Wonderful submission

why the hell is an audio clip 4k ?

Great interview! It provides a lot of informative historical context to Hobbes’s masterwork.

Thank you for helping to keep this important presentation alive on the internet!

That was FKN AWESOME 🤩

I wish George Carlin had interviewed Stephen.

It's overloading my CPU

I thoroughly enjoyed the language usage. The English language is indeed delicious

Tom Service is a prune.

Why would it not hold up? Is it AI-generated?

No doubt about this being the greatest opera! Profound is too weak a word to describe it. Of course words often fail. Yet, at the same time, there is something of the impertinent involved here. The middle class, the educated class thinking that their cleverness can supplant the noble class. Some would find that opinion tragic.

Hegel was bloody awful, he proved the solar system could only have 7 bodies, just before the 8th was discovered, he proved mass could be changed by magnetism by putting a magnet under one side of a metal balance, complete idiot, like Marx, Marx's economics is even worse than Hegel's physics, complete idiots. What Marx copied from Hegel was the trick of making complete crap sound clever.

Thank you for sharing this. It's great!

Who came from Joseph Tsar?

funny thing wagner was a man of the left/socialist

I’m amazed Schopenhauer could come up with something in his twenties and not deviate from it the rest of his life.

the film repeats in the middle?

Except it can also be found in Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 18, as well as in works by Mozart, Chopin, Liszt, G. Machaud, Gesualdo, and many other composers. No Wagner didn't invent this chord at all, and never claimed he did.

Is our language, English, as we speak it, yes, capable, is English capable of sustaining Hitlerian styles?

A little later, Richard Strauss had his "Elektra" chord and Franz Schmidt his "Fredigundis" chord.

Sweet. Excellent

Indubitable. Of course

RIP to this British national treasure

Quinton survived a serious shipwreck when he was 15. He was adrift in a life-boat on the Atlantic for eight days before being rescued.

Hume’s no-self theory can easily be equated to Buddha’s central doctrine of non-self. On the other hand, Hume’s denial of of the law of causality is diametrically opposed to Buddha’s pivotal notion of Karma. I find this phenomenon very intriguing in that two outstanding thinkers could agree on one significant issue, and yet differ on another,

Thanks

Already the first two mins introduction is a great class.

It's absolutely fascinating that in the early middle ages we had that European 'union' going on, at least academically. Awesome also that we still use terms like 'syllabus' and 'disputation'. The tradition is strong and beautiful ❤️

The Imperium of Man

just like sister ray said... ah, that's 'cicero' 25:53

These videos are badass

Interesting. It might be said that Spinoza's holistic view and Leibniz's atomistic view were similar to the two sides of the quantum mechanical theory: waves and particles. Maybe Spinoza saw the universe as one giant vibrating field of waves that were all intertwined, while Leibniz saw the world as so many quanta combining to form the universe. Or at least how they might have described their theories after the discovery of quantum mechanics.

The medieval philosophers did genuine philosophy says Brian Magee. Does he say this because not in spite of the problem in defining what philosophy is? In what sense is Schopenhauer a philosopher but only doubtfully Sartre. Why does Magee quote the remark that Henry James the novelist was really the philosopher but his brother William, received as a pragmatic philosopher, really the novelist?

Why's it repeating did they cut it

The Death of Democracy: Hitler's Rise to Power and the Downfall of the Weimar Republic Paperback-June 18, 2019 by Benjamin Carter Hett (Author) A riveting account of how the Nazi Party came to power and how the failures of the Weimar Republic and the shortsightedness of German politicians allowed it to happen. Why did democracy fall apart so quickly and completely in Germany in the 1930s? How did a democratic government allow Adolf Hitler to seize power? In The Death of Democracy, Benjamin Carter Hett answers these questions, and the story he tells has disturbing resonances for our own time. To say that Hitler was elected is too simple. He would never have come to power if Germany’s leading politicians had not responded to a spate of populist insurgencies by trying to co-opt him, a strategy that backed them into a corner from which the only way out was to bring the Nazis in. Hett lays bare the misguided confidence of conservative politicians who believed that Hitler and his followers would willingly support them, not recognizing that their efforts to use the Nazis actually played into Hitler’s hands. They had willingly given him the tools to turn Germany into a vicious dictatorship. Benjamin Carter Hett is a leading scholar of twentieth-century Germany and a gifted storyteller whose portraits of these feckless politicians show how fragile democracy can be when those in power do not respect it. He offers a powerful lesson for today, when democracy once again finds itself embattled and the siren song of strongmen sounds ever louder. Read less Report incorrect product information.

in what sense is the personal the political? Magee doesn't seem to hold that view...

A theist...there is no genius in wishful thinking

Interesting back then there was only black and white cameras for everything. But Martha's dress was already traveling in future.

Analytic a priori is just genetic capacity to perceive reality’s crude facts. Most people know space time but cannot explain it to others.

It is exactly this issue of personal freedom that has completely shaped post-Hegel political debate and to which neither socialism nor liberalism has the right answer. The "answer" is that it is a constant battle of giving and taking. The source of that answer lies in the concept of personalism.

Copleston was a major influence on me. I earned a philosophy degree in part thru his inspiration.

Descartes believing in God without proving the premises and claiming to be a rationalist seems to me an oxymoron.

Thanks Roberto!

Whoever edited this video must have been drinking too heavily, which reminds me of John Kenneth Galbraith commenting that being drunk was the only way to begin to understand Hegel's prose. Perhaps, someone took up Galbraith's recommendation.

Someone told me Kant basically ripped off Vedanta. I am not sure how.much that is true

Englels the scum that wanted to wipe out my people

Magee is surprised Medieval philosophy is so deep in logic and language analysis (15:45): as if Aristotle's Organon were not influential. Aristotle prepared European mind to science by teaching it to think in terms of objective terms, not magical ones. Aristotle's Analytics is the European Glory, and advances Informatics. If it were for Plato or the Eleatics or Sophists we would be still talking, praying to the All or just dumb. Postmodernist Social Theory are our Sophists. Science is Aristotelian.

This pious wish of Hegel’s to interpret the orthodoxy of his generation was successful, and the modest hopes of his philosophy were fulfilled. Never perhaps was a system so true to its date and so false to its subject. ~Santayana, Egotism in German Philosophy (1916).

Copleston's thoughts on Aristotle are disappointing. Compare them with Pierre Aubenque's to see the difference.
