  • These are the texts I own in hard copy that relate to ancient philosophy and medieval philosophy.
    Perhaps at another time, a later date, I will do a tour of my texts from early-modern philosophy.

    You throw around and handle books the way one does with an old useless magazine

      And I'd like to add that this was a rushed presentation of mumbling and talking under his breath. Seems the only thing he enjoyed saying was that he read all the books in 6.5 months. LOL

    This is a really good reading list.
    Did the Romans also make some philosophical contributions, or is it mostly greeks?
    Isn't there also a Neoplatonic school, and the Pythagoreans?

    @8:32 "Tertullian was quite wrong." Yeah, you clearly aren't familiar with Tertullians writings or the context of that oft-quoted line of his. Tertullian didn't believe in a necessary severring between Jerusalem and Athens. Here's an excerpt from theologian Paul Tyson to fill you in, since you obviously don't have much knowledge on this topic:
    "Tertullian had, as his polemic targets in his writings, Marcion and Gnosticism. Marcion couldn't reconcile the God of the Hebrew Scriptures with the revelation of God via Christ. He identified "God" in the Hebraic Scriptures as the evil demiurge of Middle Platonism, who creates matter and is thus full of the base passions of this lowly realm. This demiurge, Marcion maintains, is not the properly divine God that Jesus reveals to us. Hence, civilzed and rational Greeks could believe in the Christian revelation only if they clearly dissociated it from its Hebraic origins and the base materialism of claiming that Jesus was God in human flesh. Thus, to cleanse the Christian revelation of characteristics unworthy of Greek theology, Marcion jettisoned the Old Testament, denied that Christ was God Incarnate, and developed his own restricted canon of New Testament writings so as to have a Christian faith that was compatible with the dignity and eternal impassibility of a purely spiritual Greek divinity.
    Tertullian will have nothing of this. If the vetting of divine revelation by the inconclusive and merely speculative fashions of Greek philosophy is "reason", then Tertullian embraces absurdity. Tertullian's argument, however, is dripping with irony and is a powerful critique of what Marcion thinks of as "reason". For it seems clear to Tertullian that if you were merely dreaming up your own rational theology then of course you would not embrace Christian revelation. What this demonstrates to Tertullian is that "rational theology" is an entirely human invention, not a revelation fo God at all, and as a merely human production it has no truth, and hence no true rationality."

      Yeah this is an old video. I learned almost a year ago that Tertullian did not say that line. It was from another author, who we now dub pseudo-Tertullian. But he most certainly was wary about associating the Scriptures with Greek philosophy as much as others like Athenagoras were

    Where do you get your book tabs? They’re very cute.
    Also your voice has the potential for a very good Patrick Bateman impression.
