i want to thank you for this. THIS IS SO COOL

Hegel sounds like that guy who had too much time on his hands.

Plot twist: in your mailbox was an oversized Publisher's Clearinghouse check --"You may already be a winner!" 🤣

well done! I'm an old, self-educated theologian/philosopher so I sometimes need chatgpt to explain things to me like I'm a 10-year-old. I think you did a great job because I think I'm getting it. If you've got the time (I mean, it's only 5 minutes!) I would enjoy other 5 minute lectures on other philosophers and theologians.

On Friday at an interesting lecture at USCB I handed you a paper with an original thought. Now I have another one. Only 1/4 way through your book, but already sent it to two friends thinkers. Karen

Yeah in our movie and trancdental idealism in humanity

I was at a playground, five years old- I have to think about this

The idea is that democracy *inevitably* slides into tyranny, it doesn't matter what safeguards you might want to include, how you tweak it, the result will always be the same. You might not want to be ruled by your emotions but there's nothing you can do about it, your brain has been constructed that way. Reason is nice, we all like it, we can all appreciate it, but we can't stick to it. Sad but true

reading al-attas 'prolegomena' book. reading and trying to grasp the understanding of 'first-determination', 'self-revelation', then 'self-revelations'. then came across 'perpetual becoming' in its elaboration. googled. landed here. having watched your clip, felt courteous to say 'hi/salam'. 'thank you' and subscribed.

throwing shit around, lying and feely-feely isnt "having a debate" at all.

If you pronounce Plato as if it were Playdough, I'm not going to take you seriously. Sorry.

How do you convince others to "love reason giving"? It is awfully hard to convince anyone of loving anything these days in our society, because everyone has their own preconceived notions, and they can't possibly change their mind. As if changing one's mind about something after receiving more information is a bad thing. By the way, the scientific method is based on forming hypotheses and testing them. If a test demonstrates a hypothesis is wrong, you must change the hypothesis! I really thought that Ameticans could agree on loving democracy and the US Constitution, but even that seems to be a bridge too far.

CS Lewis and Gaslight Anthem ftw

You and MMP have inspired me to comment! And reminded me of Suzuki Rishi's book about Beginner's mind. Thanks for the opportunity to study such treasure, and the present birthday present!

Thank you so much, my question is why Levinas refers to "the face of the Other" by capital letter while other times, he write it with uncapital letter: "the face of the other"

A major joy in my life since early adolescence has been dancing. Often when dancing I mentally go away somewhere and loose my sense of self, becoming unaware of what my body is doing. I wonder about this as possibly a way to renunciate one's self in the Kierkegaardian sense, to connect to the eternity outside one's self - maybe like the whirling dervishes? Maybe not but it seems ecstatically divine and meaningful. 💃

Talking about how do I love my neighbor - spiritually or worldly. We of course can do both.

Q: What is Deconstruction? A: The way back into Reality

Weirdly,🥴 it just struck me at the start that a hymn to a very different conception of Christian Nationalism from a different time and different place, which is of the same sentiment, is the hymn "Jerusalem" which the English🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 still sing in sober nostalgia at the Last Night of the Proms every year (or other national sports occasions). 😳😯 Very disconcertingly Middle Ages crusaders' fare. Don't tell the Americans or one of their crazies will make an adaptation of it.

important conversation. thanks

The problem with so-called "intellectuals" is their complete lack of experience of the general population. They consult demographic societal data-bases and write articles & books, and do interviews pushing their conclusions of the pulse of America without actually participating in American Society. Christian Nationalism, the term used by the media, politicians, and academics, to villainize any American that disagrees with the Lefts hatred of the United States and apparently any Conservative and Christian American that love the United States. She defines "Christian Nationalists" as extremists who believe hostile actions can be taken.... on a Spectrum of bullying & intimidation right into Genocide. We do have extremists in the United States There is a segment of the population - Bullying, Castigating, Slandering, Harassing, and persecuting another group based on Race, Sex, Orientation, and Religion. There is a segment of Society that has caused billions of Dollars of damage to private and public property There is a segment of Society that HAS murdered while participating in "peaceful protests". There is a segment of Society that is actively destroying American Material Culture There is a segment of Society that is LITERALLY rewriting history. There is a segment of Society that loudly called for the VIOLENT destruction of the United States There is a segment of Society that has loudly called for GENOCIDE. However, these people are not Christian or Conservative or "Nationalists", but they are absolutely, by both action and ideology, violent & destructive tools of the Global Collectivist. Disposable tools, because these manipulating people are directed to become social agitators, and are always used up and disposed of. All the Academics, Politicians, Media, Social Organizations, and agitating leader of the 'masses' will have no place in the Globalist Collective - none what-so-ever, because you are all their disposable tools. All of my life I supported Democrats, but the crimes against children is too far. Now I support those children - I am neither a Republican or Christian - I am a human that recognizes the Democratic ideal has been warped into an inhumane collective who are willing to destroy all those people they claim to advocate, and are aggressively committing generational genocide. The saddest reality is I do not even believe any of these people possess the moral discernment to recognize how low they have fallen. They truly believe the inhumane is humane - and the humane is inhumane - it is absolutely twisted.

