Philosophy Briefings
Perfect for A-level philosophy students, or anyone with an interest in philosophy, the Philosophy Briefings series brings you accessible overviews of 30 philosophical topics from eminent philosophers.
Topics include identity, Berkeley, property dualism, perception, knowledge, ethics and more.
These videos follow the A-level Philosophy syllabus and are therefore suitable for those studying at that level. However they are also designed to be a useful and engaging resource for anyone desiring to know more about these problems in philosophy.
