I can’t get enough of Wes’s lectures .. I drive a lot , and a few times I almost skip a video (the title is not exiting enough) but I learned my lesson. Now I end up reaching my distention and just set in the car and keep listening. Thank you for making driving more fun.
Hi wes, I treasure your lectures. My favourites are the lectures on Bertrand Russell and an introduction to thinking. Could you please consider giving a lecture on G. E moore, focusing on his life and his way of thinking. Again, thanks for making the content that you have been making.
Would've loved to have gone to dinner with Locke, the sense of taste, "What would we have eaten?"I ask myself this morning. The laughter I would breathe in and drown in wine. "No matter, never mind." "Treatise on Human Nature." I know the experience of riding on a camel, the sense of smell and the hump and bump. One night I was at a lovely restaurant in NYC, had a marvelous dinner with friends and lively conversation about the the problems of existence. The arguments entranced to laughter as the junk bonds failed and the banks had difficulty by those who were dancing in money. The money was there and then it was gone. After dinner outside was a man who was from a foreign land. He was selling tickets to pet a llama. The impulse was I have to pet that llama!!! So I paid the gentleman, and I kissed the llama on its mouth. The llama spit back in my eyes. LOL!!!! My friends were laughing so hard because my dress was a mess. I had vomited all my dinner all over my beautiful white lace dress as the llama's spit was in my eyes and blinded me as I fell to the concrete sidewalk with laughter. Thank you again, Professor Wes Cecile.
Yeah, as a Christian the debate over what the fruit was always baffled me. The Bible says what the fruit is, there's no reason it has to be a normal or real fruit at all, it was the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, which only ever grew in the Garden of Eden, if such a place ever actually existed, which is probably didn't. Hume definitely has a lot of the things I've often thought going on, I'm a bit more of an idealist, I like thinking about the way things should be, but more as a goal, something to work towards, you can never reach a goal without knowing where you are, so understanding and focusing on the reality is more important, especially with the recognition that reality will never match the ideal you or anyone else holds, so you'll constantly be having to work towards it, no matter how close you get. I can really see how Nietzsche drew from this. Between him, Jaspers, and Hume...
Like most educated folks of his, Hume too believed deeply in anthropocentric rule over all other things, also he believed that europeans were superior to those outside the continent. Lets speak about that shall we?
@26 minutes really shows the anglo american philosophy fallacy of believing that spiritual states and experiences dont exist in the world, as though your spiritual sensations dont exist in the world. People speak in tongues, experience beatitudes,nirvana, trances, hypnosis..that does exist, despite the difficulty in communicating it, in comparison to the appearance of a "camel". Seems silly 😂,

Always exciting to see a new upload from you! This channel really is a treasure.
Was looking forward to this one! Thanks Wes!
I have been listening to these lectures for sooo long now, love the content. Definitely shaped me as a person!
This is the best channel on youtube
I would recommend An enquiry of human understanding. Very digestable.

Thank you so much😊.
Oh Yippee! Heard Yanis Varoufakis (you must listen to that guy) mention Hume twice since yesterday. I love random coincidences. Thank you :)
Hume was always my favourite philosopher since I first read him age 17! Maybe I’m biased coming from Edinburgh!
Please make a lecture on Friedrich Schiller! Great channel
I listen to Wes talking philosophy while I make dinner. Just in case you were all wondering.
I no longer have to wonder 😊
Thank you so much!! 👍🏼👍🏼

I hope you can upload George Berkeley, he really had some insight into the eternal truth.
I understood Hume as saying something along the line of God is the hypothesis of something resembling intelligence as long as nothing more is said.

Tastes of ammonia unfortunately, along with whatever liquid diamond tastes of, everything else it's made of is flavourless.
Devastation David.

No one is perfect, he is racist but ought to be more Human. He would argue otherwise tho 😅

Why not look at the economic base that underpins all this?
