Knowledge, Mind & Reality
University Preparation Course
Socrates' method, Plato's Forms, where knowledge comes from, free will — and Rawls' veil of ignorance.

An old man in Athens went around asking people to explain things they were certain about. Generals could not define courage. Priests could not define holiness. Within a few years the city had executed him for it — and philosophy had its founding question.
The Complete Guide to Knowledge, Mind & Reality — 5 chapters, about 12 minutes. You are not expected to know anything before you start.
