"Hey it's Cuck" Chuckled heartily.

"Hey, it's CUCK" Such a powerful, alpha level opening

thank you mister Ｃｕｃｋ

Glad to hear you liked theorizing patriarchy as much as I did.

The analytic philosophy chart made me think of a "continental philosophy virgin vs analytical philosophy chad" meme, and the equally reductionist nature of such comparisons.

rick and rorty

Thanks, Cuck, for your kind mentioning of my book. I really appreciate that. If you would like to be on our show, "The Hypermodernity Podcast" at some point to discuss your favorite books, we would love to have you.

I love the background music this time around. Great video as always.

I better see 12 rules for life on this list.

Sartrey... lord have mercy. But seriously good video. And I would love a continental/analytic philosophy vid. (Escpecailly because im a stupid undergrad who likes continental philosophy but didnt really understand the difference until after i started studying in the UK. Really could have used a video like that a year ago...)

9:02 omg it's the Chinese Marx anime!!!

Finally you are back!! please make more videos... I just discovered youw chanel and I've been Very excited..the best channel about philosophy on yt.

lol I don't know if anyone here watches booktube, but it would be hilarious if in the middle of all these philosophy books you just recommended an edgy YA High Fantasy erotica retelling of Rumpelstiltskin novel like the shit they read on there.

I've read Marx unprepared when I was 21. As you said the Manifesto and Das Kapital. Fuck I was not prepared, that took me significantly longer than I thought. But made a paper on the discrepancies between Marx and the implementation of communist regimes. I soon realized Marx and Engels ideas were not implemented and that secondary sources often got him quite wrong, even contemporary sources. The dumbest thing I did was listen to a secondary source saying you had to have a complete understanding of Hegel's Phenomenology of Mind, and going in there unprepared as well........starting with the fucking preface, which was quite the chore on it's own. After that I decided to become someone who professionally breaks bricks with his head. Had to get it of my chest, that fucking paper still haunts me in my dreams. Unbearable Lightness is also an incredible book. Though I'm more right-leaning and conservative than you I think it's a great list.

One of the best things I read concerning cybernetics from the 90s is N. Katherine Hayle's "How we became post-human". Really explores the idea of information as embodied and the cultural history of the concepts of information and data.

Correction at 13:07 Nietzsche doesn’t say all events return eternally, he says we should live as if that were the case

"Nietzsche says that all events return eternally." Perhaps this is worded poorly, but taken at face value it is blatantly wrong. Nietzsche posited the idea of the Eternal Reoccurance not as a statement of fact but as a thought-experiment, one by which you could gauche whether the life you are leading now is worthy to be repeated eternally. Quoted from 'Der Fröhliche Wissenschaft' ('The Gay Science'): "What if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: 'This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more' ... Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus? Or have you once experienced a tremendous moment when you would have answered him: 'You are a god and never have I heard anything more divine.'"

I read Kundera's Unbearable Lightness of Being as a teenager, (too) many years ago, and way before I got into Nietzsche. I don't remember the book much, but I do remember it informing my understanding of eternal return.

Great recommendations! I definitely agree with your evaluations of Rorty and Marx. They are great thinkers and well worth a read. That last book, "Life Without Money," really seems like one I'd like to pick up.

You quoted Alain de Benoist? Awesome. At first, I thought you are a diehard leftist, but now you seem one of the few philosophy channels who talks about every author regardless of political alignment. This makes your channel one of the best philosophy channels on youtube.

Hiii, longtime viewer and I just became a patron, so you could say I am now a patron of cuckoldry. Your video on limit experiences is my favourite and tho he's on hiatus, would love to see another streamed dialectic with Distributist. You're in a league of your own around here, thanks for the great work.

I missed your video on Miyazaki TWICE. I wonder when I'm FINALLY gonna be able to watch it.

Glad you read Rorty. I wrote my dissertation on him last year.

