What to expect when you're expecting Indian philosophy

Hi all - still no new episode today as the summer break continues. Instead here is a look ahead to what you can expect in the first batch of episodes on Indian philosophy (co-authored with Jonardon Ganeri), which I’ll be releasing on alternate Sundays starting Sept 20. This is a tentative list and doesn’t include the interviews we have planned.

Introduction to Indian Philosophy
Historical Overview (periods of Indian thought from antiquity to 20th century)
India in the Vedic Period
The Upaniṣads (3 episodes)
Language in the Grammar of Pāṇini and his Commentators
Challenges to the Brahmanic culture: Buddhists and Jainas
The Buddha (2 episodes)
Political Thought (Aśoka and the Arthaśāstra of Kauṭilya)
The Mahābhārata (2 episodes)
Women philosophers in the Upaniṣads and Mahābhārata
Non-violence

...with more to come after that of course, moving on to the philosophy of the Sutras.

And I’ll also still be telling the story of Latin medieval philosophy in alternating weeks, starting Sept 27 with an episode on Hadewijch and Mechthild of Magdeburg.
