75 Free Philosophy Courses

The Philosophy section of our big Free Courses collection just went through a major update, and it now lists more than 75 courses. Enough to give you a soup-to-nuts introduction to a timeless discipline. You can start with one of several introductory courses.

Then, once you’ve found your footing, you can head off in some amazing directions. As we mentioned many moons ago, you can access courses and lectures by modern day, rock star philosophers – Michel Foucault, Bertrand Russell, John SearleWalter Kaufmann, Leo StraussHubert Dreyfus and Michael Sandel. Then you can sit back and let them introduce you to the thinking of Aristotle, Socrates, Plato, Hobbes, Hegel, Heidegger, Kierkegaard, Kant, Nietzsche, Sartre and the rest of the gang. The courses listed here are generally available via YouTube, iTunes, or the web.

Explore our collection of 400 Free Courses to find topics in many other disciplines — History, Literature, Physics, Computer Science and beyond. As we like to say, it’s the most valuable single page on the web.

    My main interest is Philosophy, English
    and Theatre. I don’t have a website.

    With such a long list of history courses, it is terrible that there is nothing on women’s history.
