Philosophy in 90 Minutes

Need to get up to speed on a key philosopher? Well, you’re in luck as someone on YouTube has created a playlist of audio recordings covering the life and thinking of a few philosophers. You can listen to Philosophy in 90 Minutes here.

Here’s the one I was keen to listen to on Hegel:

I still feel I don’t fully understand Hegel, but that seems appropriate given that it is Hegel after all.

The following philosophers are covered in the playlist:

  • Plato
  • Aristotle
  • Aquinas
  • Descartes
  • Spinoza
  • Hume
  • Rousseau
  • Kant
  • Hegel
  • Shopenhauer
  • Kierkegaard
  • Marx
  • Nietzsche
  • Wittgenstein
  • Sartre

PBS Short on Indie Video Games

The video game industry is now bigger than Hollywood, with hundreds of millions of dollars spent developing these interactive experiences. But there are also small-scale developers working in the indie game realm, creating unique and experimental video games without the budgets of the larger “AAA” games. These indie game developers devote time, money, and take great risks in a quest to realize their creative vision. They deftly balance game mechanics & systems, sound & visuals, and an immersive storytelling experience to push the gaming medium into revolutionary new territory. Much like indie music or indie film, the indie gaming movement provides a creative outlet for game designers who want to work outside of the mainstream.
