In der fundamentalen Frage; der Lebensverneinung und der unbedingten Lebensbejahung, der partikularen Absolutheit und der fundamentalen - undifferenzierten - Absolutheit bei dem Begriff Christis als Sohn bzw. als Gründendes des Seins selbst, differieren jedoch meines Empfindens nach die Begriffe der beiden Götter - kennen Sie diebezüglich einen Denkweg diese Gegensätze zu versöhnen?

Otium cum dignitus was one of the key themes I took from you Johannes pre pandemic. Good to see you still flourishing 🎉

All I needed to hear was U2 sucks to sub

"Why should setting be injurious to the sun and moon? To thee it seems a setting, but 'tis' a rising' Tho' the vault seems a prison, 'tis release of a soul' What seed went down into earth but it grew? Shut thy mouth on this side, and open it beyond For in placeless air will by thy triumphal song. ~Rumi.

Kant, Schopenhauer, Whitehead and Hartshorne create a complete system of Aryan metaphysics, ethics, and aesthetics. Descartes, Spinoza, and Hegel, lead to transhumanism, Marxism, and submission to technocapitalism.

Try this on for size. I am what outside the box sounds like. And no, you haven’t heard this before. I am a set of a’ priori modes, not a body of limbs and organs. We need to move beyond the notion of “We”. Human is a loose notion at best. In essence, the body/conduit has no fixed predicate in the abstract lens so the premise is incorrect. What is it of us, that knows this? Until we know more, we are a set of a’ priori modes trying to stabilise our line in an ocean of dissipating variables. We should define ourselves in this manner. We are a set of modes that allow for systematic alignment. A set synthesised with realities structures and stresses. Understanding this is the next step. Everything else is tied up in a field of inverted axioms and that path is a dead end. Human is not part of the way I think. I’m beyond it. I don’t know what I am only that I am not the body. I am a set of modes as I said and until I know more… It keeps going round in circles. One has to look through the phenomenological lens if they want beyond this primitive, half developed monkey head paradigm but who’s really ready for that path. If you want to understand the modes - KZfaq - new paradigm fish by Yap. Stripping it right back. Alternatively- read my work for free on medium. New paradigm fish Yap.

Wow...

Beauty IS subjective! It's an opinion, NEVER a fact! Always has been and always will be. Same goes for morality and art.

René Girard's restatement of Nietzsche, right? It is uncanny, the possible strangeness of the first christians.

As a former philosophy student with a deep interest in phenomenology and ontological approaches to coaching and leadership, I have taken numerous courses throughout my academic journey. However, my experience with the Halkyon Guild, led by Johannes A. Niederhauser, stands out as truly exceptional. I have completed three courses on Heidegger and two on Kant and German Idealism through the Halkyon Guild, and I can confidently say they are among the most thought-provoking and intellectually stimulating courses I have ever taken. Johannes A. Niederhauser brings a unique depth of understanding and passion to his teaching, creating an environment that encourages DIALOGUE between students, deep reflection and critical engagement with complex philosophical ideas. The courses are well-structured, with a perfect balance of lectures, discussions, and reading materials, allowing for a comprehensive exploration of the subjects. Johannes's ability to make these challenging topics both philosophically deep for those wanting that but also accessible and engaging for a non-acedemic lover of wisdom is truly commendable. Halkyon Guild has not only deepened my understanding of philosophy but also enriched my ability to apply philosophical concepts in practical and meaningful ways. I highly recommend Halkyon Guild to anyone seeking a profound and transformative educational experience in philosophy.

Thank you 🎉

As the civilisation, degenerates and lives off the success of the past, also, by borrowing a lot of money to buy resources life is really good, but became also more attractive to the slothful and the lazy the rot sets in .

Very fun hearing stories from your uni-lecturing days, funnily hard imagining someone having Dr. Johannes as a lecturer and asking him if something is needed for the exam XD!! I hope Halkyon develops enough to a physical location, and it would be so ideal in 🇬🇷, as I live there often hahaha! The seminars on Halkyon have already inspired me to host reading seminars at my university, and plan on starting this fall with something short like reading of 'Muße und Kult' and B. Chul-Han's 'Burnout Society' or Fisher's 'Capitalist Realism'.

Congratulations to Dr. Johannes!! I stumbled upon this beautiful channel when I was taking a course on Critical Theory, and happened to hear about Heidegger and Wilhelm von Humboldt. Since then I've signed up to four courses hosted by other teachers on Halkyon, just now did I finally register for your self-studies on Plato's Politia and I'm blown away by the production quality. I can't wait to actually read the book and listen to your commentary! Dr. Johannes Bildung spirit overflows in his work; I've been taught that I have so much more to learn, and I've been greatly inspired by his way of doing things. My thanks to Dr. Johannes and God bless!

