Let's Talk Philosophy
США
Добавлен 28 июн 2019
I began this channel with the hope of bringing, to all who seek it, a comprehensive and intelligible account of our races intellectual history as it pertains to philosophy. The philosophical path is one which can be incredibly rewarding, and this path which so many great men and women have followed throughout history is open to all human beings as human beings. You will confront many difficult and perhaps uncomfortable subjects, “but all things excellent are as difficult as they are rare.” Whoever you are, whatever your beliefs, I welcome all those who earnestly seek the knowledge which has been given us by these great minds.
The Philosophy of Thomas Hobbes
Regarded as one of the most influential English figures of the 17th century, Thomas Hobbes undoubtedly helped to shape the western philosophic tradition, most notably in the realm of politics with his seminal work "The Leviathan". I would be remiss if I did not add that it is my hope that this video will not be "Nasty, brutish, and short".

The Philosophy of Averroes (Ibn Rushd)
Просмотров 8 тыс.10 месяцев назад
Here we will travel back to the year 1150 of the common era in order that we may illuminate one who is perhaps the most influential figure of Islamic philosophy. He was known to his people as Abu al-Walid Muhammad ibn Rushd and to the western philosophic tradition as simply Averroes. Sources: To the generous men and women who published these resources, especially Stanford’s article concerning A...
The Philosophy of Giordano Bruno
Просмотров 27 тыс.Год назад
The philosophy of Giordano Bruno was unique for the Neoplatonic and Aristotelian dominated era during which it was conceived. Its uniqueness derives from its ability to combine metaphysics, physics, psychology, and ethics into a philosophy that, while presented in an unsystematic and at times seemingly disjointed way, manages to shine with an inner coherence. Though this video may seem lengthy ...
The Philosophy of Thales

There were many memorable names among the Presocratic philosophers; Democritus, Heraclitus, Pythagoras, Parmenides, Empedocles; to name a few, but first among them, we are told, is Thales. Who is the "First European Philosopher", and what set him apart from not only his contemporaries, but also those who came before?

The Life and Philosophy of Aristotle

The legacy and influence of Aristotle has been almost without comparison in the history of European philosophy, so much so that deviating from his thought during the Middle Ages would have been met with animosity and ridicule. His reign of “over a millennium of intellectual history came to an end only with the audacious irreverence of Occam and Ramus, the experimental science of Roger Bacon, an...
Seneca The Younger | A Stoic's Advice for Overcoming Adversity
Просмотров 1,9 тыс.Год назад
My apologies for the faulty frame size of the video, though I hope you are able to enjoy it regardless. I hope to bring some advice from "Seneca's Letters From a Stoic" regarding adversity and what might be done to overcome it. Much, but not all, of what is spoken about here is taken from the 78th letter to his friend Lucilius. Toward the end of the video I have left some chapters which I recom...
Does Determinism Rob The Human Experience of All Moral Value?
Просмотров 4 тыс.Год назад
What would a largely deterministic society look and behave like? Would it be, as some imagine, a more merciful and just society, or as some others suppose, a veritable wasteland where lawless immorality, cruelty, and hopelessness reign supreme? In this video I hope to answer this contentious question and to bring some clarity to an otherwise esoteric matter. Music: Adrift Among Infinite Stars -...
Spinoza | Why We Suffer and What We Can Do About It
Просмотров 10 тыс.Год назад
What did a great and wise man such as Spinoza think of human suffering? There are many complexities in the philosophy of Spinoza which can make understanding this question difficult at times, and I am sure after this video more reading will be necessary to clarify it further. We must remember that Spinoza is not a philosopher who can simply be read, he must be studied. Below are the sources I h...

Here is a man surrounded by the most notable names in western philosophical thought, but stands out none the less. Join me in understandi...
Soren Kierkegaard | Philosophy's Melancholic Dane

When European Philosophy emerged from the 18th century it was enveloped in what can only be called a metaphysical fog. Adrift, and perhaps way off course, there came a light, one which gave hope of one day returning from our long voyage on this speculative sea. This light was none other than philosophies “Melancholic Dane” Soren Kierkegaard. Music: • This Too Shall Pass - Scott Buckley (www.sco...
5 Reasons The Philosopher Should Study History
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.2 года назад
"De te fabula narratur" "Of you the story is told" as was said by the Roman poet Horace. If we would like to understand the endless flow of daily events, determine their significance, and come to feel “the basic currents underlying surface movements and changes” then we must have our history ever present before our eyes. There are many reasons for the philosopher to study history, these are jus...
Liberty, Inequality, & the Preservation of the State
Просмотров 6182 года назад
In 1933 there was an address given by the Pulitzer Prize winning historian and philosopher Will Durant, and any of you who have seen much of the videos I’ve published will know the admiration I hold for this great mind. He seemed to be speaking on Statesmanship and its role on maintaining the balance between Liberty and Inequality within any given state, but most notably in those that practice ...
John Dewey's Educational Ideal

For John Dewey there was nothing as important as education, not only on an individual level, but also on the societal. He was a champion of democracy and longed to see it thrive, but in order for this to occur he knew that we must first take the necessary steps to build an educational system which allowed for each citizen to make full use of his/her capacity.

