You are really good at helping me understand these thinkers, I have an HS Diploma and beyond that Ive educated myself in my own way. These lectures are invaluable to someone like me. You do an excellent job and you have a wonderfully relaxing voice to go with it.

We know that Universal knowledge of things is floating around us , But only a few human beings have the Brain receptors To adquiere that deep knowledge of things. Why can the rest of us do the same ?

Why is it that only a few Minds can grasp deep knowledge !

Sartre is right about other people being hell. You don't mind the cruel acts of Nature, such as the hurricane that blows away your home, or the random misfortunes such as diseases or birth defects, so much as you feel violated by crime, bigotry, cheating, hate, war, oppression and the other things in which human beings engage. But every human accusation is an implied mea culpa. Who are we to pretend that we are not people, too, with all the same potentialities as other people? Flaws that are not manifested are still carried as seeds. Your worst enemies are likely not people who are highly different than you, but ironically very much like you. You are the Jew whose life was ruined by the Nazis. You are the Nazis who was taught to hate the Jews. You are the black person who hates the white people. You are the white person who hates the black people.

Some are trying to nail Jesus back on the cross. Christians in particular are guilty.

If "time" and "space" aren't "things in themselves", can't be intuited by the senses; then where did we get the concepts? How can they be a priori and yet be words. As thoughts and words we did not invent them, they were there before us. Yet Kant posits that they are the structures behind perception? Do babies perceive the same world we do? If we believe babies inherently posess reason then yes they do. If we believe babies do not posess reason then, according to Kant, their intuition of the world is different. According to Kant's theory space and time filter perception. Do babies' senses filter perception through space and time? No. Babies have no filter. When do they acquire the filter? When they learn language? Here is the contradiction at the heart of Kant's theory: the paradox. Kant does not invent the concepts of space and time. They were there before he was even born. Where did they come from? Philosophers? Engineers? Politicians? Priests? Who conceived of these two terms and how and why? The answer cannot be solved without an explanation of language. Not mathematics. Language, the source of "meaning" and, possibly, reason. Don't you think its "funny" that time and space were in Kant's vocabulary? How convenient was it that they happened to be the "spectacles" that Kant's theory needed. The ready made source, the a priori structures, of all experiential phenomena. Right there before he even knew what they really were. The paradox is this. Kant uses language to assert what comes before language, consciousness. Our senses filter Nature and this is called consciousness. The linguistic mind's filtering of Nature is called self-consciousness and reason is its reputation. Babies posess no language at birth. It has to be learned. The spectacles of space and time have to be put on, we're not born with it on, are we? Does Kant think language is prior to consciousness? Does he think space and time are not linguistic concepts or that they are? Its obvious he thinks, paradoxically, that space and time are not linguistic concepts. While he acknowledges that knowledge comes from conscious experience. He is trying to say that the formulations of thought can produce a discovery of knowledge as well. Through reason science can add to knowledge, knowledge confirmed by consciousness and reinforced by experience. What he fails at revealing is why space and time are the lenses he uses. Are there no other concepts, or did he not investigate? Posess a wider vocabulary or understanding? Hume was right, ideas of reality don't come before reality. Kant modifies Hume by saying ideas of reality can lead to the discovery of a useful modification of reality. Reality is always changing. The senses are one way of dealing with reality, thoughts and science are another. Consciousness is not, primarily, a linguistic process. Animals have consciousness as do all "living" beings. Animals do not posess language do they. To the extent they do, apes, they exhibit self-conscious behavior like we do. Do computers posess language? Are computers alive? Are computers conscious or do they merely posess self-consciousness? Life follows this pattern: consciousness comes before self-consciousness. Computer science would have us believe this pattern: self-consciousness comes before consciousness. Reason on trial posits that reason without experience is "nonsense". "Empty speculation".

So Hume, Locke and Berkley buried God as a mere belief and impossible to know.

Hell, yes! I totally agree. Hell is other people. Expectations and rules imposed upon an individual are just a bunch of bullshit! Camus says life is absurd. I agree with that as well.

Nietzsche had a special relation with women

Nietzsche is really an ingenious man ..

good refreshing thank you

good ride again ;-)

Yes, Scottish..

That is great how you have good intentions. I WANT to believe you are with the understanding about what Kant has explained and that you are credible to teach, however, it is hard to PERCEIVE one to be knowledgeable about Kant when they use a picture of another person who was a critic of Kant. The picture above is Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi. I hope you will look into the matter. The picture which is in my feed introducing this is really Kant. They do not look alike. I hope it was just an error and you will fix it.

What exactly are you referring to when you use the word God?

We are ruled by our hormones

Epistemologically categorically & and imperatively. The synthesizer of rationalism and empiricism.

Thank you for an approach that combines thoughtful insights with a "traveling a path together" approach not unlike sharing a walk through a forest. Well done.

