In 2000 the team behind Seneca Productions made a ground-breaking series of six half-hour films on the history and uses of philosophy. The films were widely applauded for bringing philosophy to the TV screen in a lively, accessible and yet profound way. For perhaps the first time in the history of broadcasting, prime-time programmes were devoted to the ideas of Arthur Schopenhauer, Michel de Montaigne and Friedrich Nietzsche. The films have been shown to large audiences on a record number of TV stations in many countries including the UK, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, the European Discovery network, Australia, Hong Kong, Iceland, New Zealand and Brazil.
