Thank you for these videos. Please, keep them coming.

Any books recommendations about *sociolinguistics* ?

1:45 "money shapes the thinking of different time periods which is presupposing that material conditions shape the way people think" That's called dialectical materialism and isn't a presupposition. It's a functional theory held by leftists broadly for historical analysis.

Isn't it weird that Jung wrote an introductory book to his ideas at the end of his life. Btw I am also reading it after the portable Jung.

I have yet to come across a “simple” definition. Love your channel. Recently subscribed. Like your history recommendations. 💯

Great channel. Many history KZbinrs; not many with your gravitas & influence. I’ve subscribed. *I’m reading “The Rise & Fall of the Third Reich”

My people finally someone is accountancy nerd

Hey Jordan! Loved the video! I was wondering if you would be interested in making a video of what you consider the best books for someone interested in becoming a stockhead like you! Maybe from most accessible to most advanced! Or your journey with understanding financial markets from the first books you read!

I would like to see a review of Monsoon, seems like a book id be interested in. Also what one big book you have read that you found is a surprisingly quick read?

Love your content keep up the good work!

what books should I buy next?

Already subscribed your channel for such exciting book recommendations and valuable opinions. I read everyday but due to my slow reading speed, it takes much time than others to finish a book. What would you advice? Plus, do you do speed read or read slowly with comprehension? Pls tell me honestly!!!

I have to say thanks for all the new books your providing me with.

I don't know. How do I find out?

name of the lady whose name you did not try to pronounce in the beginning please. text of it (the name) would have been beneficial.

I hate the "brain in a vat" discussion! It can't be proved that you're not a brain in a vat, but it doesn't matter anyway because it's the closest form of reality that we could ever experience if we were brains in vats. I guess the takeaway would be that the reality we currently percieve is only part of the world and that our "truths" are based mostly on incomplete information (and thus many of our "truths" are actually falsehoods)? I guess it makes a good intro philosophy question to introduce a solipsism with a bit of intellectual humility, but it seems like a discussion that never really makes any progress.

The thing I find generally with the soul on the most basic level is how it is understood with the will. Right. We have that sort of Divine revelation that tells of free-will which exists only because we have a soul: that's the gist of a lot of Christian thought, that even thought itself begins at the soul and is maintained through the will. Someone like Plotinus would establish it as the Intellect subsumed by the One: which is partial to Christianity and so on. We could look at the One and the Intellect through, as you said, naturalisitc language or metaphorical language: right, and we'd have to assume whatever characteristics from each, whatever context behind these languages, etc. - as language has presumptions inherently affiliated with it. And we could extend to something like "the soul of language" or something a bit more pedantic. Hmmm... this is just a scatter gun approach of thoughts. Which, I must praise you for your laid back approach. I think that's just the skeptic in you, lol, which I always say that skeptics make for the most laid back intellectuals and teachers. Haha. The metaphysician in me would want to argue with you, but I can't argue with someone offering philosophy to the general public. I'm a bit too bizarre in my thinking to ever properly put words to my thoughts outside of writing, lol. I'll pop in every so often to see how you're getting along.

Interesting video or, best it saying, good recommendations. Keep it up to that philosophy and history videos in overall.

I think this is a pretty good introduction to something like epistemology, and the books you recommended are good. Though, like learning languages (Latin in my case), there is the kind of natural method in learning philosophy and extensively its domains like epistemology. Which, I find pretty productive and not to say intuitive on one's involvement with primary sources. We acquire understanding on the get go with this approach, a sorta sink or swim. And theories on knowledge would seem rather suitable to this, lol. A living justification for our own comprehension. Enjoyed the video!

So many Oxford Handbooks worth reading. Right now, I am going through the Philosophy of Time.

Why didn’t you say hello?

Love your videos!!! But I noticing a lack of “hellos!” every time you start your videos! :-)

books to learn more about the topic: 1. "Epistemology: A Very Short Introduction" by Jennifer Nagel 2. "What is This Thing Called Knowledge?" by Duncan Pritchard 3. "Epistemology: The Classic Readings" edited by David E. Cooper 4. "An Introduction to the Theory of Knowledge" by Noah Lemos 5. "The Theory of Knowledge: A Thematic Introduction" by Paul K. Moser

making china modern looks sketchy. i did a quick review of the author, his academic connections, etc. demonising the british out of context is so passe. it's like that BS about the «evil zionist conspiracy» or the «absolute evil of communism» while ignoring the brezhnev era. or perhaps it's like reading «orientalism by edward said» ignoring the authors warning and getting the wrong end of the stick. the modern european approach to historiography is absolutely necessary before diving into history books. too much post facto propaganda floating about.

this falls under the general topic of "the great game" in central asia (which continues until today). i would urge anyone to read a few different primers on the great game and build a broad historiography before delving into the specifics.

