Great Minds of the Western Intellectual Tradition is a comprehensive survey of the history of Western philosophy from its origins in classical Greece to the present. The course is an 84-lecture, 12-professor tour of Western philosophical tradition and covers more than 60 of history's greatest minds.
The concept of intellectual styles has had a controversial history based on diverse philosophical and theoretical foundations. Most recently, the idea of intellectual styles-an umbrella term that covers such closely related constructs as "cognitive styles," "learning styles," "teaching styles," and "thinking styles"-has gained momentum as an explanation for why different people succeed in different professional and organizational settings. Previously, it was thought that high-achievers simply had more innate abilities than their less successful peers, but research has shown that individuals have different intellectual styles that are better suited for varying types of contexts and problems.

al-Ghazali - Makers of the Muslim World
In this book, I aim to convey the essentials of the life and thought of a religious genius too little known beyond the specialist world. For the breadth, subtlety and influence of his work, Ghazali deserves to be counted among the great figures in intellectual history,worthy to be ranked with Augustine and Maimonides, Pascal and Kierkegaard. This book is intended for readers with no previous knowledge of Ghazali or indeed of Islamic intellectual history. This means I have been obliged to summarize and simplify many crucial points, though not, I hope, to over-simplify.

The Te of Piglet . . . in which a good deal of Taoist wisdom is revealed through the character and actions of A. A. Milne's Piglet. Piglet? Yes, Piglet. For the better than impulsive Tigger? or the gloomy Eeyore? or the intellectual Owl? or even the lovable Pooh? Piglet herein demonstrates a very important principle of Taoism: The Te--a Chinese word meaning Virtue--of the Small.
