Politics/Philosophy lectures

[IAmLeviathan]

These are sets of "University level" (so they claim) lectures ive been listening to in Politics and Philosophy. I found them at first amongst a set of CD's a friend was throwing out, so ive ripped them and uploaded them, as i thought they would be useful guides to to basic ideas in Politics and Philosophy.

The Politics lectures work pretty well as beginners guides, the philosophy lectures (which i particularly recommend - the lecturer has a very engaging manner and is clearly passionate about the subject) i think would be interesting for almost anyone as an alternate (or not) perspective.

All files are MP3 and will work on an Ipod or whatever. Ive uploaded them all as single download .rar files, you can unpack with winrar or winzip (i think).

Links:

Politics (set of 24, 30 minute lectures - Liberalism, Libertarianism, Socialism, Conservatism etc. Very useful for beginners):

Thanks a lot for this, I will be downloading them all. Things like these are interesting for me since I'm studying for two degrees and thus don't have the time for taking extra courses not directly related to my programs if I want to graduate any time soon. I'm also interested in the other stuff you have not uploaded but I'm not in a hurry as I have to get through this stuff first. Once again thanks a bunch!

[IAmLeviathan]

You're welcome.

[ChrisK]

Could you upload the philosophy of the mind series? Thanks!

[mikelepore]

Thanks for these. Would megaupload allow you to upload a zip file containing a whole series, or is there is maximum file size? Downloading that was lot of typing, including the 48 capchas.

[IAmLeviathan]

re-upping them all as .rar files.

In case you didn't know ... in this forum, if you type http:// in front of a url it will be clickable, so people won't have to paste it into the browser.

I know - you need to have 25 posts to post full links, as soon as i have 25 posts il ammend the links.

These have now been re-upped as single download .RAR files (i think you can use winzip too). Il post the new links in the opening post and delete the old ones.

[mikelepore]

I use 7-zip for extracting RAR files. It's free at http://www.7-zip.org/ . You have to select the right download according to your operating system, 32-bit or 64-bit or whatever, and whether you want the command line version or the click-in-the-window version.

On WinRAR, it does work, I'm not sure about WZ. 7-zip also works, of course.
