Dear sir: I took a Chinese history course and the professor says Taoism is pronounced Daoism
@stevechu45662 жыл бұрын
@@oobrocks In Chinese language, 道 is pronounced as Dao throughout history. Both English words Tao and Dao refer to the same Chinese character 道. However 道 was translated into Taoism before People's Republic of China adopted the Romanization system of Pinyin in 1958. After the Pinyin system was adopted in China, the word 道 has been translated into Dao, hence Daoism. Today, one can pronounce the word Taoism as Taoism and Daoism as Daoism. It would be a bit odd to pronounce Taoism as Daoism, although there is no right or wrong about pronouncing both words interchangeably. People will understand it either way.

This was an absolute joy to listen to. I appreciate the work you put into this. I’ve resonated the most with Nietzsche personally, although admittedly I have not read enough philosophy yet to say definitively that another philosopher wouldn’t hit closer to home for me. I can see the future of philosophy heading towards developing the intuition of the self. Already I am noticing a trend in society of people who are turning away from modernity’s promise of what brings happiness. More people are realizing that their fulfillment cannot come from anywhere other than the self. In addition to that, with our exposure to clashing world views having increased drastically so much in the last 15 years I believe more people will have to adopt Nietzsche’s views on morality to keep themselves from suffering from all the ideological clashing. I believe as the good word spreads that recognizing there is no one “goodness” or “truth” out there and that we can healthily disagree on anything, people will want to adopt that world view more and the people who stay tethered to a single ideology will begin to be shunned.

Btw Why do 99% of your videos are based on western stupidity which they call "philosophy" and you've also termed it as "philosophy", I may be over generalising western so-called philosophical literature, but my over generalisation is right to many context. Yes, Socrates is an exception. But all other psychologist turned philosophers haven't really wrote much compared to what Aryan Saints(Noble Saints) have wrote in India. You're of Indian origin and You only talk about those who are popular Indian like Buddha or Tagore or your understanding is not enough to deeply understand other than Buddha and Tagore? Anyway, If you really understood Buddha, then it is enough to sum up the conclusions of all Indian philosophies. But, meditation becomes torturous sometimes, and this is when you look up to other philosophical works coming from a religion which is not discussed publicly for it's contribution to humanity. Santana Dharma aka Hinduism, if you want to understand it - Study Osho. He have better understanding of the hindu scriptures, more than any Hindu or Brahmins.

at first i wasnt going to write anything, but then i thought of how unfair it wouldve been to take all that information and give nothing in return. To answer your question at the end, i believe in the coming centuries, or even decades, we will see a sort of renaissance of philosophy, a return to great ideas and ideologies of past times. as of late we’ve seen ideas such as stoicism return through self help and self improvement creators on social media platforms. these creators implant their views onto the youth and from there the youth will adapt and evolve these views and ideas. whether thats a good or bad thing i cannot say. since most of these creators are men targeting boys and young men, i think theres a great possibility that for female targeted philosophies will evolve as well. another idea is that since most of these creators seem to be conservative, we will see another branch of philosophy grow, a more liberal one, in order to combat the conservative views of these new aged philosophers. i also think the idea that philosophy will branch off into the study of intuition as opposed to rationality and instinct is interesting as well. thank you for this video, 2 hours and 30 minutes put to good use. the joy of learning something you’re interested in is unlike anything else and so for gifting me that, again, thank you.

I’m so grateful for the many hours and effort you put into this video. What excellent work!! Although I’ve had general knowledge of all the philosophers covered, nothing I’ve read or watched has tied the history and the reason for their distinction together so clearly. I’m going to recommend this to friends, but more importantly, to my adult children. I have one comment: I tend to look for what philosophers said about the optimal way to live my life (acknowledging my unavoidable biases). So, instead of seeing where they are different, I search for all the aspects of their thought where they overlap, (even if their own egos have been obstacles on the road to synthesis). I don’t see them as 100% at odds with each other. I run the similarities through my internal ‘judgement’ ie - does it “feel right” - based on my moral/ethical constructs (biases) and my life experience. Those then become my truth. The support of these philosophers then gives me the confidence to create my own principles for living. This has been most enjoyable!I can’t wait to watch your other videos. Thank you. ❤

I love this video, but as a Buddhist, your description of it is a bit off. Buddhists don’t believe in any soul, we see the person as an aggregate of matter, feelings, cognition, volitions, and consciousness, and a being is merely a stream of this like Heraclitus’s thought of never stepping in the same river twice. By stopping clinging and craving of these phenomena, Nirvana, which is kinda like Schopenhauer’s thought of the Will is achieved thus enlightenment. Ignorance of that is thus the creator of all suffering.

