Definitely looking forward to this, It’s so great to see you expanding to the British idealsista it’s so great to see you expanding to the British idealists, you might just keep going to the present date ideas !! Thanx Chris
Bradley had a non-teaching Fellowship: he never had to lecture or teach. On the point about avoiding meetings - it's not clear that this was so.The impression I gained was was he was assiduous in attendance, illness permitting. He suffered from a long term kidney disease.
@TheYoungIdealist I think so. This is how it would best look for nowadays, I think-it's the same spirit anyway, and maybe a little more specialized than general in parts but this is even better if so; yours and Mathew Seagall's content is unique on YT compared to most other philosophical content I've found-the same endeavor renewed imo, so Bryan would approve, certainly, and I thank you.
@@nupraptorthementalist3306 Many, many thanks, I humbled by your very kind comments. Matt will be on my series next week to discuss Rudolf Steiner and his relation to German Idealism
@@GaretCrossman Very true! However, I don't have that awesome English accent or the comfy couch. Sometimes difference is a good thing. I like to think that Magee's spirit has carried on in my series. I think he would have enjoyed it! Thank you for your comment.
Wow Chris , Ben was an extraordinary guest . No sooner I finish his book on schellings naturalism ,you go and have him speak on Bradley ! It really was neat hearing him discourse about the biographical aspects of Bradley’s life because I have searched for a biography of Bradley for years and come up short , unlike Heidegger I truly do value the lives of the great thinkers . I learned just as much from what they did as I do from what they wrote . I’m working my way through all of the “intellectual biographies” of the great thinkers , it really does help contextualize there a thought . Along with any video lectures I find on RUclips , including the incredible Brian McGee !! I am so thrilled to learn that we have an appreciation for those shows in common . I loved seeing him talk with all of his guests , from Chomsky to Martha nussbaum. And when I first discovered your dialogue series I thought to myself “Chris is continuing in the tradition of Brian McGee and Plato with the Socratic dialogue type of discussion“ Thanks a million Chris and don’t forget to give me your assessment of schellings Clara dialogue , it would really be fantastic if you gave us a short video discussing its philosophical merit and where it stands for u when compared to the freedom essay
You want to see a video on Clara? Interesting it is a very important piece in the Schelling corpus but it relates more to the Ages of the World. At one point I actually thought it was Schelling's way of dealing with the present and also doing justice to his lost love Caroline who is voiced by the main character Clara! I will definitley think about it!
It’s so interesting that you bring up Caroline, because I just finished Andrea wulfs book “magnificent rebels“ and it dealt with Caroline’s life even deeper than the “ Jena 1800 book ( and I see you have the cover of that book taped up on your sliding glass mirror closet door along with the pictures of Schelling and other thinkers) I never realized all the trials and tribulations she went through, and I surely didn’t realize the depth of her relationship with Schelling and how it must of devastated him, I mean I know you covered it briefly in your biographical video on him but damn it was tragic. Part of the reason I don’t know her that well is that the only biography I see of her is in German and I think there is a biography of schelling in French, I know you said Bruce Matthews was working on a biography of him, are there any updates on it .? But seeing as how I can’t currently read German I am blocked off from those books, but I got “German for reading knowledge third edition by Hubert jannach.” And “German quickly a grammar for reading German by April Wilson” And I intend to start trying to teach myself. Tell me honestly Christopher, do you think reading German is easier than speaking and understanding it .!? I mean I saw that one dialogue you had with that German woman and you translated the German word for “astounding or overwhelming“ pretty well. Do you recommend any other German language reading resources that would help me or did you learn how to read it in a classroom with a teacher .? As always Christopher thank you for your time, and please let me know what you thought of Andrea‘s “magnificent rebels“ do you know she also has a book on Alexander von Humboldt and she would probably make for a great guest on your series some time in the future.

Cool to continue on with what Bryan Magee was doing. Good way to think about it.
I really appreciate the comment, and hope I am doing Magee justice!

The intros were short, and they were always given by Magee, not by the interviewee.

Maybe you can invite Bernard Kastrup on your show