God torn apart by human , God only not for you. But dharma

Thank you for your excellent podcast, giving us an overview of the importance of Spinoza's philosophy. As a student of Spinoza's philosophy, I have studied Spinoza's Ethics extensively, and I believe to really understand Spinoza, you must live his ideas. I have more than a theoretical concept. After 40 years of work, I now teach, mentor, and coach those who want to live, understand, and love as Spinoza did.

When it comes right down to it... You believe in God.. or you pretend that you don't.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Nice, except for the horrible bot voice and sterile intonations. His name is spelled Immanuel, by the way.

I agree with Spinoza about the rampant anthropomorphism of God in the Old Testament. As for whether or not "desire" is beneath God, it seems to me, that God desiring for us to love him just as he loves us, ought to be okay, from a divine perspective.

Fantastic! Nicely done.

First of all, I'm sorry my dear friend for hurting your delicate feelings. Basically, the death is even closer than you think. Since it's hidden in the life cycle. By the way, with each and every passing day of your life, you distance yourself from this physical world and you come closer to the hereafter. So, absolutely no consternation is necessary on your part. And it will come along sooner or later totally by itself to visit you. Second of all, you are too dumb for it to grasp and understand philosophizing. Third of all, Let me refresh your dull/drowsy mind, I'm an MD, but not a Philosopher.

i love refrigerators

That was a great refreshing on Neitzche thank you so much ❤️

The buddha said if you can get rid of desire then you will get rid of suffering. But, the whole gimmick is that you now desire to not desire. It's a mental feedback loop of inescapability. The fools are the ones who judge the other, and think they are getting one up on others or life by desiring to not desire or visa versa. The ones who learn are the ones who truly let go and accept life as it is. The praktika buddha is the stone buddha who goes into the woods, meditates until he discovers nirvana and stays there forever. The bhodisattva buddha goes into the woods, meditates, and realizes that the nirvana world is the exact same as the regular world and returns to society to deliver the good news. To say you must get rid of your ego creates a new ego that is based on getting rid of an ego and this whole pretend idea that you're somehow more spiritually better than other people because you're more enlightened and less attached to your ego, but that IS another form of ego. In the end, you learn that this is the same as desiring to not desire, you let go and realize the ego doesn't exist. The egoless world is the same as the egoic world.

Kant said that our perception of reality is not equivalent to reality . True, the map is not the territory. But it seems to me that Kant goes from this to say that that means that space and time are subjective and not objective. That seems wrong to me. It seems like saying," if I can be wrong, it is not true." Suppose I think that at the exact center of Jupiter is a hydrogen atom. That does not mean there isnt. All we have is probabilities. Am I 100% certain that the earth goes around the sun? NO! But I am 99.999% sure and that is good enough! Am I 100% certain that reality is structured around space - time? NO! But the fact that that paradigm works makes it probably true. However, the space-time paradigm does not work at the quantum level!

I certainly enjoyed this. Thanks

Q: Why is God Indifferent to Our Choices? A: Because there is no "God", only the indifferent amoral universe. Simple question with a simple answer. Nothing more need be said.

Kant at least revealed the mental capabilities of the races

Kick-ass lecture, man.

Do you not realize that's an Xenophanes wrote all of that about the anthropomorphic God over 2000 years before?

Insightful. Very good approach, like you always do. A must watch episode!

Great approach.. thank you

So Spinoza suggest that ppl make God according to their reason, experiences and understanding. Now. Is all of this what he talks about God, which is of course different from general opinion, isn't it a projection of Spinoza's limited perception, reasoning and understanding? Or... these features of Spinoza were unlimited? Cause if they were limited than his critique about anthropomorphic mistake while thinking of God is against himself.

This is my least favorite philosopher. His work contains very little depth.

Oh, my. I remember when I first encountered "God is dead." as a young college student - or maybe even in high school - and being totally mystified. I was a Philosophy major as an undergraduate but nonetheless I couldn't penetrate Nietzsche, Kierkegaard and Heidegger. I did better with the later existentialists like Camus and Sartre. At the time it didn't really matter, though, since they were all largely smiled down on as "metaphysics" by analytic philosophy, the mainstream academic trend at the time. Now, some 5 decades later I have discovered that there was much of importance that I missed. Thank you for your excellent video! I hope you do many more!

I have several of his books, actual books and several other's on Aubile. Great points made, thank you. Added in the description of my latest.

God's will rules the world

All man-made ideas are delusions, because Reality is beyond human comprehension. We can experience Reality, but we cannot comprehend it.

Time cannot be observed without a measuring device. The only processes we can observe directly are physical changes in movements and forms.

The fact there is no point is the point. The stoics say what stands in the way becomes the way. Camus is cool too.

What we know is Nothing, what we can not know is also Nothingness .
