🐟 02. A BRIEF EXPLANATION FOR “LIFE”: Everything, both perceptible and imperceptible - that is, any gross or subtle object within the material universe which can ever be perceived with the senses, plus the subject (the observer of all phenomena) - is what most persons actually refer to when they use the term “GOD”. REAL God is Impersonal Absolute Nothingness (otherwise called “The Tao”, “The Great Spirit”, “Brahman”, “Pure Consciousness”, “Eternal Awareness”, “Independent Existence”, “The Ground of All Being”, “The Undifferentiated Substratum of Reality”, “The Unified Field”, et cetera). “God” is One Reality, but just as a knife cannot cut itself, or fire cannot burn itself, “God” cannot know Himself (or at least EXPERIENCE Himself), and so, has manifested this phenomenal universe within Himself. Therefore, this world of duality is really just a play of consciousness within Consciousness. N. B. The word “God” is, by definition, a title of the male Deity, and is not to be taken literally here. Apparently, this phenomenal universe was “created” (within Consciousness) with the initial act (the so-called “Big Bang”), and from that first deed, every action that has ever occurred has been a direct or indirect result of it. Just as every particle of matter in the universe was once contained in the ’singularity’, Infinite Consciousness was NECESSARILY present at the Big Bang, and is in no way an epiphenomenon of a neural network. “Sarvam khalvidam brahma” (‘all this is indeed Brahman’). There is NAUGHT but Eternal Being, Conscious Awareness, Causeless Peace - and you are that! Everything which can be presently perceived, both tangible and immaterial, including we human beings, is a consequence of that initial manifestation. That is the most accurate and logical explanation for “karma” - everything was preordained from the initial spark, and every action since has unfolded as it was predestined in ETERNITY. The notion of retributive (“tit for tat”) karma is just that - an unverified notion. Whatever state in which we currently find ourselves, is the result of two factors - our genetic make-up at conception and our present-life conditioning (which may include mutating genetic code). Every choice ever made by every human (and non-human animal) was determined by those two factors ALONE, thus free-will is purely illusory, despite what most believe. Because we are temporarily residing within this dualistic universe, we experience both pleasure and pain. Suffering and pain are NOT synonymous. Suffering is due to a false sense of personal doership - the belief that one is a separate, independent author of one’s thoughts and deeds. There are five MANIFESTATIONS of suffering: 1. Guilt 2. Blame 3. Pride 4. Anxiety 5. Regrets about the past and expectations for the future These types of suffering are the result of not properly understanding what was explained above - that life is a series of happenings and NOT caused by the individual living beings. No living creature, including us humans, has personal free-will. There is only the Universal, Divine Will at play, acting through every body, to which William Shakespeare famously alluded when he scribed “All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players.” The human organism is simply a biological machine, comprised of the five gross material elements and the three subtle material elements. So, now that you understand life, and the reason why we are suffering here in this (supposedly) material universe, you are now able to be liberated from all forms of suffering, RIGHT? WRONG! It is imperative to find an authentic spiritual master to assist you to come to the above realization, by slowly undoing your past conditioning. Just as you have been conditioned over an entire lifetime to think one way, you need to be re-conditioned to think another. Even if you follow a competent teacher, you may still not come to a full understanding of life, but if you are sincere, humble and dedicated, you will definitely find more peace in your daily life (all of which was DESTINED to occur, of course). Furthermore, if it was ordained, you may be fortunate enough to accept discipline from a truly enlightened master, and subsequently realize the aforementioned fundamental concepts, by practicing at least one of the four systems of yoga (religion) described in the Holy Scripture, “A Final Instruction Sheet for Humanity”.

