An Introduction to Philosophy
An 18 part introduction to philosophy from Freedomain Radio, the largest and most popular philosophy show in the world...
Stefan Molyneux
Show overview
An Introduction to Philosophy has been publishing since 2006, and across the 5 years since has built a catalogue of 22 episodes. That works out to roughly 10 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a roughly quarterly cadence.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 29 min and 38 min — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-US-language Society & Culture show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 15.1 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2006, with 18 episodes published. Published by Stefan Molyneux.
From the publisher
The logic of personal, philosophical and political freedom.
