Episode covers a lot of interesting ground (so to speak), though much of the discussion hinges on "social scripts," which (in my unsolicited opinion) is fine and works well enough. I am curious how meaningful that term is without exposure to Saussure, semiotics, and structuralism (and maybe even Bourdieu and his conception of semiotic fields). Maybe you have covered these topics in earlier episodes, but the discussion might serve to support an understanding of this pivotal term. At one point I was in the awkward situtation you mention of trying to pass someone on the street or in a corridor, where I was heading in the opposite direction of another person and, in trying to avoid one another's progress, we inadvertently kept stepping in each other's way, until we stopped, smiled (awkwardly) and gestured with our hands which way we intended to go before doing so. The funny thing was, in this one encounter, the person I had this experience with smiled and said, "It was a pleasure dancing with you." This brought a smile to my face, widened theirs, and they managed to turn the awkward situation into a chance and passing pleasantry. While this could be an example of improvisation that is discussed, my best speculation as to why it dispelled awkwardness beyond the person's "charisma" is because they were able to contextualize our activity into terms that roughly associated to our encounter... the fact that it went from a "me/them" situation into an "our" is likely also significant. Thanks for your fine work here

I would like it if you did a video on the Pre Socratics and things like figure/ground and the Anaximander fragment. Do you think that the dialectic of Hegel and the figure/ground thinking of Dasein are integrally related?

Do you think that this set of ideas improves on Descartes in any meaningful way?

A brilliant presentation. Hegel devises the first metanarrative that isn't about how kings came to rule and who begat whom.

Watching this while taking a massive shit.Best experience ever.

Very interesting to hear about this imbalance because as an architect I have had a (superficial) contact with mostly continental philosophy. Every architect has heard of Heidegger, Bachelard and Foucault, but not necessarily of analytical philosophers. I assume that is partly because we consider perception more important than logic.

Great teacher!!

Madam what is meant by understanding

Madam can we locate peace in our body just like our organs

absolutely loved the video! thankyou so much

The Hyperreality Episode was 🔥 Excited for this one

SMH

The gaze. Also Lacan: Le dompte regard

This is so refreshing. What you say touches on fleeting ideas that have crossed my mind but lack the framework to land them to. Thank you !

Jordan Peterson is nothing like Tate. Peterson doesn't advicate for non-negotiable fixed gender norms. His advice is far more nuanced than that.

How much more awkward has all that social media floating out there made things

I just found this podcast today as I prepare to teach on deconstructionism. Very well done and helpful! I wonder if you have considered doing a video on Theological Aesthetics? It's an area I'm passionate about and there just isn't enough out there on the topic!

the real cool kids philosophers

sadly

The Frankfurt School are an intellectual curiosity but nothing more. None of their output rings true.

By writing in pseudonyms Kierkegaard is saying (to me), I might be wrong but here is my best guess. :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/goDYfZluic2epbM

❤❤❤

New English translations have said field hand or bondsman

This is brilliant

Does not sound useful to me. I'm not new to philosophy, I like things that explain the world or self development or wisdom etc.. I just don't see the point of this

I took Intro to Philosophy as a 17 year old Sophomore at the U of FL, and we were assigned, not Plato or Aristotle, but Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. I took an upper level Philosophy course the next year and we were assigned Kant's Critique of Pure Reason. Then I tried Heidegger's Being and Time. I guess I kind of understood Pirsig, but the other two, forget it! Good thing I never tried Hegel!! And Nietzsche...also incomprehensible unless someone is interpreting it. Like trying to read Jack Kerouac. :)

Hi! I was wondering if you'd make an episode on Fernando Pessoa and his heteronyms - lots to discuss in terms of virtually real selves, being many selves at once, etc. Also on Leo Strauss's theologico-political problem and his methods, esoteric-exoteric writing, in relation to others you've covered in lectures (Derrida, William James) - this might work better as an explainer video if you're making more of those but a podcast discussion would be great too!