Hello,Prachtig!!good to hear!Tanks to all!

best hair on theory tube, passes the litmus (lichtung?) test

great comments on Hegel's science of logic - what really keyed it for me is the comment on the 'concrete', or the growing together, and how if we take reality at face value we become very confused. it is only by trying to unravel things, working back towards the actual, that we gain an appreciation for things. our understanding is always fluid, and logic is a tool in clarifying, but the most unrelenting domain is that of our premises, and how our faculties dictate our ontology; our fundamental way of experience which we can't get behind of. of course in the stating of "I" as a contradiction, one is reminded of the asian sense of the illusion of the I, and also in the discussion I was reminded of deleuzean theory about the elevation of difference as the preferred method of perceiving/deconstructing reality. we live in a blur of reality where all separation is illusory, but we are forced to stand and appear separate in our mortal bodies, yet our ontology is a long cascade of living concrescence, deeply embedded. and everything is just different forms of becoming - that which never ceases. thank you, this brings hegel's thinking into a new light for me.

If Dionysus and Christ are so similar, why did Nietzsche refer to himself as the disciple of one and hate the other? He paid the price for his life lived against God by losing his mind. You need to realize that this was a ritual of inversion that says nothing about true Christianity and instead reveals the Satanic beliefs of the dark powers of this world.

I like the slogan in theory, but you explained how it is misused in practice in a wonderful critique of modern tourism. This is not the Venice of Canaletto. “Where St. Mark’s is, where the Doges used to wed the sea with rings!” (As Browning wonderfully sang.) Nevertheless, even as I see its weakness, I believe in it. Although, I would correct it with Shakespeare’s logic-J: “What must be shall be.” (FL: “That’s a certain text.”)-It is not that beauty can save the world, it is that “Beauty MUST save the world.” That must be our motto, else we will go to ruin. The beautiful is a form of the good-greater, at times, than “the good”-no longer ‘the Good’ of Plato but now narrowly conceived as “social welfare” and nothing else, a term which sounds noble but is taken to have merely an economic signification.) Somehow, I know not how, we have ended up in the timeline where both Marx and Nietzsche are correct! You offer not a bad definition of Beauty when (at 16:40) you say that it is “the medium through which something genuinely shines forth.” I would say that Beauty herself _shines forth_ through that definition and for a brief moment shows herself-(Oh, Venus, goddess of Love!) You gave the hint to solving the problem when you said “it should be alive.” Yes, these places are dead in their “life.” They are become cold, dead,ruins even in their current inhabitation!) Also, I believe literally what you said about the Temple of Apollo.

I also find parallels between Jesus Christ and Dionysos, such as the motif of wine (blood of Christ as a sign of sacrifice; wine of Dionysos as easer of suffering); both sons of (the supreme) God; and as far as I know originally Dionysos also executes self-sacrifice to ensure the renewal of life. On the other hand, the Opening Ceremony of the Paris Olimpic Games was unworthy both to the Last Supper and Dionysos as well. As I understand, the point of the Dionysian act is that one finds joy in huge achievement. Life flourishes as it prevails over the cold rationality of the physical world, in which life has very low chances to survive or even to appear. In my opinion, this notion is quite the opposite what the Olympic ceremony represented, as it promoted having joy in moving towards the 'weaker resistance' by rationally deconstructing the cornerstones of identity. It was not about overcoming the barriers, but denying that the barriers exist.

Stephen Davies if you are bored. But I am sure someone will love your asymmetries. Sunsets come and go as does my compassion for your attitude. Foreigners everywhere in Venice huh. Those dame outsider artists huh. One of my best friends is an internationally displayed painter with schizophrenia. But I too am pissed off with the current Biennal for they are ripping off outsider artists.

I really don’t see the correlation between Christ and Dionysius at all

One is almost tempted to wish that the Metaverse would have been more successful in that regard. Mark Zuckerberg uploading all that cities and collecting the tourists over there, beautifully contained under the glasses. The difference in the experience of not really being there in Venice or not really being there in the Metaverse is probably rather minor at this stage. Though I don't know if you were allowed to take pictures in the Metaverse.

there has sadly been a trend recently in the West to adopt and put on display these ugly postmodern aesthetics, and this is what occurred at the Olympics as well. frankly, i think if they disavowed said aesthetics, the backlash wouldn't have been so bad

Dann benenn doch mal die Parallelen

No more inhabitants, citizens , and locals ... only consumers.

You are like a guy from 19th century put into this crazy world
