Watching this vid is much more better than me reading my modules (and not learning lol) hehe. This will definitely help me in my exam. Kudos!

[augustinianjournal]

Thanks PHILO-notes for presenting a very simplified yet substantive discussion on the meaning of philosophy. This is very helpful to beginners. Keep it up!

[kingrodriguez]

This helped so much. Since online classes are harder, this really helps a lot and i love the music. Very calming and gives my head peace and I can actually understand.

In this day and age it’s very difficult to find somebody whom is willing to discuss profound philosophical questions. It’s almost as if we have been taught to ridicule such questions and in fact I’d go as far to say that I have seen fear in the eyes of a lot of people when it comes to philosophical questions. From my experience people in general don’t seem to sit in awe at the spectacular world and life we live in any more. Instead they get afraid and turn a blind eye. I am laughed at and thought of as a fool or an outcast simply because I would like to discuss and ponder subjects such as ‘why am I conscious?’
A vast majority of people these days would much rather discuss and ponder what will happen on the next episode of love island. I feel alienated.

I firmly believe that if we all pondered the big questions and had the freedom to openly discuss them without prejudice then we would discover so much more about our selves and the universe we live in.

OMG, it took 5 years to find this deep understanding in such a simple and understandable presentation. Many thanks for this wonderful depth of the concepts presentation at an expert level for a normal mind to injest.

[tadesseb]

You presented very deep concepts in easily understandable manner. What a talent!

[dennisthompson]

I studied some philosophy as part of my undergraduate degree more years ago than I care to remember. Stumbled across your channel and thoroughly enjoyed it. I have to admit that the courses in philosophy l took had a profound effect on my logical reasoning and my outlook on the world.

Light and yet comprehensive discussions of a complicated subject.. a must use material in teaching introduction to the Philosophy of the human person Kudos PHILO-notes .. More power!

[FerozKhan-ssnn]

Have heard anything more about the philosophy from a great lecturer who works with her magic art of explaining complex concepts in one of the most easy ways and that too so serenely and so coolly. I am at loss of proper words to describe how I should be grateful to the Philo-notes for their great conversation and contributions to the virtual community. One should most sincerely wish to have this highly recommended Site be flooded with subscribers from across the world.
