You need more Pokemon metaphors; dozens of videos and I finally get it.

It doesn't make sense why there aren't more people watching your content... I find them very helpful. I like the way you structure the phrases, paraphrase and give examples to make the concepts clear. Just one small suggestion: at 0:33, you mentioned the video you made previously. It would be great if a link to that video is provided in video description or as an annotation.

Very informative!! As a Marxist I found this to be very enlightening. It gives me a better grasp of dialectics and the utilization of it. your videos are always educational and bring a great clarity.

Excellent video

It's my understanding that Aristotle borrowed "The Heap (Sorites) Paradox" from a contemporary of his named Eubulides, whom openly detested Aristotle, funnily enough. I cannot say I've ever heard tale of its genesis being accredited to any of the pre-Socratic philosophers; the Sophists or prior-to -- though I wouldn't be surprised, to be sure. The more I read of pre-Platonic philosophy, the more I come to appreciate that we are indeed standing on the shoulders of giants. Thanks for all your philosophical analyses Julian -- you help make German Idealism fun to learn about.

very well done, Julian :)

I like the notion of a 'negative of the negative.' I find this in Zizek all the time, his conclusions often go 'it's not _this_ what we would assume but precisely the opposite'.

@julianphilosophy Great exposition Julian! Videos are really helpful. Is there any way that you can, at least in the Hegel videos, cite your sources so that I can go and read some more? I've trying to break into Hegel for a while but not sure exactly where to focus all my attention.Thanks

I never thought about the Sorites paradox being dialectical before. Interesting.

How does one think diuretically?

Can you PLEASE do this same video for people that don’t know the basics of philosophy? I feel like you’re knocking it out of the park but there’s a language barrier issue that stops this video short of being shareable. I get that there’s issues in overly reducing things too but maybe meet people half way by explaining even some of the basic ideas?

For your "All-For-One" example- would he not also encapsulate the 'lifting up'/ascension of Aufheben with his ability to combine perks and improve their capabilities?

Ah, so "negation of the negation" is really more comparable to a phrase like "double negative", since both mean that two negatives end up making a positive statement. I think the phrasing of "negation of the negation" can often evoke a different idea, where the usurper is himself usurped, in a sense.

Where is the relationship of quality and quantity in killing of Ceasar?

I would prefer not to. 😂

Maybe so...

What is that concept called and who is it from, "ob je ah" or "ab je ah"?

Is it possible for you to give examples of real life phenomena? I don't think I understand it.

Interpretive framework? Hello mr. Kant still alive i see

Plato defined the word Dialectic very clearly, and his definition is what the computer's around the word function by. Only an illiterate would claim that dialectic takes a ridiculous adjective. Speech in accordance with the two parts of a thing, relative and correlative, or binary. And as Plato stated, one can construct geometric paradigms of any reasoning which my work, rather encyclopedic, demonstrates and proves.

If the dialectics isn't a method, then why would it be suggested to observe matters dialectically and benefit from it?

IN TEN MINUTES!

Next level: trialectical thinking

got as far as 'the dialectic is essentially an interpretive framework' and turned it off. hegel isn't gadamer. it IS a systemic methodology.

Couldn't understand.

Nahhh I dont really FEEL like it

So you finally admitted that dialectics isn't (aren't?) an universal principle, since it is valuable only in particular cases that include sublation...
