Anthony Fantano's secret twin is back It's so great to have these lectures made by qualified historians/professors on KZbin. The only other examples I can think of Prof. David Tizzard who does videos on Korean history and culture and Prof. Jackson Crawford who does Old Norse and Scandinavian videos. Keep up the amazing content!

The Jin Dynasty - Did you love it? Did you hate it? What would you rate it?
@wheresmyeyebrow1608 Жыл бұрын
@@goodenoughhistory The Jin is interestingly underated, possibly because it's overshadowed by its Han-ruled neighbour in the South. Jurchen rulers slept in tents in the cities, while also constructing an inumerable number of Tang-style buildings anyway. They ended up geting hanified regardless like every other foreign force/conquest dynasty that tried to rule the Han culture, but this allowed for Ci poetry to develop and a form of confuscianism separate from the Song to flourish. 7/10 just for the tents alone.

It's amazing how little we learn of Chinese history in the west, in fact I don't remember learning anything at all about China in high school other than that they invented gunpowder, and even then only mentioned in passing as a way to explain how Europeans got guns. Thank you for your work!

I don't think its right that Africa was named for Scipio, but the other way around - Scipio was given the honorific Africanus after he won in Africa. Like how other Roman leaders were given the names Germanicus or Britannicus following conquests in those places.
@goodenoughhistory Жыл бұрын
My understanding is that he got the name after the Second Punic War, and then Rome named the province Africa (or kept the name) in his honor. I'll clarify this the next time I give the lecture in class. Thanks!

You know you should probably not call it blanket "Buddhism". Most in the Santana Dharma wisdom tradition don't consider it to be Buddhism at all. And for good reason. Theravada Buddhism is essentially Atheist and it is the buddhism with the historic claim. If you haven't read the Upanishads and Sutras, that I kind of think you aren't talking about buddhism at all, but rather "Mahayana" chan, zen and tenri. After all, Mahayana far more resembles Taoism than it does Santana/Shramina. And it's image of enlightenment is far more like the ushnini baring sages, than Sidhartha. By inserting it into the intro to then be "followed up" by buddhism & the hindu states is.... misleading IMO.

The society evolved earlier much earlier..5000 lot of astronomical collection was done..orally transmittion was a tough task. You have to memorize entire parts of stories and mathematical notions.
@goodenoughhistory Жыл бұрын
If you have a good source for an earlier date, I'm happy to incorporate it into the in-person version of this lecture for my classes. You might need to also clarify what you mean by society. I don't think I claim there was no society before 5000BCE - just 5000BCE is a good place to start. There is a previous lecture about pre-historical humans. After recording that lecture I saw an article with evidence that writing for calendars occurred far earlier than normally claimed.

@sergeyt2947 Жыл бұрын
Why ask buddhists when there is direct answer from the Buddha himself? -) Enlightenment (bodhi) is the gaining of supermundane knowledge that destroys 3 core mental defilements (greed, hatred, delusion) which equates to the full liberation / release from samsaric round of endless rebirths.

@goodenoughhistory Жыл бұрын
Sort of, yeah. There's always a threat of violence behind the state. I would just add that the pre-modern state also enables the livelihoods of its subjects. It builds irrigation projects and that sort of thing to make sure there's always a steady supply of lunch money (in the form of a grain tax!).

Who is this guy giving lectures on Buddhism/history ? He and MANY western guys now coming out of ratholes using this free beer platform YT and making chaos in the historical facts about Buddhist periods and its expansion in a lucid fallacy manner! Did go through it before you were posting this? Esp. @ starting 20th minute. What are your scholarly qualifications on the Indian, Buddhist historical studies? You are looking at pre prepaired documentations and just reading it to the camera. A well qualified, learned professional do not like that! There are serious well documented videos from highly qualified scholars to be watch on YT! This is pure poorly plagiarized work!

Thanks for the great question & comment! My name is Nick, and I'm a visiting professor at Kennesaw State University. This lecture is posted here so I can link it to my online courses. It isn't totally clear what your criticism is, but I'll say the sources for this lecture are the course textbook (Voyages in World History) and the translation of the Dhammapada available at dhammatalks.org along with the commentary included with the translation. I'm a China historian by training. Most of my knowledge of Buddhism comes from coursework I had to do to complete that training and from colleagues (Western & [mostly] Thai) who've dedicated themselves to the study of Buddhist traditions. I hope this helps. p.s. Where do I get the free beer and can I change it for whiskey? My stomach can't handle beer anymore.
