It's striking how persuasive such terminology as 'private/public', 'inner/outer', 'subjective/objective', 'first person perspective/third person perspective', are. But the appearance of sense is an illusion. Realizing that it _is_ an illusion requires carefully examining the use of these terms within the language.

One of my favorite quotes from Merleau-Ponty is "Nothing determines me from outside, not because nothing acts upon me, but, on the contrary, because I am from the start outside myself and open to the world."

This is a superb talk, I could not agree more with the conclusion: anti-physicalists must make up their mind between substance dualism and idealism. Those who think property dualism, panpsychism, neutral monism etc. will help them avoid this dichotomy fail to understand the nature of substance and properties.

Doesnt this argument assume there are only two categories of being i.e. the physical (spinoza's extension) and the mental? However, that may very well be a false dichotomy. Also, why can't more than one property be bundled under one substance? Phenomenal conservatism has its own problems. Why not remain skeptical if there is no way to reliably solve the problem of the criterion or address Munchaussen's Trilemma without begging the question?

@@CMVMic I've told you before in another comment on another video that I'm open to hearing someone present another category of being if they've got one. But as I've stated before, if they're holding to a non-mental monism then they will face problems that I've pointed out in my videos. If they try to reduce the mental to this other non-mental substance then that's going to encounter a version of the hard problem of consciousness. If they don't reduce the mental then I argue that they will lapse into a form of substance dualism since irreducible mental properties require an irreducible substance to bear them as Dr. Weir pointed out in this video. I guess I'm just skeptical of skepticism.

It‘s very fascinating to listen to Sir Roger Scruton and then realizing that he is, mostly, applying the hayek‘ian Methodology (as well as his critique of scientism and the social sciences) to art und music. - I really like that!

Even in orthodox Analytic philosophy, there have been thinkers like Nelson Goodman, Stanley Cavell, Morris Weitz, and Joseph Margolis, who used aesthetics to approach philosophy more broadly. The problem isn't that humane philosophy isn't written - it's that historians and teachers of philosophy continually ignore it, on the grounds that it's not 'rigorous' enough to be taken seriously

Sorry, I'm a not so random, random commenter. How one can change from Goth to philosopher. Not much difference actually. Well done in your achievements! Some weird woman who was a year or so ahead of you in secondary school and just got to this side of KZbin somehow. I need to spend less time on KZbin. >_>;

A platonic theory of aesthetics Keep in mind that all things are created, controlled, and perceived ultimately by Plato's Mind. And that the three chief characteristics of Plato's Mind are goodness, beauty and truth. But in art, they all seem to be the same thing. For example I must adopt a moral word, righteousness, which is close to goodness, to explain what beauty means to me. Looking at the Mona Lisa, or Van Gogh's sunflowers, or in the paintings of Homer, it seems that what makes a painting beautiful to me is that in them, everything seems "right". The lines and shapes of Homer, the brushwork. seem just right, as if put there by a right intention. That that's the only way I can personally rank the masters among other painters. Another term, glory, is very close in meaning to righteousness. Also, it would seem to me that this righteousness is beyond our human abilities and that God or Plato's Mind works through a selected few artists such as van Gogh to display this righteousness, to sense and display the ultimate glory. As for example one can see the strength of a person's character in their handwriting or their prose style. -- Dr. Roger B Clough NIST (retired, 2000).
