Hi, I'm Peter Adamson, and this is a special and long-awaited announcement about the history of philosophy podcast.

Ever since I began the series, I've been receiving questions and feedback from listeners,

and by far the most frequent comment was that I should really be covering philosophy

Well, I'm finally doing it. This weekend, instead of an episode on medieval philosophy,

I'm releasing the first of a substantial series of episodes on philosophy in classical India.

These episodes are being co-authored with an expert on the subject,

Shenarden Canary of New York University. To download them you'll need to seek out a separate

on medieval philosophy which will be continuing to appear in alternate weeks with the episodes

on India. So the next installment of medieval philosophy will appear next weekend.

Of course, the episodes on Indian philosophy will also be available to stream or download on the

website, W.W. History of Philosophy. net, which will also have links to the new

podcast feed.

It's called Philosophy in the Hellenistic and Roman worlds.

You can get it from Oxford University Press, just like the first

volume on classical philosophy. The new volume takes the story from the Hellenistic schools, the Stoics,
