Talk:The Consolations of Philosophy

[Untitled]

We are told in the Critical Response section that "critics have generally been very kind to this book" and that it has "received glowing praise" in many reputable publications, yet every single review quoted or linked in the article is negative. Surely I'm not the only one to whom this seems ludicrous.

Agreed this is unbalanced. It should at least have a number of positive quotes (presumably more if this is the weight of them) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.147.46.147 (talk) 23:57, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

If the negative critics were fewer, why do they get the most space?

I agree. This struck me as a strange feature of this article. I'll have a look and see what I can do. CoronaryKea (talk) 09:08, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

Are the TV episodes in the correct order?

Are the TV episodes in the correct order? They are presented on this page, and on Alain's page, in chronological order by philosopher. But IMDb says they were aired in this order: Seneca, Schopenhauer, Epicurus, Montaigne, Socrates, Nietzsche. I don't think it matters that much, since they don't really flow from one to the next in any case, but the first few minutes of the Seneca episode do suggest that it is meant to be the first one in the series. 24.57.239.43 (talk) 23:40, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