Having finished several critiques of Postmodernism, which I personally find detrimental to today's culture, I realized that I needed a basic framework for learning about philosophy's history, evolution, and myriad schools of thought. Your epic video provides me an excellent start for this. . Your use of comparison and contrast (e.g., Rationalism v. Empiricism, Animalism v. Humanism, Elitism v. Egalitarianism) makes clearer what hitherto has been blurry about the various schools and their adherents. . I particularly like your synopsis that Eastern Philosophy (derived of rivers and farmers) is fatalistic, stressing changing oneself, while Western Philosophy (derived of oceans and merchants) is activistic, stressing changing the world. One small nitpick: Greece is not a colder climate than China. . Congratulations on a prodigious product (if that is not too materialist to say...)!

@Fiction Beast thank you for the great content, keep up the good work. In praise and on a side note before I get to the answer of the question at the end of the video, I would like to say that, I was able to get through the end of the video and I am happy to inform you that this was my first structured lesson in Philosophy, a kind crash course or an enlightenment and exposure to a body of knowledge 2500 years old and all of it in a 2hr30+ session, I am akin a to a proverbial "knowledge virgin" who has just been deflowered, and I loved it. I think that personally I tend to resonate with these philosophies: 1.kant's middle ground of empiricism and rationality. 2.The eastern approach of focusing on yourself as the primary agent to change,but with an understanding of the viability and practicality to pursue change in my environment, hence I came to understand why I believe in the concept of universal sufferage or the right to vote, voting being an act of democracy and of determining ones fate. On the question of the future of Philosophy, I believe in the inference thay historical determination will pervade, in that the question of the death of Philosophy will one day become a Philosophy in itself, meaning there shall be new ways of looking at the fundamental questions of life from a lens of elementary ashes of the traditional philosophy which will represent the good old philosophy but with a more modern flavor. I hope that I was able to answer clear and valid points. Keep up the good work 🙏🙏🙏

@@Fiction_Beast Jagadish Vasudev OBVIOUSLY possesses an above-average intellect (although he often makes truly inane statements, such as “plants are more sensitive than animals, and they scream in pain when being eaten”). However, if anyone considers him a "Sadhguru" then kindly explain to me how a so-called "prophet” (Jagadguru) can possibly support the two most PERNICIOUS institutions in the history of the world... F.I.S.H. Paragraph 28. Feminism is the penultimate evil at present because feminism is based on the misguided assumption that women are equal to or even superior to men. Although a female can exhibit superior traits, skills, etcetera, to some men, a woman can never have AUTHORITY over a man. Truth be told, no true man would ever descend to the level of accepting counsel from any of his subordinates. A man should fully obey his appointed masters and never emasculate himself by submitting to the dictates of a female. Feminism and democracy are guaranteed to destroy society, as can be clearly seen at present. However, feminism will NEVER EVER be destroyed until the most pernicious institution is first destroyed: F.I.S.H Paragraph 26. Democracy is evil because the masses will invariably choose the murderous Barabbas over the good King Jesus. This planet is surely doomed unless the most pernicious institution ever known to man (democracy) is replaced by the only legitimate form of government (monarchy - preferably a good monarch, though even a bad king is preferable to being ruled by an elected official who can never be good). Most of the problems in human society are directly or indirectly attributable to this relatively modern phenomenon, since it is the government’s role and sacred duty to enforce the law. Just because good and bad are relative, does not imply that they do not exist. They do exist but are relative. A democrat can never be good, despite appearing so. One of the many sinister characteristics of democracy, communism and other evil forms of governance, is the desire for their so-called “leaders” to attempt to control or at least influence the personal lives of every single citizen. For example, in the wicked, decadent nation where this holy scripture was composed, The Southland (or Australia as it is known in the Latin tongue), the demonic government tries and largely succeeds in controlling the rights of parents to properly raise, discipline and punish their children according to their own morals, limiting legitimate powers an employer has over his servants, persecuting religious leaders (even to imprisonment and death, believe it or not) and even trying to influence what people eat and wear. Not that a government shouldn’t control what its citizens wear in public, but it should ensure that they are modestly dressed, which is hardly the case in Australia and similar nations. Basically, the worst of the democratic governments promote or at least permit all things contrary to God’s perfect and pure will such as adultery, fornication, prostitution, pornography, homosexuality, gambling (even running lotteries themselves), illegitimate abortion of poor innocent unborn children, irreligion, drug addiction, disrespect for authority and promoting materialism and ignorance via a powerful network of institutions of miseducation (so-called “schools, colleges and universities”). Let it be known however - democracy can not and will not endure. The truth shall triumph! Democracy is only acceptable within large business corporations, where the shareholders must vote on who will be the company bosses and other matters. To read the remaining chapters of “A Final Instruction Sheet for Humanity”, which are the most accurate spiritual precepts so far in human history, Email me with the acronym “FISH” in the subject field. 🐟 “The gateway to KNOWLEDGE is ignorance”. 🤓

