Introduction to Plato's Philosophy	It has been argued that "all western philosophy is a footnote to Plato". This lesson will introduce you to the philosopher and a central pillar of his philosophy, namely his epistemology (Plato's theory of knowledge). There are 9 parts to this lesson and some suggestions for further study and contemplation are made in the concluding video of the lesson.
An Introduction to Nietzsche's Philosophy	Friedrich Nietzsche is a central figure in Modern Western Philosophy. He deeply influenced the thinkers who came after him in the Twentieth Century and can be seen as a break between one sort of moral philosopher and a different kind. This lesson is an introduction to the man and his philosophy. Consisting of 8 video parts, we will examine how we can understand the meaning and significance of Nietzsche's moral philosophy, if he believes in any objective definition of good and evil and what, if any, blame we can level at Nietzsche for influencing Hitler.
