Thank you for making this video. I am grateful to make it to weird side of youtube were articulate, intelligent and distinguished people exist. Please keep making your videos, I am subscribing now. :)
Some believe he has a mouth under that beard, others believe that an entire galaxy resides below his fabulous follicles. But chose to believe that's where he hides his fancy pipe and teabags.
The only people worse than you guys on youtube are the ultra racists. This from someone who is constantly on reddit. You don't even make an effort to be clever anymore it's just "oh le reddit army is here we're going to take over this video." then you guys just circle jerk for a few hours while everyone watching makes a pact to never use reddit because apparently it's the most annoying fucking website out there.
+MrJbkilla whats the problem? reddit brings alot of eyes to the creators video and will increase his subscriber count and talk and teach a large variety of people who wouldnt have come. From what i can see most people who have come and commented recently are very supportive and being pretty supportive. What the issue you see with it?
+SaintSoulja it's not about the general reddit public it's the 100 or so odd users that just sit on r/videos and get one every single one just to go comment about "le reddit army" and then go back to reddit to wait for the next video so they can do the same thing over and over.
A very nice and convincing attempt of tryng to défine What Philosophy is by a very learned scholar but quite simple and clear as well and here we go along With Plato Descartes Hume and Russel all great minds of humanity,philosophers and scientists too,that is quite enough for an introduction to knowledge without forgetting the lovely cat.
Just remembered what else I was going to say I didn’t realise the length of time you have been on RUclips this video is eight years old. I only knew your existence from watching you on the circle you was amazing I also liked Woody
Professor Wilson, I'm enjoying your lessons, but I have only found 4 lessons out of the 10 you say there will be. Can these lessons be found somewhere? Thanks again.
I love that you see the links between Platonism and Gnosticism. Many appreciate that it has that influence but few read one in light of the other and it's something I love doing. Not just "Gnosticism" but all of religion. Lowercase g gnosticism. A theology based on knowlege over faith. Loaning "gnosis" to English makes it sounds almost magical but it really just means "knowledge" or in other words seeking education. Not "having" knowlege (only know that I know nothing) but "seeking" it (know thy self) I also disagree with Descartes about animal souls. I love his "I think therefor I am" though.
Thank you for teaching me a new word . theology The study of the nature of God and religious belief. Not sure how long I will be able to retain this knowledge for maybe until the morning
Wow! Thank you for this video...it definately cleared up some things that i didn't know and gave me a hunger for things such as methodology which i think will be useful when i am doing my Philosophy paper this year...not that i would use that kind of wisdom for evil,,,,,,though, it would be good if i could develope it for myself. but i think there is something about methodology which i was trying so hard to understand which i couldn't understand really though i knew that it was really good to cultivate and have that kind of wisdom for myself....so thank you. In my studies of theology, i do often wonder about the relationship with the soul and the body which i am unsure of. I guess not all Christians may agree with each other about the soul and the body.........i guess right now, i am thinking that the soul and the body are connected intimately. I think the body can be "tainted" with original sin, and that with the right amount of experience and teaching you can successfully go through and come out fine from a wilderness experience that Jesus also went through. I don't know really, in the Bible, i think it does say that our bodies will decay and experience death, and that the righteous will also be given new bodies as well. i guess we must have the same soul/spirit when we get our new bodies so maybe the relationship with the soul and the body while here on earth during our first lives are not that connected really. i don't know.
Tim - I found you thanks to the circle but find your way of explaining complex topics and articulating your opinion truly wonderful. I wish you’d have time to do more educational pieces such as this among your more topical work. Thank you and stay safe!
'Get the question right.' I had a professor in a philosophy of religion course tell us 'religion is understood on a problem-solution basis. It suggests a human problem, and then you believe in this solution.' I ask 'well what if you don't believe that the problem is -truly- thee, problem.' He offered a sports analogy and so I took up engineering.
+Peter Parker I was surprised to find that the link I put on reddit got 2500 link karma! I was just interested by this man, and thought that his approach was unique and he was very eloquent, so I shared it. Interesting how things work...
I read a lot of Plato in my younger days. Could you recommend a book that gives a good overview of philosophers/ philosophies since then? Something to give me a taste of things so I can investigate things further myself.
+Daisy Chain One of my personal favourites is The Story of Philosophy by Will Durant. He does a very good job of describing the ideas and lives of several philosophers over the ages such as James, Nietzsche, Russell, Bergson, and many others.
+Daisy Chain In my intro philosophy class I took several years back we read Sophie's world. I found it helpful in understanding some of the more difficult to digest concepts. Some will find it simplistic and juvenile though.
At 8:30 it's "there are more things on Heaven and Earth, Horatio". It's funny how much Tim Wilson has changed since this. It's like he's realised it's all just bullsh1t. "Old people care about their general health and children ignore the causality of existence and play with trains instead". Front page news, that is. 4:55 doesn't suck. It's funny people that own a Tony Blair book because they care what he said and did in his political career instead of thinking he's a big beautiful mother with a big crazy neck.
First ten seconds in: "I shall enver watch anything else"
Enver, sure.
I cannot even express how much I appreciate this video. The cat was golden. You are 10 out of 10 on the classy scale sir.
On the (cl)assy scale as well.
The back catalogue of Professor Tim is so good. What depth!
I'd love to hear him talk about his others interests!
He talks with such a sincere way!
I don’t doubt that it comes from his deep empathy and open mindedness.
This guy could narrate the shit out of a Thomas the Tank Engine episode

This is my favorite channel from now on.
This channel is awesome! Also nice cat.
Have you ever considered recording for audiobooks? You have an excellent voice.
Epic beard.
Epic cat
What a great tone and rhythm to your explanations.
Thank you for making life much more understandable.
You should consider doing a podcast. I would love to be able to listen on my commute. Thanks for the video!
le reddit legions are here. prepare yourself for a boost in subscribers my philisophical friend.

