    Product Description
    The Giants of Philosophy is a series of dramatic presentations, in understandable language, of the concerns, questions, interests, and overall world view of history's greatest philosophers. Special emphasis on clear and relevant explanations gives you a new arsenal of insights toward living a better life.

    In this series you'll survey thirteen of the world's most important philosophers. You'll see how each philosopher created a complete and coherent system of thought, including their views on ethics, metaphysics, politics, and aesthetics.

    Contributing authors: Berel Lang, Thomas C. Brickhouse, R. J. O Connell, Kenneth L. Schmitz, Thomas Cook, Nicholas Capaldi, A. J. Mandt, John E. Smith, Mark Stone, George Connell, Richard Schacht, John J. Stuhr, and John Compton.

    Charlton Heston, narrator of the Giants of Philosophy Series, is among America's most respected actors. Best known for his roles in historical films, Mr. Heston sensitively and clearly explains history's greatest philosophical insights.

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent series!   May 27, 2009
    K. W. Forsythe (Colorado, USA)
    This is an excellent series of audio CDs! It's quite a bit cheaper to buy the full set rather than the CDs for each philosopher individually. The narration is great (Charlton Heston, what can I say?...and other actors playing various parts).

    I'm a novice at philosophy, but I found the presentation interesting, engaging, and at an appropriate level for a beginner. To me, the presentation on each philosopher seems to be a very good overview with enough depth to get an idea and flavor for what the philosopher's point of view was and how this point of view fits within those of the time and of other philosophers. There is also some background on the personal life and development of the philosopher.

    These seem to me to be great introductions and I enjoy listening to them enough that I have listened to them multiple times.
