Philosophy for Beginners: A Free Introductory Course from Oxford University

I have always been inter­est­ed in learn­ing phy­los­o­phy but could­nt get the opportunity.Now I think I can start learn­ing it.

I fol­lowed the 5 video and lec­tures of this course of Phi­los­o­phy for begin­ners, and I thanks Mar­i­anne Tal­bot for mak­ing easy to under­stand a sub­ject that always I had thought it was quite dif­fi­cult to learned. The prin­ci­ples of moral­i­ty, ethics, and good will pre­sent­ed for Pla­to and Aris­to­tle more than 2,300 years ago, should be fol­lowed for cit­i­zens of the XXI cen­tu­ry, and we may have a bet­ter world.

Phi­los­o­phy is such a sat­is­fy­ing ven­ture. How I just wish every homo sapi­ens is a philoso­pher. Most of the prob­lems on earth caused by stu­pid­i­ty would only exist in his­to­ry books. But what would it cost the world to turn every Tom, Dick, and Har­ri­ett into a philoso­pher? Is it cheap­er for the world to have the entire major­i­ty of its inhab­i­tants being igno­rant of phi­los­o­phy?

I obtained M.A in Eng­lish twen­ty three years ago and have had longed to do anoth­er M.A in Phi­los­o­phy but had no mon­ey to enroll in any insti­tu­tion in Pak­istan and final­ly my desire to study it died out. How­ev­er I received gifts to join A the­o­log­i­cal Sem­i­nary in Pak­istan to be a min­is­ter and obtained M.Div.
I have excit­ed to know the avail­abil­i­ty of phi­los­o­phy audio books on YouTube which I enjoy often. I also came across oth­er relat­ed mate­r­i­al which I study but I think I need to study in a dis­ci­plined envi­ron­ment which seems so the free course I found here today.
I shall be so delight­ed and grate­ful if some one has old Phi­los­o­phy books to donate!

I am hon­ored to write these words to you and I hope to receive a pos­i­tive response from you about the pos­si­bil­i­ty of obtain­ing a degree for free after com­plet­ing all the cours­es due to the finan­cial inabil­i­ty to pay for the study. With all thanks and appre­ci­a­tion.