Great content! As kids we always study Canudos in Brazil. Our teachers (most public teachers are far left here), always give the perspective as they were communists or something on these lines. But growing up i can see now it was more like a threat to the newly stablished republic, and that's why it was eliminated. 😢

According to 'Reason' (at least the definition thereof being referred to) 'Spirit' doesn't exist. Therefore, Hegal is speaking nonsense attempting to confuse one inside the other.

I always believed Schopenhauer was an Optimus. Cause if you think life is bad, if he were alive today, he could have provided a worse example; I'd call that optimism 😁

I'm so glad I found this channel. This segment reminds me of a DMT trip I had in which my thoughts were represented by moving shapes and sounds. When I realized I could control the signal. I turned my thoughts off just briefly, but that moment extended into infinity, and I was left with an image of myself thinking about my experience in a cacophony of light and music. The perspective shift changed my perspective on thought and life. It's all a coping mechanism for the true nature of the infinite. We use our thoughts to fraction off pieces we believe that we understand, and we use those building blocks to construct our world. We're blubbering madmen, screaming in terror. Most of us never experience it directly until our moment of death. The brain cannot receive an accurate transmission while it is projecting its own signal. Meditation is an attempt to experience this infinite moment. Of course, I know I'm not speaking academically. Just sharing my personal experience.

3000views are too few for such gem ❤

Hi! Can you please put up the entire video on KZbin too??!! I've found Overthink massively helpful in my Master's studies - both the lectures and podcast conversations, and these shorts too.

I love this video.I've known about Sartre's Existentialism for a long time, but few people (in the US, anyway) know anything much about it at all, or just mischaracterize it. ."There is indeed a Universal Human Condition. But there is not a Universal Human Nature, he holds. That's exactly the brilliance of Sartre. People who insist there exists, instead, a fixed human nature, are actually"pretending-- it's easier to believe that,, it takes us off the hook, it's a shallow peek that doesn't really account for all the real facts. Existentialism, however, does account for them. Great video, thank you so much..

You are a fantastic educator!

I prefer freedom over communism.

That notion of the “pregnancy of matter” with potential forms is already present in Giordano Bruno’s lovely book Cause, Principle, and Unity. Thank you this was very helpful.

Interesting that some actors do have a real audience and physical relationship with their viewers, but they are also being filmed eh. Sitcoms in particular I guess I’m considering, I wonder if the aura is present but then not present when viewed on screen? But also have to consider that tech is not what it was then in 1930s so his considerations would have been limited to in person events or simply film

There is an essence from the limbic - expressed in the solar plexus. Or heart. Or soul 😊

Found this podcast by way of reading Timothy Snyder's new book, On Freedom. He references Edith Stein, whom I had known nothing about until today. Excellent video Professor Anderson!

Di Indonesia sayang diperkenalkan stoic oleh om kzbin.info/www/bejne/r53KgGlqZtqaaqssi=7YBjFxvZYklGHmZZ

I thought this was a very intellectually stimulating and informed discussion. Thank you for posting!

Thanks for breaking down these concepts, it's very helpful! I'm on my second read-through of The Second Sex and it's a lot. On my wish list: I wonder if you could do a video about her chapter on Myths and the Eternal Feminine. As a writer, that's the part of the book that fascinates me the most. It's so complex though...

35:28 isn't that anthropology 😂

9:23 it sounds like stealing 38:21 should public representation helf accountable first our the private philosophy stealing the public intellect and then leaving the sphere can they leave, should they leave 39:28 not democracy definitely biological😂ethics, no politi guys, bye😂 #apoliticalness did we discussed that is that a philosophy, ideology or nothing in something or all😂 !

I’m surprise AI generated images were not mentioned. Hyper realistic, made from images of images of images, and being used as a source for things; it sounds like hyper reality to me…

You Kant share what you hear at a dinner party. Understood. 🫡

Gravity’s Rainbow is tucked in amongst those philosophy books. As a Pynchon lover, I am curious about its placement!

I was only having the right earplugs in and wondered where is the sound

I like that this channel doesn't try to say, welp, there you go, after this 5 minute youtube video you can add Hegel to your list of philosophers you get and please click on the next one to add Socrates to your collection, rather it just hosts some concisely illuminating discussion that makes no claims to being a replacement for reading the actual works.