I found the whole 48 minute lecture very intriguing. I heard every word. Everyone has their own perspective on reality because of their upbringing. E.g. the people they talk to, the place they live in, how they were raised, etc,etc. The things you mentioned like about God, religion, law, those are just different types of realities that we accept and perceive differently. Very thought provoking, very enlightening to who we are and very interesting indeed. Thanks for the lecture.
"Thinking about thinking" is the correct answer. But I love when student see philosophy as epistemology. Then they get me for intro to logic and learn very quickly there's more to philosophy.
Bertrand Russell put one thing out nicely. Philosophy is the third wonder, after religion and science. Thanks so much for these classes for public access. made free.
Such a great lecturer. I can't recall very many lecturers teaching with this sort of engagement with the class. A real asset to UT, to philosophy and to students. I wish he'd teach a course in LOGIC!
A very stimulating and thought provoking yet still accessible lecture. Thank you for posting this, I will have to replay a few times to truly grasp all the concepts.
Very nice to see the upload! As well, excellent work on the recording layout. Appreciating too that you have to work with the classroom and many were designed without uploading in mind! Keep up the excellent work professor!!!
I'm glad this lecture series is free. Learning the fundamentals of the analytic tradition is the modern day equivalent to studying the forms and Plato as a pre-requisite to entering the philosophical dialogue.
WHAT A KNOWLEDGEABLE LECTURER AND WONDERFUL CONTENT FROM SOCRATES,PLATO, ARISTOTLE TO AL GHAZALI,AVICENNA, AVERROIS TILL NOW PHILOSOPHY IS LEARNING OF HOW UNIVERSAL PROPERTIES+CONCEPT MAKE OBJECT,LOGIC,REASON AND THOUGHTS
Absolutely agree! It's amazing how philosophy has evolved over time, from the ancient Greek thinkers to the Islamic philosophers. It's all about understanding how universal concepts shape our reasoning and perception of the world. I'm curious, which philosopher do you feel has had the most influence on your own way of thinking?
When this gentleman was in elementary school music class as a pupil and they handed him the triangle to play it may have sounded like a certain John cage piece of music ,however it may have gone on far longer than 4:33. Excellent lecture really enjoyed it, best regards from the UK
Professor Bonevac, you are one of the most engaging, coherent and educative people one can find. The only thing - sound. This video too to an extent but specifically with the Fall 2016 videos which are the most informative and easy to digest lectures on philosophy you can dream to find. Especially when you are not facing the cam and you are at some distance from it you are really barely intelligible and for someone who is not a native like me (despite my level steadily approaching nativeness) and doesn't naturally fill in all the blanks that can't be heard it is hard to go through the videos. Please either edit out the ambient noise and bump up midtones or consider using a microphone, a pilot/telemarketer one, not a classic TV reporter stick with a ball.
Absolutely, it's exciting to dive into a series like this! The way philosophy can shape our understanding of life is truly fascinating. Which philosopher or concept are you most looking forward to exploring in the series?
I completely understand your excitement! It's always great to dive into a full series when the content is so engaging. Do you have a favorite philosophical topic or thinker that you're hoping the series will cover?
A reading list for the lectures would be nice. I've been looking for a detailed lecture series on the analytic tradition so thanks a lot for uploading!
Something that has occurred to me is that the "psycho-sociological-economic" dynamic of the classroom teaching "form"-itself-sheds light on this philosophical concern with the understanding of forms. If the class was instead a gardening class, and the goal to grow a garden, the "meaning" of the forms would necessarily be taken for granted in order to effectively accomplish the planting of the garden. By observing the philosophy class, and then the gardening class, and then contrasting the "thought exchange" in the philosophy class with the "action exchange" taking place in the gardening class, we may, here, find our answer to the question of the truth about forms. Not in the contemplation of ideas, but in their planting,
dit is een voorbeeld dat je met een goede voorbereiding bijna alles kan creëren : een marketingcampagne/een college - kunst. Zolang je maar goed na denkt wat maakt "iets" en wat maakt datgene "goed"/"waardevol"/ het waard te horen #ditisergoptimistischmaa inmijnogendewaarheid
According to Plato ( c.428 - c.348bc ), when we are born we fly over the back of heaven and see all these perfect forms, such as a perfect chair and a perfect bed etc, but when we are born we lose this vision, but the one perfect form in heaven as on Earth is love, which gives an inkling of perfect forms in heaven. Unlike materialistic objects which are perceived with the senses forms such as goodness and honesty etc are understood only by reasoning which is why philosophy is so important.
A good story is an excellent way out of the problem. It offers much more to chew on than concepts that are too precise and therefore disconnected from actual life.
I wish i could have a chance to attend this wonderful class. But thanks to RUclips. Because at some point i really imagine myself sitting there. And in my thoughts, philosophy is knowledge. it is wisdom.
Philosophy is an intuition about reality ever-formulating itself in thought sculptures. In the senses of a real intuition, reality as an intuition, and an intuition of reality.
