    Since we are moving towards the end of our coverage of the Renaissance and Reformation in France, I thought I would divulge plans for the miniseries Britain in the same period (15-16th centuries). Comments and suggestions more than welcome! These episodes will kick off on March 12, 2023, if all goes according to plan. Note: interviews are not included in this list, only scripted episodes,

Overview

Peter Adamson, Professor of Philosophy at the LMU in Munich and at King's College London, takes listeners through the history of philosophy, "without any gaps." The series looks at the ideas, lives and historical context of the major philosophers as well as the lesser-known figures of the tradition.
