"I mean, it's an *alright* argument."

It's striking how persuasive such terminology as 'private/public', 'inner/outer', 'subjective/objective', 'first person perspective/third person perspective', are. But the appearance of sense is an illusion. Realizing that it _is_ an illusion requires carefully examining the use of these terms within the language.

I would never have wanted to be a human being. Never. It's cost me too godd@mn much.

This is a superb talk, I could not agree more with the conclusion: anti-physicalists must make up their mind between substance dualism and idealism. Those who think property dualism, panpsychism, neutral monism etc. will help them avoid this dichotomy fail to understand the nature of substance and properties.

It‘s very fascinating to listen to Sir Roger Scruton and then realizing that he is, mostly, applying the hayek‘ian Methodology (as well as his critique of scientism and the social sciences) to art und music. - I really like that!

Great channel. Thanks for the enlightening uploads!

Even in orthodox Analytic philosophy, there have been thinkers like Nelson Goodman, Stanley Cavell, Morris Weitz, and Joseph Margolis, who used aesthetics to approach philosophy more broadly. The problem isn't that humane philosophy isn't written - it's that historians and teachers of philosophy continually ignore it, on the grounds that it's not 'rigorous' enough to be taken seriously

Sorry, I'm a not so random, random commenter. How one can change from Goth to philosopher. Not much difference actually. Well done in your achievements! Some weird woman who was a year or so ahead of you in secondary school and just got to this side of RUclips somehow. I need to spend less time on RUclips. >_>;

A platonic theory of aesthetics Keep in mind that all things are created, controlled, and perceived ultimately by Plato's Mind. And that the three chief characteristics of Plato's Mind are goodness, beauty and truth. But in art, they all seem to be the same thing. For example I must adopt a moral word, righteousness, which is close to goodness, to explain what beauty means to me. Looking at the Mona Lisa, or Van Gogh's sunflowers, or in the paintings of Homer, it seems that what makes a painting beautiful to me is that in them, everything seems "right". The lines and shapes of Homer, the brushwork. seem just right, as if put there by a right intention. That that's the only way I can personally rank the masters among other painters. Another term, glory, is very close in meaning to righteousness. Also, it would seem to me that this righteousness is beyond our human abilities and that God or Plato's Mind works through a selected few artists such as van Gogh to display this righteousness, to sense and display the ultimate glory. As for example one can see the strength of a person's character in their handwriting or their prose style. -- Dr. Roger B Clough NIST (retired, 2000).