In my deep intellectual debates among myself. I have asked that same question of clear communication on complex levels between humans. I have concluded the base of the issue Arises from language. As lanuage itself has a limited compasity of expressing what Emotional feelings encompasse. Entertain the notion for a moment. Extretrestreal life's basis of communication is presumed to be telepathic. If thisbe the case, It would make sense that language is a inferior form of communication. At least upon the subject of exchanging understanding with others.
Philosophy is NOT a single subject. Philosophy is a means of, or approach to a particular topic or subject that incorporates or involves the asking and attempting to answer certain questions, just as science is a method of study in order to (both quantitatively and qualitatively) ask and answer certain questions.
We don't see packaged goods on store shelves as trash until the contents have been removed like from a bag of chips or a beverage. Most of the physical possessions we buy may have been bound with a rubber band which we typically would throw away without hesitation; but we still would buy a pack of 50 rubber bands only when we need at least one from that pack...
Philosophy may also be said to be the (high level) study of the essential characteristics of the material world around us and then trying to see whether these essential characteristics of matter are sufficient to provide a logical and convincing explanation regarding who we are and what our mind is made of, relating the external features to the anatomy of our body and considering, above all, the essential characteristics of consciousness and the conscious personality.
0:20 "Philosophy is a battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language." Ludwig Wittgenstein ( 26 April, 1889 - 29 April, 1951 )
I watched this I believe a year or so ago but never realised that you are doing the Plato and Aristotle pose from the famous painting "The School of Athens." In your thumbnail.
I think rather than rationalism vs empiricism vs skepticism, the more fundamental distinction is idealism vs dualism vs materialism. I am comeple noob, but i think the former are epistemological stances and the later metaphysical. I feel like the criteria for knowledge should depend on the metaphysical premiss. Let's say we can chose arbitrary metaphysics. Then it should entail whether knowledge is possible and by which means etc. I think subjective idealism, starting from the solipsism is the easiest, because every experience is then directly an existent and there is no existent beyond that. So we have absolutely certain metaphysical facts of the present moment and can build any criteria for knowlege on that - like say to know something about the world is to find some relationship between multiple "bundles" of experience. If we start from materialism on the other hand, we have no metaphysical facts about the world and we have to hope that our methods of finding knowlege will conincide with the metaphysical reality (we have a very little segment of reality which is the state of our mind, but we never can know for sure how that is connected to the rest of the world).
''we're striving aimlessly to discover SOMETHING that's already found us with it's own different dimension , our unfounded fear of 'end' and irrational greed for truth and answers to questions will be our undoing!'' Jim Morrison.
good overview of the concepts thank you. It didn't look like they solved the problem of form, they just described it in different ways or dismissed one element over emphasis on another element, which still doesn't solve the problem. I hope there is a continuance to the next attempts. It gave me the idea of nature vs nurture what Plato said. I would have used the example of animals about how they are born with instinctive knowledge, where the food is, mating rituals, other things seem not learned but instinctive. We're animals so we must have some instincts we were born with. I was thinking that our brains have the ability to understand concepts, to see patterns, to learn language constructs. I could see where philosophy broke away from theology ans physics in this lecture as well. The last point scrubs out physics and just keeps philosophy in the realm of thought experiments and perceptions of the real world and how to acurately describe the world in a way we can all agree on.
In the beginning of this lecture all I could was Kurosawa’s Rashomon. Inreliability of witnesses. And something I think of a thing is obviously different from the other person and all the other people as well. I don’t know if that makes any sense.
Questions that flowered the discipline of philosophy some maybe most people would call absurd perhaps. But, in my own life anyway they are the only questions truly worthy of both wanting as well as needing an answer to. It's understood, these questions are a luxury of leisure. Human beings are the only animals which have had this opportunity. You can survive without asking these questions, but only humanity has asked them, only humanity can. It's a departure from all of the requisite 'hows' in life. Once humanity arrived, philosophy-proper could finally ask the 'why'. No apriori jokes.
It doesn't really matter if 'the stamp' from the 'evil deceiver' is right or wrong (about 26:05) by what we human perceivers decide as right or wrong it only matters that it's consistent. This is the whole problem with humans as told in the first temptation story in Genesis. I.e. it's a story about a self definition of what is good for me rather than relying on an external constant, even if that constant may if fact turn out to be an 'evil deceiver.'

