I forgot to add this podcast series: History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps.

I didn't find this series (or the books he made out of podcast scripts) to be particularly inclusive - did you?


I haven't listened to it since the very beginning, but from the list of episodes, it looks like it's done a pretty good job. In particular, there's a lot on the Arabic and Jewish traditions (26 episodes), stuff in Andalusia (which dovetails with the Arabic/Jewish stuff; 25 episodes), eastern traditions (including India, which is often ignored in favour of China; 25 episodes), straight-up Indian philosophy (62 episodes), and African philosophy (including pre-colonial Africa; 56 episodes).

On paper that seems pretty decent, but maybe you had something else in mind? Like I said, I only listened to a few early episodes years ago, so you've probably got a leg up on me. I know it came in for some criticism about the large (diverse) gaps it was leaving some time ago, but it looks like they've worked hard to address that.
I know it's a genus.
