I thoroughly enjoyed this course and find that it encouragingly sets some directions, and of course, raises my excitement for further study into some of the different fields of philosophy. Thank you.

I found this course incredibly stimulating. A wonderfully structured introduction to European philosophy. All modules well presented. How lucky we are to have learning like this at our fingertips.

Great fun to do. Stretches the mind and makes you realise how little you really know. Loved the time travel part and the brain in the vat part.

I am learning a lot in the course and it's kind of interesting seeing the logic behind how we think, what we think, and how we perceive others.

English is not my first language. Nor a second one. This course was interesting but rather challenging to understand some bits here and there.