In the two years since writing your comment, have you heard any convincing rebuttals/amendments?
I’m in high school and he really explained so it can make sense and I think it’s really nice that he interacts with the students so they can add ideas or any dilemmas to the lesson or simple be answered.
I was gonna pop this on to help me relax and fall asleep but this guy is just too good of a lecturer
Even though this area of philosophy can quickly become extremely complicated Bonevac, kept it human and understandable. If you are young pray for a teacher of this quality. I needed a few courses to finish off a degree in my early 30s and had to suffer through a course in prepositional logic.. ugh.

I've listened to this lecture like, 8 times. It's very informative. It's a good training tool rather than just a teaching tool.
Loved your style of teaching.... Felt as if I am sitting in a classroom

Yout holiness.
Grest teacher of broad ideas with challenging questions - his ideas just flowed. Wonderful.
I found the whole 48 minute lecture very intriguing. I heard every word. Everyone has their own perspective on reality because of their upbringing. E.g. the people they talk to, the place they live in, how they were raised, etc,etc. The things you mentioned like about God, religion, law, those are just different types of realities that we accept and perceive differently. Very thought provoking, very enlightening to who we are and very interesting indeed. Thanks for the lecture.
I'm so happy I found this video! I was upset when I found out I didn't need a philosophy course for my major. Thank you!!
Still the goat lecturer and lecture... watched this... and been crazy in philosophy ever since haha
this guy is a better professor than I've ever had.
His laughter is filled with that dear delight.
He really loves what does. I really appreciate it ♥️♥️
It is so terrific to watch a good teacher. So engaging.
"Thinking about thinking" is the correct answer. But I love when student see philosophy as epistemology. Then they get me for intro to logic and learn very quickly there's more to philosophy.
Bertrand Russell put one thing out nicely. Philosophy is the third wonder, after religion and science. Thanks so much for these classes for public access. made free.
Such a great lecturer. I can't recall very many lecturers teaching with this sort of engagement with the class. A real asset to UT, to philosophy and to students. I wish he'd teach a course in LOGIC!
Finally some lectures on the analytic tradition!
A very stimulating and thought provoking yet still accessible lecture. Thank you for posting this, I will have to replay a few times to truly grasp all the concepts.
I watched this video on LSD and I now Understand what life is .. god bless
Anyone who hasn't studied philosophy before, this is perfect! Awesome...
Very nice to see the upload! As well, excellent work on the recording layout. Appreciating too that you have to work with the classroom and many were designed without uploading in mind! Keep up the excellent work professor!!!
Thanks for uploading these lectures, they are great. I love how you drew a straight line through the history of philosophy.
Just keep in mind that Bonevac is a Tump Supporter
I'm glad this lecture series is free. Learning the fundamentals of the analytic tradition is the modern day equivalent to studying the forms and Plato as a pre-requisite to entering the philosophical dialogue.
according to berkeley ideas are
1 concrete
2 abstract
3 both
WHAT A KNOWLEDGEABLE LECTURER AND WONDERFUL CONTENT FROM SOCRATES,PLATO, ARISTOTLE TO AL GHAZALI,AVICENNA, AVERROIS TILL NOW PHILOSOPHY IS LEARNING OF HOW UNIVERSAL PROPERTIES+CONCEPT MAKE OBJECT,LOGIC,REASON AND THOUGHTS
Absolutely agree! It's amazing how philosophy has evolved over time, from the ancient Greek thinkers to the Islamic philosophers. It's all about understanding how universal concepts shape our reasoning and perception of the world. I'm curious, which philosopher do you feel has had the most influence on your own way of thinking?

