Discount Giants of Philosophy Series (The Audio Classics: Giants of Philosophy)

This is an excellent series of audio CDs! It's quite a bit cheaper to buy the full set rather than the CDs for each philosopher individually. The narration is great (Charlton Heston, what can I say?...and other actors playing various parts).

I'm a novice at philosophy, but I found the presentation interesting, engaging, and at an appropriate level for a beginner. To me, the presentation on each philosopher seems to be a very good overview with enough depth to get an idea and flavor for what the philosopher's point of view was and how this point of view fits within those of the time and of other philosophers. There is also some background on the personal life and development of the philosopher.

These seem to me to be great introductions and I enjoy listening to them enough that I have listened to them multiple times.Get more detail about Giants of Philosophy Series (The Audio Classics: Giants of Philosophy).