Another excellent video of your favorites for the year. I always appreciate your recommendations. I’d like to share with you a helpful way to get into psychoanalysis if you choose to do so. I think that better application of psychoanalysis to philosophy, political praxis, etc. would greatly help society and the persons within it. Freud is very influential, but I feel he oftentimes missed the mark. I think reading Faces in a Cloud (‘79) by Atwood & Stolorow is the best introduction to psychoanalysis. It’s the first book by the pioneers of Intersubjective Psychoanalysis. It even has an excellent psychobiographical analysis of Freud which highlights the strengths and weaknesses of his theories. Freud and Beyond (‘96) by Mitchell & Black is another good introduction to psychoanalysis. It summarizes the historical development of the field including and after Freud (but doesn’t reach Intersubjective Psychoanalysis). One co-author, Stephen Mitchell, is the pioneer of Relational Psychoanalysis, so you get a feel for that after you read about the other psychoanalytic frameworks. Hope this helps if you decide to take the psychoanalytic plunge!

I think your first recommendation book in this video is a fantastic choice. I thought of the goofy "are we in a simulation" question you see mentioned in the context/ company of scientific conversations.

Damn, heidegger video got blocked before I got to watch it.

I’d like to see your opinion on Videodrome, and other films of its kind.

I love Rorty, Mirror as well as Contigency, Irony, Solidarity. I just love his brain.

Love your videos!

Thank you for linking free pdfs 😍😍😍😍💓

Rorty is one of my favourite contemporary philosopher. If you really liked his ideas and got some background knowledge of analytic philosophy, I would recommend you to read about Wilfrid Sellars, John McDowell and Robert Brandom. They are sometime called the Pittsburgh Hegelians, which is a very interesting trend. (Just imagine Hegel's philosophy being re-interpreted in the language of analytic philosophy.)

Wait, there's a Karl Marx anime?!

Rorty actually got me interested in postmodernism. For me it was Rorty > Wittgenstein > Heidegger (literally nothing but Heidegger for like 2 years) > Foucault > now I'm working on Hegel and Deleuze Also the Unbearable lightness of being is my absolute #1 book of all time. Bar none.

It really saddens me when studios that produce such great art act like such utter wankers by blocking educational content. They aren't even protecting their property they're just suppressing education.

i loved and am interested in all you have read on previous year

Please do the video about the difference between analytic & continental philosophy

I absolutely hated Karl Marx - up until I started reading Karl Marx Note also that almost everything by Marx and Engels, as well as a whole lot of other political philosophers Marxist and otherwise, can be found for free at www.marxists.org

McGrath taught me Heidegger last year at Memorial University of Newfoundland. Did a double take when you mentioned him; I didn't know he had written this book. Really brilliant guy.

would love to watch a video of yours about Marshall Mcluhan. i know he's not a diciplend philosopher in any way, but i think his ideas proved their relevence over time. am reading now "the gutenberg galaxy" and finding it fascinating and challenging in the best way. thank's for another great video. love your channel

I am dying to watch that Miyazaki video but I'm guessing YT keeps taking it down because of Ghibli clips used :(

Hey, Cuck Philosophy! If you're interested in Rorty and the therapeutic philosophers, might I suggest Mcdowell's "Mind and World" and some stuff from "The New Wittgenstein"? I used to be super into Rorty, and still identify as therapeutic in his sense, but have since believed that Rorty's method is sort of counter-productive for therapeutic philosophers such as myself (for more of what I mean, there's a paper McDowell wrote called "Towards Rehabilitating Objectivity" that explains he dissolves such questions in philosophy). Just a few recommendations I particularly like!

Today I got a Library card. I will have to see if I can borrow any of these books. I also came upon the phrase "castles in the sky" and ended up watching Laputa by Studio Ghibli. I would really like to see your video on the subject of Hayao Miyazaki. I was quite fond of that movie. Copyright law is confounded!

