This course looks at a wide range of philosophical ideas through the lens of one of the greatest modern philosophers – Terry Pratchett. Over the 41-book long Discworld series, Pratchett explored a staggering array of philosophical ideas, from metaphysics to political philosophy. Each week we will explore one of his big ideas with the help of his books. You do not have to be a fan of Pratchett to enjoy or understand these lessons but if you wish to read along with the course, each lesson is connected to a specific book (shown in brackets).
