I may be biased in this as a lawyer, but I do find some appeal in the view that judges/indeed some advocates and other lawyers are the best example of practical philosophy. Yes, politics will deal with these matters too, but I feel the deliberative role of the judge has a much more distinct position in moral philosophy.

Excellent stuff good sir...

Why does anyone who writes about ethics have to at least partially write from the first person person perspective? What does Stuart Hampshire mean by that? I guess that he cannot actually be saying that the grammatical first person ("I" or "we") have to be used, as surely one can write about ethics by simply saying "thou shalt not ..." or "a good specimen of the genus rational animal/of that life form is just, couragous, wise etc.".

Excellent, thanks. Chomsky's worth listening to for hours!

Can hardly understand what is being said, but there it is.

Fantastic discussion, Noam, you are a light in our societies, Thank you Michael for conducting it with much care and respect.

There is something profoundly wrong about Penrose's approach.

11 hours straight of philosophy. Cause I'm a boss 😊

It appears that Dummett smokes Benson and Hedges. Perhaps the one on top is Kent, but it’s hard to tell.

0:35 Bryan went with the Freddy Kruger tie.

❤Among the greatest honors of my life was knowing this man. A few highlights. Lifetime tenure at age 22. Parachuted into Vichy France and spent war organizing residence including the D-Day disinformation campaign. Peacemaker: Leader and lead administrator of Marshall Plan securing peace. 30 years chairing Princeton Phikosoohy program. Leftist, (think Norway, never a communist), bad ass spy and resistance leader against fascists, peace maker, scholar.

Nussbaum is clearly reading chatGPT😁

29:20 is priceless

Okay, one of these days I'm going to buckle down and watch this whole thing. Before that, just want to thank you for making this available!

I would love to hear him speak about machine languages

48:43 on public languages

It's like Richard Rorty is 50 Cent and these guys are G-Unit.

Thank you Noam.

What about inside animals brain then !!!??

My subtitles show the word "dummest" when the moderator says dummet

Mr Chomsky helped me over e-mail when I contacted him for help with a school project in my youth. He replied in less than 2 hours. Great guy.

@adeel 😂

Hmm. I think he's passionate.

Listening to this after having read popper,Kuhn&Hempel was a pure bliss🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾 eager to read the structure of Science by Engel and thanks for the post !!

Not sure why Michael Ayers was asked to talk about Berkeley, when he seems very snooty about Berkeley's philosophy. (Which, as Popper says, has been validated in many ways by modern physics).

it is remarkable that Ayer, a man who spent his entire professional life in the realm of the hypothetical, expects us to buy his defense of consequentialism. "Oh, that is not a practical moral question." Berlin, is just the perfect specimen of a philosopher. English is his 4th language and he sounds like he was born an Oxford don.

So fast

at 11:50 or 51, you can see how Magee is not at all happy that Burnyeat is saying that there is 'another group of ideas'. You see, Magee does not really want Burnyeat to start bleating on about Plato's other set of ideas....just look at the expression of pained exasperation as Magee tilts his head back and exhales through his teeth...just witness how he slaps his left thigh in despair and throws repeated small punches (though perhaps 'raps with his knuckles' is a better description) at the sofa and silently simmers with impotent ire...

Am in awe😮

Struggled with Martha Nussbaum. She was very nervous, I think, and her presentation (on Aristotle) was not the best. Contrasted very poorly with Myles Burnyeat (on Plato), who was incredibly clear.

I’ve been a follower of Professor Penrose for several years and I’ve never encountered this lecture before…the internet never fails to surprise me, this is a historic piece of footage!

What a brilliant exposition of Martin Heideggers Philosophy by Professor William Barrett.

Thank you 😊 so much for sharing this. I am half way through. Much to think about.

Good old fashioned projector graphics. 😊

I think Aristotle gave us the categories and then reincarnated as Gilbert Ryle and gave us the category mistakes!

I totally love this! Thanks so much

Bravo!!❤❤

lasitratable depth were truley astoundishment from theyll be or detrimental sadism

I don't think Gad Saad is even aware that he is restating this, so effectively has it been not talked about

The idea that Germans and Swedes were considered not white enough?!!! What were they looking for? Albino?

This upload is a beautiful rest from our weary confusing world.

bro was living in the future

It’s amazing that this was uploaded only two years ago. Styles have changed so fast!

Why do people know or understand so little with all of the information available to us? We should be the most intelligent, the most knowledgeable with computers in all of our pockets. People would rather spend hours on TikTok than looking up words on their cellphones. I submit that religion is keeping people from true enlightenment. It’s 2024.

Maybe the longest first question ever. I like watching Rorty vids. Nice ending.
