Great Courses - Meaning of Life

Unread post

I just remembered I had this course, I bought it when it was on sale -- I'm pretty sure it was cheaper than the current sale price, can't remember what the deal was exactly.

As always, I keep getting sidetracked with other things, but it's a very interesting survey of different thinkers. Just thought I'd throw it out there, as it's relevant to Haidt's book.

i enjoyed the comments section.

out of the first four reviews 1, 2 and 4 gave 5 stars and commenter 3 gave only 1 star.

'twas interesting to see the different points of view.

the negative review got 26 "thumbs up"

the course averaged a 4.6, not too shabby!

That looks pretty good. I've actually fallen way behind in Wright's course. Need to catch up on some of those videos.

Cant say enough about The Great Courses. I have purchased a couple dozen of their courses.
Never knew about this one. It looks interesting.
