Lecture Courses from The Teaching Company
Teach12.com - The Teaching Company
I've listened to two of these lecture courses on CD, after having listened to about 15 nonfiction books on CD from other publishers. These lecture courses are more substantial and organized than most books on CD. A detailed course outline is included.
This page focuses on lecture courses of greatest relevance to ego death. Some philosophy and history of science, and quantum mechanics, would be relevant too.
The prices change periodically between high and sale prices, such as flipping between $50 and $180.
I have regularly received coupons for $20 off a $100 order -- to buy $100 of goods for $80. In practice, this is useful for taking a $150 order down to $130.
A $50 item actually costs $65 total.

Philosophy of Religion - grossly mistitled, promising far more scope than it delivers - really merely about how we can know if God exists, not at all the broad subject of Philosophy of Religion. Other courses probably cover the philosophy of religion. Christianity-centric. |