Great job, Fiction Beast. I had left my KZfaq playing while I slept, and I heard most of this video in a long dream! In this dream I was talking to a very intelligent man who was telling me his philosophy, and I kept waiting for a break to tell him what I had. But I couldn't get a word in edgewise! And then I found I was at a place where other intelligent men were espousing their philosophies, as well. And all the while I noted how these men all had pieces of the Truth, but I knew that none of them had the whole package like I do. And because of their constant talking I never got to enlighten them...because I finally woke up and found that I was two hours into a video that had been playing in my dream! (This video.) Nothing like this has ever happened to me before. Yes, great job, Fiction Beast. Hundreds of years of thinking and thousands of IQ points involved, and some of these philosophers got close - but all of them missed the boat. And some of their erroneous ideas have been used by some of the most evil men in this world (like Hitler) to justify their misdeeds. But the ancient Egyptians and the pre-Socratics already had it nailed. And with an IQ less than 130, so do I. Because, we didn't use intellect to try and find the Ineffable. We simply listened. We listened to The Source of All. And I authored a tiny book that can be read in only 5 minutes (at no cost online) that answers all of the meaningful philosophical questions that these men had and all of humanity shares. And my bigger (Amazon) book does so with full explanation and annotation. Click and ye shall find. I communicate through my sites only.

This is an amazing distillation of human thought. Thank you for it! I am pretty shocked, however, that someone like Jordan Peterson is mentioned in the same video with the great philosophical thinkers of recorded human history.

You really achieved something here: to summarize and condensate millenia of philosophical though in 2 and 1/2 hours, wasn't an easy task. As a student of philosophy myself, i hope that many of yout viewers will be encouraged by this introduction to dive deeper into the history of human thinking, since this is one of the best ways to investigate the essence of who we are, both as individuals and as complex civilizations, how did we get to where we stand now and, eventually, how we can learn to live together in harmony and mutual respect. Well done!

I have only listened to the first 20 minutes so far, but already I can see that this video is accomplishing something huge - akin to the periodic table for human thought. You are providing a unifying framework and narrative for how philosophy, literature, science and psychology all fit together - an a reflection of your tremendous mind, knowledge, effort and generosity! Thank you.

This was an excellent video. Well done. I did wish you expanded more on intuition. Jonathan Haidt's book called "The Righteous Mind" delved on how morality originates first from intuition then reason. But this agrees on David Hume's stance on how reason is a slave to our passions which you've mentioned already. I don't really have any favourites but I find myself being more interested in empiricism views of Hume, Schopenhauer and Kierkegaard. As well as traditional views of Tagore, Sadhguru, Guenon and Simone Weil.

I wanna learn more about religions and get deeper into philosophy, I think there's a force behind it all, but I like how taoists leave an open space, when it comes to defining it, because no one has gotten that far, I love how Buddhism and taoism merged and gave birth to chan/Zen Buddhism, I see overlapping and similar ideas in different philosophies and validity on different points of views, depending on the circumstances at a give time and situation. So, the journey continues, the tao of philosophy

The philosophy that resonated with me the most was that of Schopenhauer, Kierkegard, and Nietzche. I think that philosophy is going in the direction of objective vs subjective truth, and science vs religion.
@garymelnyk7910 Жыл бұрын
Myself I don’t think philosophy goes in any direction. That would assume some linear progression. I recommend the brilliant essay by William Hazlitt (possibly the best prose writer in English) “Why the Arts Are Not Progressive”. Also John D Barrow (brilliant mathematician at Cambridge University) says something similar in his most profound statement: “A Universe simple enough to understand could not have created a mind capable of understanding it”.

Giving this a thumbs up before even finishing the video out of respect. This must have taken you quite some time to decide what to put in and leave out of this video. Philosophy is such a huge topic.

This is very well done. I noticed you did not touch on Baruch Spinoza. Was there a reason for this omission? Hegel said, "The fact is that Spinoza is made a testing-point in modern philosophy, so that it may really be said: You are either a Spinozist or not a philosopher at all.”

Great video, as an hindu philosophy enthusiast i can say that the western thinkers in name of change destroyed the society , playing with nature, too much change is what resulting in our downfall whereas eastern philosophies more of focus on living with nature , understanding it , adapt with it and live happily, there are rational parts in many eastern philosophies like sankhya darshan , nyay darshan , advait vedanta, and many more
