The University of San Diego's Humanities Center is dedicated to the exploration of the human condition and the limitless ways in which human beings understand and interact with our world. The Humanities Center provides opportunities for USD not only to organize and coordinate liberal arts initiatives and programs for our campus community, but also to establish partnerships with the broader San Diego community and beyond. In this manner, the Center is engaged in the practice of what is known as “public humanities,” the meeting point of engagement and humanistic study, and manifests its commitment to ensuring the accessibility of the humanities to our wider community.

"The trouble with "Progress", is that it always looks much greater than it really is." I think I'm firmly in the Witggenstein camp.
In many ways, modern media is exactly this phenomenon of illusory progress. I am thinking especially the dialectic between television and RUclips. In many ways, RUclips - the internet - seems just another form of television, but when you think about it, it is perhaps the apotheosis of media. What ought one to do? We really are confronted with our own fecklessness as we surf the web; there isn’t any reason to choose one video over another: the “dangling conversation” isn’t going on in an AI generated singularity, but rather in the living room, just like people used to be totally controlled by the church. Even the most stoic sentinel needs religion to return to the source, or achieve ecstasy, but the end of history is already here and indeed, philosophy is an activity, but also a facticity. We want there to be imaginary truths that can pacify our meticulous - unready - souls, but in the end all we can do be thankful and keep striving, and maybe work out to find out where it all went wrong. But maybe there are no mistakes in life, since you live so you learn. Freedom is the highest of all things to be gained. What we want to do, is within our reach. Knowing that, RUclips is already quite the miracle of human handiwork.
Insightful lectures. Please who’s that person clearing their throat?? They could have gone to sort themselves out in the bathroom. That noise was ingratiating 😢
All of the above Professor Brooks.

Awesome lectures. I would say there are other passages in Whitman regarding death that suggest he really does believe in an afterlife, perhaps through reincarnation into the invisible and impalpable realms he sometimes speaks of. E.g. when he says that he has already died a thousand deaths. Maybe I'm wrong and Whitman was just a materialist and it's only a metaphorical sort of immortality. But I'm not sure, he's a very tricky author.
This was awesome! The info about Orwell’s unpublished intro to Animal Farm is very interesting. Thank you for sharing this
This is a very nice interview, thank you for publishing it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank You .
Long live life, all beautiful around us😎

I enjoyed all three lectures. Insightful stuff. Alas, very few viewers.
I am glad you enjoyed the lectures!

Is the idea that beauty is proportionality of parts a Pythagorean theory or is it a Stoic theory? I thought it was the latter.
definitely pythagorean
"It is actually said by everyone that the symmetry of parts in relation to each other and to the whole added to fine coloration makes something beautiful to see." Enneads 1.6.1. Dillon, King, Wilberding, note, "This is in particular the Stoic view, although it was widely held by others as well."
Crumley's book on epistemology was for me very helpful.
