It involves the use of reason and argument to search for the truth about reality - about the nature of things, ethics, aesthetics, language, the mind, God and everything else. This series of five introductory lectures, aimed at students new to philosophy, presented by Marianne Talbot, Department for Continuing Education, University of Oxford, will test you on some famous thought experiments and introduce you to some central philosophical issues and to the thoughts of some key philosophers.

"Perfect introduction to philosophy. If you have questions the professor will respond to you on twitter. If you think you might be into philosophy give it a whirl. If you think philosophy is for pretentious nerds (you’re mostly correct) but you should also give this a whirl. It’s delightful, thought provoking, and she’s British. "
