About History of Modern Philosophy

Embark on an enlightening journey through Western philosophy with this engaging and concise exploration. From the revolutionary thoughts of Francis Bacon and Giordano Bruno, who daringly proposed an infinite universe despite facing persecution, to the rational reflections of Descartes and the mystical insights of Spinoza, who envisioned a pantheistic reality uniting thought and extension as God. Delve into the impactful ideas of Hume, Berkeley, and Kant, as well as the German idealists, leading to the profound contributions of 19th-century thinkers such as Mill, Spencer, and Nietzsche. A.W. Benn artfully situates each philosopher within the intricate web of their predecessors and peers, crafting a narrative that breathes life into these towering intellectual figures. (Pamela Nagami, M.D.)

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
