@NoGods1936 Peter Adamson's "History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps", both primary and secondary (Indian and Africana) channels. Comprehensive...

Stephen West's "Philosophize This". Less comprehensive, more formal, and unfortunately of late, with advertising. But some solid material including coverage of topics / people I'd been unfamiliar with of late. Ethics of Care was a particularly impressive as a topic I'd been utterly unfamiliar with (July 2022): https://yewtu.be/watch?v=sxfbWdShtSo&listen=false

Nigel Warburton and David Edmonds put out "Philosophy Bites" and a number of related podcasts ("Philosophy Sites").

David Runciman has a number of podcasts he's done with the London Review of Books, present is "Past Present Future", also a few on the History of Ideas, and a couple of standalone lectures. Uniformly excellent. Much of it concerns political thought, but it's very rarely enmeshed in current events. I find the latter tiresome generally. The context Runciman provides is both captivating and useful.

Wes Cecil has a series based on his community college course in Washington State. Informal, some bloopers that I've caught, but entertaining. https://yewtu.be/channel/UC9ff15w4ufviWfv9UfIuByA (also as podcast subscription).

Carneades is another YT channel I've found good in the past: https://yewtu.be/channel/UC1VzCyqpmCaRh8_BnijbOvg

You can also find audiobooks of various philosophical texts, including of course Plato, also the histories by Bertrand Russel and Will Durant. Not podcasts per se but available on YouTube last I'd checked.

Hope this gives you a good start at recreating your library. And back up your subscriptions as an OPML list!!!

Peter Adamson's "History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps" is now well into its third decade, 400th episode (in the mainstream podcast), and the 16th century (Jean Bodin). I rank it after West's effort only because I feel West can use the advocacy more. Both podcasts are excellent, Adamson is well supported through a tenured faculty position and institutional funding. Older philosophy provides insights into the development, and history of ideas, including (many, many, many, many) false starts and wild-goose chases, but also often startlingly modern thinking in ancient times. Having caught up with the full back-catalogue, I've returned to the beginning for a second listen.

That is: the possibility that the supposed latent meaning or function ... doesn't really exist. Or does so only sometimes.

I've been listening to Peter Adamson's "History of Philosophy in India" recently, and the bits of Indian philosophy which deal with perceptions and truth and their relationship seem to delve into these areas.

All of which seems like it should be well covered in Merton & elsewhere.

It's not.