Excellent lecture really enjoyed it, best regards from the UK
Professor Bonevac, you are one of the most engaging, coherent and educative people one can find. The only thing - sound. This video too to an extent but specifically with the Fall 2016 videos which are the most informative and easy to digest lectures on philosophy you can dream to find. Especially when you are not facing the cam and you are at some distance from it you are really barely intelligible and for someone who is not a native like me (despite my level steadily approaching nativeness) and doesn't naturally fill in all the blanks that can't be heard it is hard to go through the videos.
Please either edit out the ambient noise and bump up midtones or consider using a microphone, a pilot/telemarketer one, not a classic TV reporter stick with a ball.
The world would be a much better place if education like this didn’t lead to a 20-year debt.
I like that this dudes passionate 👍
there should be more passionate teachers^^

An actually substantive lecture on philosophy, by someone who obviously knows the material well.
looking forward to watching the whole series!
Thanks fo the upload
Absolutely, it's exciting to dive into a series like this! The way philosophy can shape our understanding of life is truly fascinating. Which philosopher or concept are you most looking forward to exploring in the series?
I completely understand your excitement! It's always great to dive into a full series when the content is so engaging. Do you have a favorite philosophical topic or thinker that you're hoping the series will cover?
well it was nice to see this.u r a great teacher sir.we all need ur support and ur guide for our future
A reading list for the lectures would be nice. I've been looking for a detailed lecture series on the analytic tradition so thanks a lot for uploading!
this channel is wonderful to listen while working! Thanks for sharing.
Something that has occurred to me is that the "psycho-sociological-economic" dynamic of the classroom teaching "form"-itself-sheds light on this philosophical concern with the understanding of forms. If the class was instead a gardening class, and the goal to grow a garden, the "meaning" of the forms would necessarily be taken for granted in order to effectively accomplish the planting of the garden. By observing the philosophy class, and then the gardening class, and then contrasting the "thought exchange" in the philosophy class with the "action exchange" taking place in the gardening class, we may, here, find our answer to the question of the truth about forms. Not in the contemplation of ideas, but in their planting,
For a syllabus with a list of readings in the course, see philosophical.space/327.
Thanks a lot Dr.!
Could I ask you to enable to add automatic captioning on all of your analytic tradition course?

Great teacher. He reminds me of Ray Manzarek from The Doors
Manzarek was my idol in high school; I played keyboards and learned a bunch of the Doors songs!

According to Plato ( c.428 - c.348bc ), when we are born we fly over the back of heaven and see all these perfect forms, such as a perfect chair and a perfect bed etc, but when we are born we lose this vision, but the one perfect form in heaven as on Earth is love, which gives an inkling of perfect forms in heaven. Unlike materialistic objects which are perceived with the senses forms such as goodness and honesty etc are understood only by reasoning which is why philosophy is so important.

The whys and the hows of human actions and thoughts
A good story is an excellent way out of the problem. It offers much more to chew on than concepts that are too precise and therefore disconnected from actual life.
I wish i could have a chance to attend this wonderful class. But thanks to RUclips. Because at some point i really imagine myself sitting there. And in my thoughts, philosophy is knowledge. it is wisdom.
I'm getting the understanding of it now, you explaining really well, and thank you
I've been exploring similar ideas in my recent videos. It's always inspiring to find others who are just as passionate.
Thank you for this fantastic series, you are a great lecturer.
Great lecture. Not enough on my guy Spinoza but towards the end we are ideas in a world mind nailed it.
This video changed my mind about philosophy.
I want to take a teaching profession after seeing you sir.
Thank you so much for this generous resource.
Great lecture, I learned because it was so interesting. Daniel you are enthusiastic, thank you.
I watch your lectures for entertainment, as well as education, wonderful.
Philosophy is an intuition about reality ever-formulating itself in thought sculptures. In the senses of a real intuition, reality as an intuition, and an intuition of reality.
In my deep intellectual debates among myself. I have asked that same question of clear communication on complex levels between humans. I have concluded the base of the issue Arises from language. As lanuage itself has a limited compasity of expressing what Emotional feelings encompasse. Entertain the notion for a moment. Extretrestreal life's basis of communication is presumed to be telepathic. If thisbe the case, It would make sense that language is a inferior form of communication. At least upon the subject of exchanging understanding with others.
Philosophy is NOT a single subject. Philosophy is a means of, or approach to a particular topic or subject that incorporates or involves the asking and attempting to answer certain questions, just as science is a method of study in order to (both quantitatively and qualitatively) ask and answer certain questions.
Love the energy from this guy.
We don't see packaged goods on store shelves as trash until the contents have been removed like from a bag of chips or a beverage.
Most of the physical possessions we buy may have been bound with a rubber band which we typically would throw away without hesitation; but we still would buy a pack of 50 rubber bands only when we need at least one from that pack...
Hat's off sir for your initiative boosting creative ideas 🧢 off👏
Sir please give me your free idea how much do you understand philosophy with humour...
Philosophy may also be said to be the (high level) study of the essential characteristics of the material world around us and then trying to see whether these essential characteristics of matter are sufficient to provide a logical and convincing explanation regarding who we are and what our mind is made of, relating the external features to the anatomy of our body and considering, above all, the essential characteristics of consciousness and the conscious personality.
What a gift this video is.
I really like the way this was laid out. I’m most likely getting ahead of myself, where does intent become a factor?

