to reframe your understanding on life. My favorite chapter was the Descartes and Matrix one (#2?). Thanks for this - it was great!VERIFIED BUYER

★★★★★ Best I've seen
An exceptionally good course. I have been studying philosophy independently for about 10 years... This is the best Nietzsche explanation I have seen. Keep creating work like this and I will always subscribe. Thank you for all the work you put into this.VERIFIED BUYER

Exceptional. It was the perfect level and content for me... The very first chapter hooked me with all the biographical details which made me even more interested in his work. I looked forward to receiving each new chapter. Thank you very much.VERIFIED BUYER

This course is amazing! You can agree or not with Nietzsche’s views, but the professionalism, the methodology, the clarity, and deepness of the investigation is really comprehensive. I totally advise philosophy fans to do this course.VERIFIED BUYER
