I’ve been listening to this podcast from the beginning and it has been of the highest order—which should be expected of anyone familiar with the History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps.

A great resource for anyone trying to break away from the exclusivity and tunnel vision of the traditional western mindset

This is an outstanding introduction to nonwestern philosophies. As a longtime student of Buddhist and Chinese philosophies, I’m highly impressed by the depth and care that have gone into the initial series of episodes on the philosophies of India. Unfortunately, beg and implore as I have, my philosophy study group colleagues continue to resist taking up any nonwestern philosophy seriously, so entrenched and brainwashed as they have become in their western ethnocentric and parochial mindsets. And to think these are the same people who disdain western colonialism - they in fact continue epistemic colonialism by refusing to engage the thought systems of those they colonized. How about that for irony??? So, no more excuses - learn nonwestern philosophy. You won’t be sorry - unbelievable riches await you.

A bit more on the different schools of Buddhist thought would have been nice, but overall this is amazing.

No one else is giving us such a deep dive into the history of slavery and black American Philosophy. I learn names I was never taught in school, and philosophical arguments that have new relevance in a time when the legacy of slavery is re-emerging into the national political consciousness. Everyone should learn this. - R Hunter

One of the first podcast series I listened to thoroughly, this gem of a podcast offers succinct and nuanced insights into the basic tenets of Indian philosophy, a whirlwind but collected tour of one of the richest intellectual traditions of the ancient world. It actually spurred my interest in broader philosophy, being a gateway. It balances humor with profundity, interspersed with lucid interviews that help tie up loose ends. Perhaps overly optimistic in its (too few) several dozen episodes, each rarely a half hour long, it can be at times difficult to process some of the more difficult ideas. Giving it a second go after better familiarizing myself with the field, I am finding all the same old joys and so many new ones. Truly a brilliant contribution to the publicizing of a criminally underappreciated field.

A great narrative history that has just as much competition and twists and turns as any political history (History of Rome, History of England, etc.), but it's a competition of the mind and ethics. Plus, for us westerners, it's refreshing to hear about a lineage of thought outside the greco-roman tradition.

This combines multi-disciplinary inquiry with approachable presentation. One ends up seeing once again how much more there is to Africa.

This is a wonderful podcast and much needed to help guide through philosophy in India. In particular a great help for those interested in learning -- in context - about the development of Buddhism.

I would highly recommend this podcast. It's both academic and engaging. Clearly a lot of time and research when into creating this podcast. Thank you for creating this.

Very informative indeed

Wonderfully narrated, although subject matter can be a bit heavy and requires concentration.

I have no significant previous experience with the material, so I cannot comment as to accuracy, but it certainly seems informative and decently entertaining to me.

I think this is a great standalone podcast, although most listeners are listening to it as a companion podcast to the original HoP podcast there isn't really any crossover so you don't need any prior knowledge of philosophy. The one star reviewer claims it is inaccurate and, though I have no history with the texts in question, I would guess the supposed inaccuracies come from reading from a philosophical viewpoint, rather than a religious one. In any case it is definitely entertaining and educational.

I couldn't think of a worse introduction to Bhagavad-Gita than this podcast episode I heard. Fortunately, I've read the text before listening. The typical arrogance of academicians combined with simply false statements.

This is an excellent spin-off of the original HoPWaG podcast. Time will tell how much truth value I find in the ideas of Indian philosophy (we're only 5 episodes in, after all), but it's undoubtedly worth learning about, and this is certainly my preferred way of doing it!

Amazingly lucid! Good luck! Bharat mata ki Jai!!!

Excellent view of a fascinating subject. I have enjoyed every episode so far. By and large I am more interested in Buddhist philosophy, but this has been wonderful and certainly given me the context and background to help me in my attempt to better understand Buddhist philosophy.

An enlightening and entertaining podcast. The joined forces of Adamson’s gifted presentation skills and Ganeri’s knowledge of the subject matter bring the history of philosophy in India to a wider audience in a way that was never done before. I hope that it will indeed be exhaustive and leave no gap as Adamson's treatment of Western philosophy.