6:20. the dumb person impression, followed by "well I don't care" is perfect.
Tim Thank you for teaching me a new word theology the study of the natural

Brought here by a meme about your PewDiePie video.
Glad I checked out more of your channel.

Tim, you are so wonderful. You would absolutely be my favourite professor. X
No Professor Tim, I expect you to help save the world. 😂😂😂
You speak a lot of truth.
such a distinguished cat!
Thanks for the lesson professor.
brilliant. many thanks.
A copy of Howl's Walking Castle in Japanese on the background got you my like and subscription. Did you read it?

This feels more like a conversation than a lecture. Love it.

so the cat is getting the ASMR .. i see how it is
Single volume edition of the Greek Myths published by the Folio Society. Nice one, I have the two volume edition.
hilarious cat in introduction. is like Bond! Blofeld?
A man who needs appreciating more. humour and intellect as well as skill as an artist. You don't get better than this!
Imagine the world where greek influence prevailed and philosophy is still the same thing as religion.
'Get the question right.' I had a professor in a philosophy of religion course tell us 'religion is understood on a problem-solution basis.

"It's not your fault"
what about the study of mathematics to be introduced to abstract thought?
+shruthi sharma He said it's the easiest, not the only one.
I think Vsauce takes the Maths approach.
totally robin williams
I thought the same thing
He's prettier and more beautiful than Robin Williams. Especially here, 8 years ago. And his voice is just beyond description.
Where can I find the rest of the talks in this series?
+Yash Oza on this youtube channel I assume.
+Paul Tee One would say this is an educated guess
nice channel
That Japanese copy of Howl's Moving Castle right above the dictionary :D
Hello there, you have a lovely cat!
I thought this was very exciting until I saw the lot of books about Thatcher and Blair... it got me into thinking... what does this mean?
you should not only read stuff you agree with.
for example it is a valuable study to look at nazi-propaganda.
Lova aaa How does one know thine enemy without gathering information on them?
Awesome that you also have Joe Sacco comics :D
here comes reddit
+Dehvon C hahahehehi
Rule 1 of reddit is that you don't mention it to outsiders.
+Peter Parker I was surprised to find that the link I put on reddit got 2500 link karma! I was just interested by this man, and thought that his approach was unique and he was very eloquent, so I shared it. Interesting how things work...
I LOVE THE 🐈
I read a lot of Plato in my younger days. Could you recommend a book that gives a good overview of philosophers/ philosophies since then? Something to give me a taste of things so I can investigate things further myself.
Bertrand Russell's History of Western Philosophy
+Daisy Chain One of my personal favourites is The Story of Philosophy by Will Durant. He does a very good job of describing the ideas and lives of several philosophers over the ages such as James, Nietzsche, Russell, Bergson, and many others.
+Daisy Chain In my intro philosophy class I took several years back we read Sophie's world. I found it helpful in understanding some of the more difficult to digest concepts. Some will find it simplistic and juvenile though.
Thanks, I've already read Sophie's world and you're right. I definitely found it childish.
+brdy724 Ok, I'll give that a whorl. Thanks.
Joe Sacco in your bookshelf.
*Subcribes*
Love this man 😂❤️❤️
That cat is boss.
REDDIT GILDED MOD HERE. MEMES™ INCOMING. PEPPER YOUR ANGUS (example of a meme™ used only by the reddit elite).
+Max J lifting videos you're a loser.
+Nanometry rekt
+Max J lifting videos Fuck you. It's not funny.
Nice one mate
Is that a picture of you and Billy Bob Thorton?
Different types of opinions
I can't see it clearly, but is that a Mark VI Bentley convertable? (Sorry)
The Hamlet quote was slightly wrong-it's "Heaven and Earth", not "Heaven and Hell".
yeah yeah fascinating and all, but does your cat have a twitter account i should know about?
Please, what breed of cat is that cat?
I believe it is a sub breed of Siamese cats.
Blaau It seems very Burmese to me.
it is siamese
It is a seal point Siamese.
I studied fizzioligy.
I spent 5 years learning how to put BUBBLES into Lemonade
Sean Maguire?
Lovely cat!
This guy looks like knowledge
Not only do you look like Robin Williams, (from a pre deceased healthier time!) you sound like him, coupled with his mannerisms.
thank you

Who's here because of the circle ?

And the cat!
I do like the German philosophers
If you have to come on... And cat jump and that way the philosophy began
