Andalusia: a draft episode list

As my summer break draws to an end I thought you might like to see what I'm planning for the upcoming series of episodes on philosophy in Muslim-controlled Spain and Portugal (Andalusia). This will look first at Muslim, then Jewish, thinkers in this sphere, and also venture a bit outside it to cover e.g. the reactions to Averroes and Maimonides among Jewish philosophers in Provence. There will also be several interview episodes, but they are not listed here. Comments welcome! Many of the scripts are written but I can still make changes. All of this by the way will follow the remaining episodes on Avicenna and then three episodes on al Ghazali.
