How ‘modern’ will this podcast go?
I know that you plan to cover all of the philosophers of each era quite exhaustively, but is there yet a point you settled on as a good place to end the main series? Like at the turn of the millennium or up to the point where you started the podcast? Will you make an episode on yourself? And will you cover recently deceased philosophers like Kripke, Kane, and Dennett? As well as still living philosophers? Or is all of this still up in the air so to speak?

I think this is covered under “frequently asked questions” (link below) but the short answer is “I have no plans to stop in the foreseeable future”. I can imagine stopping in 1900 or trying to cover the 20th century, can’t really imagine tackling the 21st century though. And definitely not myself, I’ll leave that to others if anyone thinks it is worthwhile!

Finish Line
Ah, I see. I wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t wish to cover the bewildering array of people and ideas in modern analytic philosophy, although it would be really cool to see figures like Russell, Moore, and Wittgenstein eventually be covered in the podcast. And, coming from a Catholic background myself, figures from Neo-Thomism like Jacques Maritain and Elizabeth Anscombe, as well as personalist philosophers. I guess you’ll cross that bridge when you get there. Can’t wait until you get to Descartes!
