This course was amazing! I loved the extracurricular activities (readings, assignments and the meditative moments) which helped to contextualise the material learned in an interdisciplinary context.

it was a course that I really liked, and the instructor has an innate gift for presenting philosophical topics, which he talks about with great passion. It's definitely his original nature :)

Thank you, the course was interesting and having done a little on the history of philosophy in the past, I enjoyed looking at some vaguely familiar theories from a different perspective. I think there was a good balance of material to cater for different learning styles and to introduce an element of variety (videos, further reading, topics for debate and quizzes) and the structure of the course, and my progress within it, was clear and logical. My only criticism is that the transcripts (in written English) of the video talks are not accurate and in some places become quite confusing and even suggest a meaning contradictory to what was actually said.

Thanks a lot. I found the course very good and useful. The videos and accomapnying trxts are well planned and developed.
But for some reason it revolves around only western thinking and inclusion of eastern thinking especialy from Hinduism and Buddhiism would have taken the students much further on the road. Unlike western phylosophy which revolves around a few personalities, Indian thinking is so old that the authors' names are not specifically kniwn and goes by the generic name "seers".

I loved this course. Although it took me a lot of effort at the beginning, being my first time to tackle philosophy at all, I got a lot of illumination in many issues. I chose this course actually on the basis of the title, in my pursue to find out more about my self and to get to be able to deal with my psychological and mental health, and although it was not probably in the same way I intended, it has, for sure, benefited me a lot. Thanks,

Very interesting presentation of competing ideas from philosophy and its history about what human mind can be. The material is organized chronologically, recent concepts about emotions are mentioned towards the end. Many links to to other interesting readings and podcasts are provided. Thank you prof. Green.

Some thought provoking videos and ideals brought forward. I enjoyed the variety of philosophers and ideologies that were presented. Maybe not for everyone but certainly could be intereting for anyone who thinks about purpose in life, self-awareness, and consciousness.

I gained insights into how philosophy evolved through ages. I always had some questions about what people in my history books actually said and did. I am grateful for what I learned.

It was an interesting course, but it was too short and sweet. I wish it would have gone more in depth into some topics / been longer. But overall the lectures were interesting.

More visuals and videos to explain the course content would have made teh course more interesting.
The videos with just the Porfessor speaking were sometime monotonous.

Very interesting course and subject. There is much more to learn about it, I'm waiting for the next course to go deeper in the subject.

This course was fairly difficult requiring some effort, but it was worthwhile to gain a basic knowledge of western philosophy.

Good survey, coherently presented. But the speaker talks way too fast and you must pay careful attention to catch it all.

Interesting introduction and overview for those from non-Philosophy background but are interested in it

I had the impression the emphasis was put on the limits, rather on the value of self-knowledge...
