United States6 years ago - Good, but lectures are mixed up
Course is just great, but lectures are mixed up. There’s 14th duplicate instead of 13th, for example, some others missing too. Ended up downloading mp3 from Yale’s website.

Russia7 years ago - interesting course marred by frequent audio problems and missing/duplicated lectures
Tamar Gendler is a great lecturer, but the audio files for this course have been sloppily handled. The audio for Lecture 1 skips and has parts of Lecture 2 spliced into it by mistake. More than once a lecture is missing because of accidental duplication of files. The audio files for Lectures 8 and 9 are exactly the same, and I know they are not supposed to be because as a result references in later lectures back to Epictetus and Boethius are confusing. The files for Lectures 13 and 14 are also e... more
Apple Podcasts3erikj09United States13 years ago - Introduction lesson is missing
Extremely good lessons. Unfortunately the introduction is missing (it is just copy of the second lesson) and there is no video download. It can be taken though from the site of Yale

Italy13 years ago - Edifying as well as fascinating
Everytime I listen to another lecture I find myself disposed to act on my better judgement for the rest of the day. The material is so engaging and grounded in logic that the effect is much stronger than going to Church. It is great how many connections are made between philosophy and psychology. Sometimes it is a bit tedious when points are repeated multiple times, but maybe that helps with the overall didactic effect. Also very humourous and nice slides.
