The Merchant of Venice - A Marxist Interpretation
Просмотров 511Год назад
In this video, I apply the Marxist concepts and ideas that I covered in my previous two videos to Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice. This uncovers ambivalence and concern about the rise of capitalism (a 'mode of production' that was in its infancy and still establishing itself in Shakespeare's day) in the play, particularly regarding the increasing commodification of people, feelings and rel...
King Lear - A Marxist Interpretation
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.Год назад
In this video, I interpret Shakespeare's King Lear through a Marxist lens. Like all of Shakespeare's works, King Lear was written at a time when capitalism was a relatively new phenomenon - and so I detect and draw out anxieties within the play regarding the emergence of this new 'mode of production'.

A Priori vs A Posteriori
Просмотров 6 тыс.3 года назад
In this video, we're covering two more crucial pieces of terminology: a priori and a posteriori. These are Latin terms which philosophers use to refer to different methods of obtaining knowledge. A priori knowledge is gained independent of experience: this means that we don't need to use our senses and gather evidence to know it (we simply need our brains!). By contrast, a posteriori knowledge ...

    I know someone's going to explain to me in a different way to what a priori is but from my understanding is that you still need a real experience to learn and understand what concepts are otherwise you wouldn't know what someone's talking about unless someone taught you what that something means or you taught yourself ,which if you taught yourself you wouldn't know what you're teaching yourself since you didn't know of the concepts in the first place. So let's say if a kid was dropped off in the middle of the woods and he was able to grow up on his own without any human interaction what would he learn? I would think it would be nothing like what a group of humans were teaching themselves.

    • @notableguides
      @notableguides 2 года назад

      Hi Adam! If you disagree with Lewis' comment about the simplicity of 'The Sun Rising', you can simply quote Lewis (e.g., 'Although C. S. Lewis claimed that....'), and then state your own, contradictory opinion. Make sure you support your view with evidence explaining why the poem is actually complex! Hope that helps :)