You should make a video that explains your political beliefs in more detail. Do you belong to a exact tendency with in Leftism? are their any flaws with Marxism? what is your position on various Leftist issues( like the Soviet union or Anarchism)? As far as I can tell, your more open minded and more dynamic than most of "left"tube. Your channel seems like something I should be influenced by.

Hey, what's up with your video that got pulled down by YT due to DMCA?

i tried to read marx. i didn't understand most of it. But thanks to people like you i do

I can’t wait for the 2020 one

THX for the vid, papa Cuck. This comment is for the algorithm.

I would love to hear you talk about John Maus given you’ve read something about him. He’s the reason I started reading philosophy.

Did the new video just get blocked? I was about to watch it

Thank you for your book list. I look forward to reading your lists. By the way, what is your opinion of Georgism?

Have you read The Production of Space? I read it around the same time I read Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature and Capital vol 1 for the first time, and it made a big impact on me.

awesome video, just leaving a comment for the algorithm

Would you make a video about the difference between the analytic and continental philosophy?

I've just recently started to watch your video essays and find them amazingly informative(love the links to books, as well PDF's) as well intensely descriptive in "outing" Hicks as well Peterson's...........oh, let's call them, to be overly nice; "short comings", and I have only one questions as of right now, 1.) Does your title, or KZfaq name, or whatever it is called, being that I am not really that hip on such things, other than the basic comments that I enjoy writing, but I digress, is that name "short" for the word "cuckold"? I was curious and looked up words that were called "portmanteaus", shortened or a combination of other words, you know "put-togethers", type of things? A linguistic type of mish-mash, such as smoke and fog, makes TA-DA: "smog"! Once again Wiki comes to the rescue.....oh yeah, what's your view on Wikipedia? I love it, but I am not as advanced as the "Cuck" Thanks and please keep up this awesome channel! I've learned a lot in a short period of time and that's great considering that I'm an atheist and were going to all die soon and time, once it runs out, never comes back, unless your crazy or something, believing in time travel machines and the like or blue waffles floating along in space, hey, that's more than one question! Or is it? Hey, that is.......never mind.

Videodrome has you, long live the new *Bang* whoops

patreon names made me like this video

Appreciate the ling feng Zheng footage

What’s the anime in the background when he’s talking about the Marx Engels reader.

Is that "Discreet Music" by Brian Eno playing in the background?

Some interesting recommendations, I will definitely have to check some of them out. Is it heresy to mention that most of these books can be downloaded for free on libgen ??

Do you think it would be a good idea to major in philosophy? Or would you recommend studying it on your own?

Alright I really wanna watch that Miyazaki video, damn you KZfaq!

Oh damn can you send a downlaod of the ghibli heidegger video?

I read the unbearable lightness of being this year as well. It was so,don’t want to say influential, but informative on how i view social relationships. Like the second part of the book with sabina and franz,their relationship and the concept of a contextual dictionary was the most interesting part of it. The seeming conflict in how both of them view each other and the world. The opening though was the most memorable, that felt all too real. We truly do lose the weight of thing when time passes,that lightness as pleasurable as it seems to obscures our perception of something-the fundamental incompatibility of teresa and tomas but their ever recurring relationship being the one coming close to mind. Or maybe I fundamentally misunderstood the book and what i said was bullshit.

Habe you read some of the work of Moishe Postone? What Do you think of it?

Hi Cuck, can you please do a review of the book W.I.L.D., What Is Life Definitively by A. Radical? I would love to hear your thoughts on it. Thanks.

Do a whole video on difference between analytic/continental?

Hey, what anime are the clips from during the Marx segment? Thanks! Great video

"Philosophy doesn't help us in any way; it doesn't give us any guidelines. It only sharpens and strengthens the thinking mechanism". UGK

Hello! Have you read Henry Staten's book "Wittgenstein and Derrida"? I think it's great.

Love this channel but the low frequency of uploads leaves me craving for more. Anybody got recommendations of similar philosophy channels analyzing cultural phenomena through the post modern / socialist / what not lense? Thanks!

