[114] The Life of the Mind An Essay on Phenomenological Externalism By Gregory McCulloch
An introduction and summary of The Life of the Mind An Essay on Phenomenological Externalism By Gregory McCulloch 2003
The Life of the Mind presents an original and striking conception of the mind and its place in nature. In a spirited and rigorous attack on most of the orthodox positions in contemporary philosophy of mind, McCulloch connects three of the orthodoxy's central themes - externalism, phenomenology and the relation between science and common-sense psychology - in a defence of a throughly anti-Cartesian conception of mental life.
McCulloch argues that the life of the mind will never be understood until we properly understand the subject's essential embodiment and immersion in the...

An introduction and summary of "Why Solipsism Matters" By Sami Pihlström 2020 Solipsism is one of the philosophical thesis or ideas that has generally been regarded as highly implausible, or even crazy. The view that the world is “my world” in the sense that nothing exists independently of my mind, thought, and/or experience is, understandably, frowned up as a genuine philosophical position. Fo...

      @3:19 Not sure exactly what you're saying there, but if you're saying phenomenology IS Kant's philosophy, then I agree with you. It's a politically-motivated myth that university professors tend to support - Dr. Tom Rockmore himself (in this book) says the same thing - that somehow Husserl invented phenomenology. But, that's not true. Kant invented phenomenology.

    I would love to know who the humans behind this AI podcast are! (Btw, is this the first AI podcast ever made?) @5:16 this is one of the most accurate descriptions of Kant's understanding of human experience I've found on RUclips. I like that a lot! One suggestion you may find helpful is to be very precise which word you're using when you use the word "object" as opposed to "thing." In this particular example, the =x is the piece that doesn't change. In other words, be objectivation reveals objects appresently, so it'd be more accurate to say that "objects" do change, but that "things" don't. (As long as we're in the context of describing Kant's understanding of human experience.) Ironically, when the one AI says "precisely," @5:30, it's not precisely. They have shifted the conversation to "perception," but experience is deeper and wider than perception. Post-Humanism is here... I'm convinced of it.

    Thanks for bringing up a podcast about philosophy of the mind. But I always believed that the driver example was more associated with Rosenthal and higher order representation theories then with Tye and first order theories. If you notice that change in yourself when you drive for a long while on autopilot then you realize what you doing, it means there are two ways of being conscious, creature conscious and state conscious, as Rosenthal put it. I guess it can be used for Tye, but i feel the example is more revealing of the subjective experience that there is a need for a higher order thought to be conscious.

    Really good job. It could have been useful, however, to make some distinctions clear from the start. E.g. sensory vs. intellectual knowledge, phenomenon vs. things-in-themselves, A vs. B edition of the KrV. And it seems you skip over the main takeaway of Heidegger's interpretation of Kant, namely, his turning a pure cognitive relationship into an existential one: die Zusammengehörigkeit von Menschen und Sein.

    Have searched for a summary of D&R, and yours is actually the clearest and simplest to understand. But 1 thing disturbs me. In your description, you write that it is AI generated. Do you mean that the entire video is AI generated, which does not seem to be the case, since the voices don't sound machine like at all. Or do you mean the text? Because if it is the text, then AI seems to be better at explaining than actual human beings [from the other channels]. Hope you can clarify which part is AI. Cheers.

Our pricing is determined by a variety of factors and can change over time. Our products, including this one, come from various suppliers as well, and prices can fluctuate accordingly. This occasionally necessitates an adjustment in our selling price.'' Therefore, it seems, academic suppliers are charging a king's ransom price for their books compared to non-academic retailers, despite the deceased, and long public, nature of the original intellectual's content of thought. . . The question I asked that publishing agent lady, was regarding the book ''Theory and History of Literature: Holderlin, Hegel, Heidegger by Andrzej Warmins'', that was priced at 138AU / 92 US dollars. . . It's not available in the public libraries either, which is a darn shame because it sounds rather interesting.

It seems to me the likely viewers of your videos are not so ignorant as to not know the basic ideas of a particular philosopher. So you've got at least 80% cartooning -- it's a good script -- and very little philosophy that hit home. It's like when a hamburger is made mostly of sawdust. I enjoy your podcast very much. I might advise you to do more philosophy and be less of a cartoon. Keep up the good work. Whomever your viewers are, I think they like what you're doing. But those of us who are not basically total beginners want more philosophy. *Throws two cents into a bucket*

      The concept of "actuality" is central to Honderich’s theory and requires careful consideration. Understanding this concept is crucial for grasping how the author sees language as contributing to our understanding of consciousness. Ultimately he concludes that lingualism does not adequately explain the difference between conscious and linguistic representations. He suggests that while lingualism avoids some of the problems of other representation-based theories, it fails to account for the "actuality" of conscious thoughts, making them seem no different than marks on a page.