I've been applying Levinas's philosophy in music with my company Briarcliff. We set up open jams to play for and with each other

Great video!

Bring Tim back ✌️

Great to hear your take on these two great thinkers and the small t large T truth proposition. I've found that some "radical theology" folks I've encountered do exactly what you said Caputo does and end up with what seems a "fundamentalistic" large T tenet that there is no large T truth (which seems self-refuting while also hubristic).

The idea of a "public intellectual" prompts me ask what is a "private intellectual?"🧐

Nothing illustrates this more than tall people diminishing Ai Mori’s success by claiming that climbing is easier for short people.

What do you of the popular idea that indoor rock climbing is blowing through the successive phases of the image? As in it's attempt to reflect reality, mask and pervert reality, etc. Do you think indoor rock climbing is an example of the hyperreal?? Been worried about this recently

Thanks Aaron. That was the easiest to digest introduction to critical theory I have yet heard

It's like something touched by Terrence Deacon, in his work "The Symbolic Species," where he delves into the nuanced relationship between symbolism and ideology, highlighting the fundamental differences in their nature and impact on human cognition and society.

This got me to go binge your podcast I Don’t Live Here Anymore. Thanks for that Kristin.

Kristen!! 🎉🎉🎉

"Faithfullness as a Way of Life" - Brother...you're a Muslim, you just don't know it yet. Well, maybe, inshallah (god willing) you will be soon especially if you gained knowledge. "You are NOT a mere thing! - Heidegger on Dasein" Philosophy for Where We Find Ourselves 1.9K subscribers Comments: " @johndaniel7528 7 months ago Thank you for your take on Dasein, a concept which I'm currently exploring. Over the last few decades I've noticed in both the workplace and communities that people are being treated evermore as utility objects as opposed to 'persons' with an interiority! In an ideal world we would treat each other with 'care' and thus mutually bring forth each others 'person hood' and Dasein. What you're are saying is categorically NOT a word salad, it as an absolute necessity! Moreover the failure to treat others with dignity, as persons .... is everywhere to be seen - increasing crime & violence, drug abuse , alienation, loneliness, extremism., a meaning crisis........ Reply @philosophyforwherewefindou919 7 months ago Thank you so very much!! I agree entirely with you about the way in which the personhood (and moral dignity) of folks is being replaced by utility decisions driven by a desire for profit and power. Sigh. In my new book, "Camping with Kierkegaard," I try to respond to these tendencies at length by arguing that we need to seek faithfulness (risk with direction) rather than success (external applause). It is hard to go against the cultural current in this way, but I think that Lao Tzu gets it right when he says that we should not strive to be rare and polished like jade, but common and rugged as rocks. Sadly, we all try to set ourselves apart from folks and, ironically, lose ourselves in the crowd. But, when we see others as all equal, important, etc., then we stand out from the crowd by not making it about "us." Rocks are able to endure a lot of external pressure and allow the water to continue to roll off. In solidarity, my friend.

You're very talanted! Thanks for the video

This was great conversation ! Thanks for the campfire convo !!

Faith is taking the risk of trusting Christ. Without the Christ, Kierkegaard becomes abstract and Nietzsche insane.

Thank you Prof Aaron for this. A lot of things to say - 1. Ive long had these thoughts since I was a teenager. And so beautiful to hear this articulated. 2. Ive always felt an affinity to Henry (about 9 years ago) but it’s beautiful to hear you articulate so clearly his thought. 3. The University point is something I agree with so much. Something I struggle with whilst thinking of gg back to do masters. I’ve always wanted to study phenomenological-theology and am glad to have found this vid. Indeed, I’ve actually read snippets of a few of the books you’ve authored.

Relistened to this again Aaron ! thx sir ! love this series

Jack's ability to speak without moving is eerie😂😂 good talk

That was fine. There are many other even mundane interpretive symbolic messages that could have been extracted as well.

My experience with philosophy of religion was minimal, I can barely remember the class. One of the reason why I like Aaron and Kevin is that they bring a perspective that I never had at my undergrad and it was a Christian college.

Cool

The other is radically "not me" - she is an absolute other. The other and the me do not form a totality. Nevertheless, the other appears only because I appear, and I appear only because the other appears - but this is not reducing the other to the self- same. This fact arises from infinity, not psychology or being. It invites us into the "nearness" - the "welcome", the "sociality". It is not me welcoming - the welcome, the nearness, the sociality are instructed by infinity. Seing the face of the other brings up infinity. His book "Otherwise than being" is the book to read, as it was written to answer Derrida's critique of "Totality and Infinity". We are both free (Sartre) and "hostage" (of love- election).

Great stuff

Excelent !

Great subject, so I'm greatly anticipating the next video! Thanks

Love it !

Thanks, Aaron!

Great! Thnks. Looking to link this with psychoanalytical thinkng

Did Hideger really made a mistake? I wondwr now!
