What to expect when you're expecting more Indian philosophy
Here is the tentative list of episodes that Jonardon and I have planned to wrap up our look at ancient Indian thought. This focuses on Jain and, especially, Buddhist thought - up to Dignaga. We may or may not return to do a further series on later Indian philosophy; both of us would like to but obviously it is a big time commitment for Jonardon and it competes with other things I want to tackle in the podcast, like China and getting on with European history of philosophy. So just in case, we are finishing with an episode that will sprint through the later tradition to give just a sense of what would be to come.
Comments welcome of course! (Note: this list doesn't include interviews, but there will be five of these as well, we think.)
The Buddhists and Jains: introduction
Nāgārjuna on Emptiness
Nāgārjuna on Change
Nāgārjuna’s Tetralemma

Thanks, we actually do try to explain that in the first, introductory episode (which is basically a historical survey of developments in Buddhism and a bit on Jainism).

Have you ever thought of
Have you ever thought of covering Tibetan Philosophy sometime in the near future? They have a rich Buddhist philosophical tradition with various school of thoughts + commentaries + Bon. It would be a nice spin off version that will have enough content for a volume solely on Tibetan thought, perhaps you can start this once you have finished Chinese, Korean and Japanese spin offs? Though you will need to find suitable co hosts to help you cover these 4 Asian philosophical traditions.
I'm aware that you were also considering covering Latin American Philosophy a while back ?

Right, it's never ending, isn't it? I have wondered whether the other East Asian traditions can be an extension of China - if I stick with the overall plan of doing "non-Western" in parallel to "Western" that would make sense. I wonder whether Latin American thought, by contrast, would be part of the "Western" series - just like covering, say, American pragmatism would be. All this is pretty far in the future though!

I guess It would be nice no
I guess It would be nice no have an episode on Mahayana vs. Theravada and the differences between them.. As Nagarjuna is a Mahayana philosopher, I think one needs to have at least some understanding of Mahayana befone embarking on understanding Nagarjuna..