Lucretius The Epicurean Poet

Titus Lucretius Carus, a man which carried within his work the legacy of Epicurus, one of the greatest philosophers of the Hellenistic age. Lucretius too would be considered by some to be not only the greatest philosopher, but also the greatest poet of Rome. So if you have found within Epicureanism something of value, or simply wish to learn more, then join me in discovering one of the primary ...
The Life Of Friedrich Nietzsche
Просмотров 30 тыс.2 года назад
The Life of Friedrich Nietzsche is one which vacillates, frequently I might add, between Tragic and productive. I think you would be hard pressed to find an individual who does not know of Nietzsche. Perhaps you have seen a quote in passing or maybe, if you have studied philosophy, you know parts (or all) of his philosophic doctrine. Whatever level your knowledge of his philosophy may be at, ho...

My favorite philosopher
This is an interesting and informing video, but It lacks to mention all the problematic aspects of Bacons ideas and views. He was not only a source for good. I would recommend `Dialectic of Enlightenment` (Horkheimer and Adorno) and 'The death of nature' (Merchant) for a more well rounded view.
❤ Spencer. Screw Marx.
Thank you for this narration about the life and philosophy one of the greatest minds we can learn from. ❤❤❤
That's why religion is terrible thing..
Bruno is such a mysterious scholar and very little like this talks how he changed the world
Just had this man’s statue tattooed on my back. Forgotten hero or free thought
What a man
He had a lot of really good philosophy. Jesus also said “those who live by the sword shall die by it.” Machavellian philosophy didn’t account for a lot of human unpredictability. It’s a general guideline of maintaining order. Which is why you also see this principle of “ends justifying the means” but you can’t predict the consequences of the actions. Watch every Mafia film and it all ends all the same
Good summary, however in his TTP, Spinoza does equate substance, God, and Nature.
Spinoza’s philosophy is more than having an intellectual conversation, but to understand and live his ideas. Spinoza’s Ethics communicates a method of increasing the powers of one’s mind by improving its understanding. It’s possible to free oneself from emotional confusions by understanding that free will is an illusion and that we follow the laws of nature. I have dedicated my life to Spinoza’s philosophy and now I teach it. You can find my work on my website or on RUclips.
you look at how strong all these people where... nobody like that now... all these pills and injections are clearly not normal.
Anyone living like this?
Thank you, best video yet on this subject.
The truth allows us be free to know the right to say yes or no, based on free will
Made redundant by modern philosophy

You are silly; greatest Roman poets to Virgil, Ovid. Lucretius is a good natural popularizer
Please make a video explaining more about the roots of Utopian Society. Thanks 🙏🏽💯📚
Spinoza lived in Protestant Netherlands. Why would he be afraid of the Catholic Church and suffering the fate of Giordano Bruno?
Thank you for the information.
Watching this reminds me how Fcked the US truly is in its current age. We were at one point close to this. Now we are beyond gone. I hate the fact that we're a laughing stock now. Adapting Aristotles' views in our current age won't cure us, but it could definitely undo a lot of the damage.
To save Athens from making the same mistake twice? He was a savior to himself upon fleeing no matter what we'd like to believe. He knew they would make "that mistake" twice and kill him. He is not stupid but hardly to be grouped with Socrates.
I am happy he was a critical thinker who knew virtue as most important. A good man with clean thoughts is perceived. We need more men of the sort.
4:15 recommendation
Good Video bro,I came here for the math tho.

Me and bacon back in 1680 and 90 were homies bro he was my luh twizz on fuhulatoogan
Fabulous channel thank you so much. I love the tone of your voice too. Started with Western philosophy beginning with Thales, presocratics, socrates, plato and Aristotle at the moment. But the Stoics began it all for me. Philosophy gives me a way to navigate life, and developing a personal philosophy from the wisdom before us is such a gift. It also gives me a good use for this thing atop my body.

I swear this guy sounds normal at 1.5 playback
Hermes Trismegistus would be my pick
Grammar builds a mental reality that can be altered by how you interpret the symbols utilized.
Wonderful, indeed great moral support for humanity, Nature's preaches nurtured nature, Thanks
I saw a G. I've seen it all. Dope describes my rhymes, making all you emcees cold drop like dimes. You know MCSC is back again, and battling me on the microphone is like committing a sin. MCSC the Chicago Seer/Scott the Illinois Seer

Bruh, how did he deduce atoms? He also basically called relativity by claiming there is no direction in the void. Amazing

Incredible video. Concise, Explanatory and Informative, yet you still provide Useful information as opposed to the average babbling of info related to the topic. You deserve much more recognition. I hope you read this comment.
