After each section of this guide, you will find some questions and suggestions for further thought. There is no right or wrong answer to most of these questions; they're designed merely to offer suggestions for how you might think further about the reading and about what was discussed in the lecture. In each case, you will, of course, find the questions more or less accessible depending on whether or not you were able to read the dialogue as well as listen to the lecture. You may find it interesting not to stop with these particular questions, but to use them as models to think further on your own or with others about the issues and questions raised by these lectures.

Would you listen to The Modern Scholar again? Why?
I love how he broke down the words translated from Greek. There is not exact translation and Mr Kosman explains the Greek words very well.Very professional

THE MODERN SCHOLAR:PLATO AND ARISTOTLE

This is by no means an easy set of lectures to get through, not because the presentation is poor, but because the concepts are both important and subtle.
I listen to the lectures while walking daily, so I could not follow the notes (supplied in PDF format) but they are worth reviewing. Because I was distracted from listening while walking, I listened to some of the lectures several times to help fix the points in my mind.
I intend to listen to the works by Plato and Aristotle again, then listen to this series again. I am studying the foundations of Western Civilization for my own pleasure, not for any other goal. This is one of the few recorded lecture series I have purchased that I judge worth a detailed second listening as opposed to going on to a different subject.
Forms a good solid foundation for further study.

Overall, the course is very fair, covering a huge array of topics passionately (his love for the topic is evident) and articulate (very complex and abstract topics are made understandable).
Avoids religious undertones...

Any additional comments?
I read some of the negative reviews of this series of lectures and almost chose not to purchase. I am so thankful that I did not follow their lead!! These lectures are outstanding. I often listened to a section a second time because there is a great deal to ponder. The lectures created a desire to read both Aristotle and Plato. I have discussed many of the ideas presented with other people because they help me think more clearly about my life and they generate a sense of wonder. What more could someone ask from a set of lectures focused on the philosophy of two of the world's greatest thinkers. Aryeh Kosman did a great job and I wish that there were more lecture series available from him.Puzzled by the Negative Reviews!!
