An Incredibly amazing course

Revisado: 06-16-23

This course by Professor. David K. Johnson is absolutely amazing!!!!!! He not only gives you the argument and the counter argument exploring both in depth. But he also gives you the mechanisms and the tools by which we as human beings should go about exploring and discovering reality.

I think people who disagree with his conclusions miss the point of this course; It’s not for him to convince you if god does or does not exist it’s for you the listener to learn the logical ways you can go about exploring this question.

I HATE PROFESSOR KENNETH W.HARL

Revisado: 06-12-17

ok here is the thing I fucking love history and I don't mean to be disrespectful to Professor Kenneth W.Harl but i need to tell you this I've listened to almost all of his courses here on the great courses including but not limited to his course on Alexander the Great , his course on the Peloponnesian War and a couple more courses and let me tell you this I FREAKING HATE HIM I hate his organization which is all over the place I hate the way he talks I hate the way he sounds I hate the stupid way he says aaaaaand every couple of minutes I hate that he assumes always that you know geographical areas instead of explaining I hate that he doesn't summarize a topic in the end I hate that he doesn't emphasize great events and their consequences and I really really hate that he gets all the amazing topics I'm really interested in. By far by far the worst worst professor on the great courses you could learn a couple of things from his courses here and there but you will not finish the course feeling like you got a comprehensive knowledge about the era his course is talking about. I'm sorry professor maybe you're a great researches or something els but you sir in my opinion are not a good teacher and should stop teaching. Or at least please don't take all the good courses let somebody els teach them.

Free will is an illusion

Revisado: 08-31-16

If you are scientifically minded and had any doubt that free will is an illusion I think this book will definitely end the argument for you and make it a fact we don't have free will

Interesting history that not a lot of people know about

Revisado: 01-21-16

I liked that I finally understand how China became what it is today and how its political system works I also loved his story telling ability
I disliked that the names were really confusing and for somebody like me who already has issues remembering American names I was really lost sometimes when he wouldn't repeat the name more than once and just assume you know who he's taking about and also I thought he was gonna go into detail about old China history he didn't he just explains modern China history which is still fascinating of course
Over all awesome course I loved the teacher his opinions were very helpful very important part of the world you need to understand to have a full picture of how humanity got to where we are today in term of political ideologies

Amazing story with deep explanations

Revisado: 01-21-16

I liked that he went into details to understand as best we can what happened exactly and why and I loved that he represents every side of a specific argument
Like was the war about slavery or not ? and so on
I disliked that it got some what boring in a couple of lectures when he went into too much details and I also disliked that he doesn't repeat him self more than once sometimes which is a problem if your learning these names for the first time
Overall an important and fascinating peace of history I loved it you won't be disappointed if you love history and want to understand how we got where we are today

Good but for people who don't want a lot of depth

Revisado: 11-07-15

I liked that he gives you the big picture of history but if you're like me and you like great depth in each topic you should download the great history courses for each of those individual topics although this is still pretty good for people who want a little bit of everything and don't have the time to do what I mentions before and one last note he doesn't spend that much time talking about the classical period

It's amazing

Revisado: 05-22-15

I loved this book so much it gives a very clear look at a young Einstein who wasn't afraid to go against every other scientist at the time and to think freely and independently and then it gives you a look at an older Einstein who was the exact opposite of his younger self where he had a set of believes that he was trying to prove right instead of just going where ever his physics take him like when he was younger it's an amazing book Walter Isaacson did a great job overall explaining all aspect of Einsteins life but in some of the science explanations it was hard to follow some of what he's was trying to explain maybe it's because I'm not a 100% native English speaker
But nonetheless this is an amazing biography and I would recommend anybody who's trying to make a change in the world to read it

Revisado: 05-03-15

I wish he went into a little bit more details about the battles that happened in the crusades but other than that it's a really great course full of information