Lol! But perhaps some truth in that statement too.
Philosophy is the contemplation of ideas, principles and problems,etc...

Philosophy is the science which considers the truth.
I think rather than rationalism vs empiricism vs skepticism, the more fundamental distinction is idealism vs dualism vs materialism. I am comeple noob, but i think the former are epistemological stances and the later metaphysical. I feel like the criteria for knowledge should depend on the metaphysical premiss. Let's say we can chose arbitrary metaphysics. Then it should entail whether knowledge is possible and by which means etc. I think subjective idealism, starting from the solipsism is the easiest, because every experience is then directly an existent and there is no existent beyond that. So we have absolutely certain metaphysical facts of the present moment and can build any criteria for knowlege on that - like say to know something about the world is to find some relationship between multiple "bundles" of experience. If we start from materialism on the other hand, we have no metaphysical facts about the world and we have to hope that our methods of finding knowlege will conincide with the metaphysical reality (we have a very little segment of reality which is the state of our mind, but we never can know for sure how that is connected to the rest of the world).
I don't know any philosophy but I think I started to like it
''we're striving aimlessly to discover SOMETHING that's already found us with it's own different dimension , our unfounded fear of 'end' and irrational greed for truth and answers to questions will be our undoing!'' Jim Morrison.
good overview of the concepts thank you. It didn't look like they solved the problem of form, they just described it in different ways or dismissed one element over emphasis on another element, which still doesn't solve the problem. I hope there is a continuance to the next attempts. It gave me the idea of nature vs nurture what Plato said. I would have used the example of animals about how they are born with instinctive knowledge, where the food is, mating rituals, other things seem not learned but instinctive. We're animals so we must have some instincts we were born with. I was thinking that our brains have the ability to understand concepts, to see patterns, to learn language constructs.
I could see where philosophy broke away from theology ans physics in this lecture as well. The last point scrubs out physics and just keeps philosophy in the realm of thought experiments and perceptions of the real world and how to acurately describe the world in a way we can all agree on.
In the beginning of this lecture all I could was Kurosawa’s Rashomon. Inreliability of witnesses. And something I think of a thing is obviously different from the other person and all the other people as well. I don’t know if that makes any sense.
Wow, you are a very good teacher, Very well explained :)
Thank you! 😃
If he ever wanted to, that guy could do a phenomenal Jeff Goldblum impression
You are remarkably smart!!
Questions that flowered the discipline of philosophy some maybe most people would call absurd perhaps.
But, in my own life anyway they are the only questions truly worthy of both wanting as well as needing an answer to. It's understood, these questions are a luxury of leisure. Human beings are the only animals which have had this opportunity.
You can survive without asking these questions,
but only humanity has asked them, only humanity can.
It's a departure from all of the requisite 'hows' in life.
Once humanity arrived, philosophy-proper could finally ask the 'why'.
No apriori jokes.
Hes such a good teacher
Love this.
all good. just wanted pragmatism but i hung around til end thanks
It doesn't really matter if 'the stamp' from the 'evil deceiver' is right or wrong (about 26:05) by what we human perceivers decide as right or wrong it only matters that it's consistent. This is the whole problem with humans as told in the first temptation story in Genesis. I.e. it's a story about a self definition of what is good for me rather than relying on an external constant, even if that constant may if fact turn out to be an 'evil deceiver.'
This opend my mind
This was really impressive ❤
philosophy can also be to be a friend to wise people and to go the distence with them as well as na epivlithi over them.
