The first philosopher fans, supporters, and subscribers wanted lectures on was Plato, so I've created six downloadable lectures in mp3 format on the text so many people begin with - Plato's Apology. We're now working on converting lectures on the Crito, and will then do the Euthyphro and the Phaedo. (And when I say "we," it's not the royal usage - I'm including my son, Matthew, who is now assisting me with editing)
The videos these were drawn from were shot years back, before I started using a lapel mike and voice recorder, so we had to do a lot to boost the sound quality to the level you'll hear. But of course, it's not perfect podcasting that people go to my Sadler's Lectures for - it's high quality content, faithful to the texts and thinkers, helping readers and listeners learn!
At any rate, here are those six episodes
- Socrates' Divine Mission - Plato's Apology
- Socrates' Older Accusers - Plato's Apology
- Socrates' Defense Against Charges of Corruption - Plato's Apology
- Socrates' Defense Against Charges Of Impiety - Plato's Apology
- The Gadfly Analogy - Plato's Apology
- Why Socrates Does Not Fear Death - Plato's Apology
As a reference, you might want to get The Last Days of Socrates, which includes the Apology, Crito, Euthyphro, and Phaedo.
The six episodes come to just over 90 minutes total, so if you've got a long drive or commute, or want to listen to them at the gym, or while you're doing something else, you can easily download them from my channel and start learning! If iTunes /Apple Podcasts or Google Play is more your speed, you can find my channel there as well.
