Great video

If Spinoza had been born in India, he would have been considered a saint, a great soul, just as Gautama Buddha, and worshipped in shrines and temples built to him.

It is not true that intellectuals avoided conflict at the time of the first world war. Most European intellectuals, like Wittgenstein, where consumed by and complicit in the warmongering public craziness of the time. In Philosophy only Russell was a pacifist. The intellectuals’ enthusiasm for war is one of their most shameful acts.

It's not "god or nature" as in God is nature, but rather "God or nature" as in it's one or the other. We are connected. But it's not in nature. We're connected or one in God. If there's one there cannot be the other. Fwiw

Just discovered your channel ... Truely impressed by the incredible quality, both of the content and the way you present it, with the images and soundscapes. Inspirational! Particularly curious about who the painter is of the surreal image at 14:40 ? Looking forward to explore the rest of your channel!

This is a great quick overview on Russell.

Methinks you misconstrue, the man’s thinking.

Thanks for this interesting insight/introduction into a Philosopher I am only recently leaning about.

Yes....spot on!

Excellent essay. I asked you if you can do stoicism some time ago and here it is. Thank you very much. as a stoic person myself i can't bare to see how some people use stoicism to manipulate people on their toxic masculinity. Thank you again.

W was interesting. His Tractatus purported to delineate the limits of language against the background of mysticism, however W himself failed to access the mystical as living transformation. He was no mystic but merely a philosopher. The Tractatus was named after Spinoza’s Tractatus Theological Politicus, but W failed to accomplish Spinoza’s level of authenticity as a man and as a philosopher. He rejected his early philosophy of the Tractatus and abandoned the pose of a philosophical shaman. His Investigations are a hodge-podge of disconnected ambiguities. Since Wittgenstein philosophy has degenerated. Wittgenstein did nothing for philosophy or mankind.

Indeed, the forefather of Liberalism

I wonder if any idea has ever been entirely new? The oldest aphorism is "there is nothing new under the sun."

Freeman Dyson sums up the impressions of many regarding Wittgenstein in this interview. ruclips.net/video/byi3vOnVodQ/видео.html

Luddy was proclaimed to be both genius and correct . . . and then he corrected himself. OOPS! Wittgenstein also exposed that most "problems" in philosophy were in fact definitional.

I wonder how a conversation between Wittgenstein and Kung Sung Lung would go? Would Wittgenstein think a white horse is a horse or not?

The title is misleading. When I was a very young person many years ago at Cambridge i was impressed for a while ( a few weeks) by the blue book. My DOS at the time who knew Wittgenstein back in the day told me that he (Wittgenstein) told him that he (Wittgenstein) was only treating certain kinds of stomach ache and that he ( my to be DOS) needn't bother to come to his ( W's) seminars because he ( my to be DOS) didn't suffer from the kind of stomach ache that he ( W) treated. So true. Rather limited our W. Linguistics ( socio, psycho, semantics, pragmatics.....) has moved on....many more interesting people since W. I think W is like the the famous snake with its tail in its mouth -- full of tautologies and not been around people or literature much.

"I am sure you heard me. I am just not sure you understood me." It all comes down to the, at least, tripartite structure of communication? Words (~7%), voice (~38%), body language (~55%) have been touted as full communication, but is it really just that? As with the example of "wrong", doesn't context actually frame the communication in such a way as to supply its actual meaning or at least its intent?

I've always found Wittgenstein's thoughts on language lead nowhere interesting. A handbook of style teaches us more than his language games and might even serve a purpose. As for his take on reality he is so clubfooted you wonder how he made it through life.

I am really interested in this and would very much enjoy a video about it! Thanks

Thank you from a retired very old marine. Pity the world has not one national leader who can match Marcus today.

Excellent and clear summary of LW. I've never seen a discussion of George Lakoff's work on metaphors. There is a section of *Metaphors We Live By* that outlines his epistemology/theory of truth. Is he taken seriously in philosophy? His ideas seem to build on Wittgenstein.

Freedom and consequences can conflict with each other. We are not "free" in the sense that every choice we make will never cause us to suffer any harmful consequences. We can choose to resist oppression even if it results in unjustified punishment.

Random genetic traits, experiences, and personality traits can determine our preferences, and these determining factors are not by choice. You didn't choose how your parents DNA would combine, or what the external world will always present you with, or what your favorite color is. And in that sense, to some degree, we are not in control of our preferences, personality, and identity. I'm not stating that we have no control or free will to choose, but it's a matter of degree. We can change and become a radically different person. So, it's possible, but I'm guessing that most people retain much of their personality and preferences their entire life.

Why doesn't Korzybski get the credit due him?

The producers of this video fall short, esp the narrator, who's breaking all of Vickenstein's rules, substituting spirituality for mentalism (🧠mind) as a concept.

👍👍👍👍👍👍

Very 👍good thank you 👍 I have the "Tractus" and I'm going to ✔check "Philosophical Investigations". Cheers

One of the great thinkers, imagination was given to us at birth, 99.9%, of people ever born, rarely realise the power of thought, and observation.

He was stuck between 400-499 on the theoretical David R. Hawkins Map of Consciousness. Intuition starts at 500 on the Map, The heart opens at 500. I sense coldness and inflexibility. A person like this would have trouble with gifted students who know and feel universal truths beyond left-brained linguistic descriptions. The more intuitive an educated person is the better they will be able to reach the emotion and feeling centers of others to convince about truths that lie beyond description.

Good for Einstein... He and Spinosa should go out for a drink soms time!

And the reason that you don’t mention that he was born into a Jewish family in Central Europe during a time when it was of life and death importance??

It made me think of Pinker and Chat GPT

Thank you for a brilliant analysis of Wittgenstein's philosophy and how it demolished Metaphysics as a subject.

Thanks this. I struggle with philosophy. Read Tractatus once and didn't understand anything. This video helps me understand it a bit better.

Fascinating! Thanks.