Oh, please, the diseases coming from the animals, including COVID, and not from genetic engineering in Chinese labs. Thanks. Now I know I am NOT buying this book.

You can check out "Digital Food cultures " by Deborah Lupton , publisher: Routledge

Which is the best blackwell philosophy anthology in your view?

You seem to be interested in economics. Have you read the one titled " veblen: the making of an economist who unmade economics" by a sociologist named Charles Camic?

jung has a book on kundalani yoga whih is interesting he compares civilziation to the charkas and says some stuff or another about stuff

you look like dr hartman from family guy lowkey 😅

The amount of things which i have learnt from reading articles,books is unmatched. i want to push my self to end of whats instore in subjects which i love . i like how reading makes me feel dumb.

Keep doing these series, its great!!

I mostly let my life circumstances guide me toward the books I read. After finding myself in a bad economic situation due to the COVID pandemic, reading Captial Volume 1 by Karl Marx helped me think about my place in the economy and how I could attain more value from my labor. When I found myself around disagreeable family members due to life circumstances, I studied psychology and politics to try to understand my relationship with them, both of our separate identities, and the beliefs that they hold that are different from mine, in an attempt to reach an agreement with them (which, since they were disagreeable by creed (being avid Trump supporters) proved rather frustrating). When I found myself stressed out at work, or being too emotionally provoked by my coworkers (nothing too extreme, mind you, just too provoked for MY liking), I picked up books on stoicism and Buddhism in an attempt to try to deal with my emotions and try to have more harmonious relations with my coworkers. When I made a lateral move and found myself mostly on my own, I sought out existentialist and phenomenological writings to guide me in a search for an identity and to gain more knowledge on my position in the world among other people; these writings also helped me attain greater satisfaction with the bare phenomena of existence and consciousness and to become more acquainted overall with the possibilities that a life - after being "thrown" into this world - has to offer. At times, due to scoring high in openness, I will pick up any book that sounds interesting; and due to being highly neurotic, I will pick up a book that seems like it could help me down an abstract, unlikely future path; but the books that have influenced me the most and have been the most fulfilling to read are the ones I've been drawn to by my life circumstances. Sure, I'll read things that are simply intellectually interesting (Deleuze and Guattari, Slavoj Zizek, or some of the Oxford Handbooks come to mind), but the books that have been the most meaningful to me found their way into my life by providing a solution to - or at least some insights into - my life circumstances.

Interesting topic! I believe my main motivation is sheer curiosity. About the world, about the "other", about myself...

I read cuz when i read i forget how stupid i am! (Ive got a question:How many hours a week do you actually read on avg ofc?)

I read both non-fiction and fiction. I read fiction both fantasy and sci-fi for entertainment and lessons around how to live with virtue or just to so that I can \view things from different perspectives. I read non-fiction to find information I can apply to get better results in areas of life I deem important. Like health, wealth and relationships. I have not read any biographies or history books yet, but is something I will do. Now it is mostly fantasy/sci-fi, self development books and philosophy.

I read for a mixture of reasons. Im a naturally curious person and like to learn about the world i live in. I also like to know the facts (our as accurate of information as you can get) of the stuff that goes on in the world around me (like politics and history etc..). I also like knowing the different sides to things so i can understand people, that way even if i dont agree with them i can at the very least try to be tolerant and/or agree to disagree. I guess in general i like to be open ninded and mindful.

My motivations for reading: 1. A desire to be as knowledgeable and informed as possible as I believe ignorance is NOT bliss (well, sometimes I wish I didn’t know certain things, but overall, I’m glad to learn what I’ve learned). 2. Reading has allowed me to see some things I was ignorant of about myself, the world, etc. 3. In a world that’s black and white, reading helps me remember to be a critical thinker. 4. It just feels good to read. There’s an emotional satisfaction it brings. ©️ Bennett Yancey 2024

Advice to watch "diamond tema" ,he likes you bites religious mufties

I see that the heart of man is so wicked that they can’t comprehend the reality of true compassion I get no pleasure out of giving my goods away or anything I don’t do it for validation I do what is right

I don’t fully agree because some people are truly just and have a just moral compass not cause they want to but the sense of knowing what is right and just having a heart to help someone who maybe in a worse situation

This is a philosophy of the lost.

Yoo I have been thinking exactly this for a while that everyone is selfish. Even if someone was ordered to do a charity, they did it because they WANTED to follow the order hence, selfish and if they don't do it even then it's selfish because they didn't WANT to do it. So either way it's always selfish and I can not find a way around this. Nice video ideashit, poopling here.

Just finished the Count of Monte Cristo at 1243 pages and Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde at 54 pages. Both excellent. Best wishes with what you choose to read. Happy reading.