Man can you change the colors of your new video like you did with the emoji movie?

Time for a 2021 edition

I am not very well educated on Kant, but how can Kant be Cartesian, in the sense mentioned in the video that the subject perceives an object, and an Idealist at the same time?

Yeeee, i needed this

i watched radical reviewer does that count

You'll do yourself a big favor by reading some Lenin, particularly (but not limited to) The State and Revolution.

Thank you! Oh, I wish every left-tuber did this. There is so much stuff to read I never know what to go for next.

Thank-You!!!

I ended up buying the Marx and Engels reader and I dont regret it at all

Cuck : this would require us crawling out of our minds” Psychedelics: hold my beer

I’m familiar with Rorty, but never read him. I’ll check him out.

is there anywhere to watch the Heidegger and Miyazaki video?

Can you do a video on Zigmunt Bauman Liquid Modernity??? Please!

are you gonna try to repost the video that got the copyright strike?

Me: Opens up the Marx and Engels reader Marx and Engels reader: "ON THE JEWISH QUESTION" *vinyl needle scratch*

Went on goodreads for "Beyond Human Rights" and found "Mein Kampf" under "readers also enjoyed"...

I'm a philosophy student in Poland. To simplyfy it drastically, we have been influenced mostly by German philosophers (phenomenology, dialectic materialism, existentialism, idealism, political philosophy in a broad sense - you name it) throughout the last century, while also having a bunch of outstanding classical logicians and onthologists on our own and obviously having ongoing adventure with the French (well, I'm 'early' Heidegger guy, don't ask me). It always gets me feeling kind of confused or even embarrased when somebody pulls out the 'analitic-continental' argument, to the extent I couldn't even imagine non-Anglo-Saxon writing on this very topic.

Have you read the zen buddhist poet Thich Nhat Hanh? Zen is fascinating for me as I try understanding it eventhough I know it is ungraspable and unknowable. But when I meditate I feel it instead and it has helped me a lot, with depression and anxiety. It has helped me with many relationships and to be more compassionate. As a solarpunk anarchist it makes sense to me. Heidegger was inspired by zen and taoism but westernized it and willingly hid these influences by also using his opaque style. See ZEN IN HEIDEGGER’S WAY by David Storey who posits that 1) Zen is uncompromisingly nonmetaphysical; 2) its discourse is poetic and non-rational; and 3) it aims to provoke a radical transformation in the individual, not to provide a theoretical proof or demonstration of theses about the mind and/or the world. I think Spinoza is fascinating also. And how about Bataille? Have you read him?

which anime is the footage taken from @9:02

What happened to Chinese with socialist characteristics

I dont see the list in the description, am I missing something?

Maybe read up on money from the left before considering a post-money setup. The historic context of money makes its importance for the next 100+ years all that more clear. See Mary Mellor "Money For The People" on the web or her book. Also consider contributions by Yanis Varoufakis or Steve Keen to understand from a dialectical framework the dysfunction of the neoclassical economic theory that informs the mainstream political and economic thinking today. It's an important frame that corrects some of the rhetorical overshooting Marx did when he was over-emphasizing the Ricardian economic anlaysis (which neoclassical economic thinking also heavily draws from to its peril). Going by Keen, anyway.

I liked's Rorty's book, he's very readable for a postmodernist, he's not French, he doesn't turn every phrase into empty literary formulas of obscurantist vagueness

I keep trying to get into Capital, and I keep bouncing off of it. I can see it, I can appreciate the theory, it's just so dense....

How exactly is Rorty's response to modern western philosophy any different from Heidegger's notion of truth as aletheia versus a productionist metaphysics view of truth as correspondence?

What happened to that video that got taken down by KZfaq?

I'm reading The Unbearable Lightness of Being rn !

the music and the the sound of your voice are jarring af. But I enjoy none the less.

Thanks :)
