Thank you!

If i recall right, i remember a little on kants conception of beauty. He said «everone has seen a nice looking woman. Thats beauty. Just thinking about such a woman makes me enticed. Yeah.. now i ponder a nice sunset, thats beauty. Actually, that is it, my copernican moment: nice woman in a sunset. Yeah. Im really tapping in right now». No wonder we learn about kant in schools

Your channel seriously deserves a million more subscribers! Thanks for these videos!

If only people pay more attention to the great minds…

Magnifico!

Thank you so much sir for this wonderful content ✊

Amazing lecture! Thank you so much

cont. But do you really think that it is a matter of leisure. A person with leisure will come to study philosophical history? There are too many objections -- so what are you saying? (2/2)

20:25 I love your work and engagement by me is sincerest flattery. Re: spread of ideas. Is it the idea that spreads throughout conscience of a generation? Or is it a matter of... I almost wrote influence. Well then -- spread, pour. Or -- is this a metaphor for a social process? (1/2)

Thank you so much for this explanation!

philosophy: the love of wisdom, normally encapsulated within a formal academic discipline. Wisdom is the soundness of an action or decision with regard to the application of experience, knowledge, insight, and good judgment. Wisdom may also be described as the body of knowledge and principles that develops within a specified society or period. E.g. “The wisdom of the Tibetan lamas.” Unfortunately, in most cases in which this term is used, particularly outside India, it tacitly or implicitly refers to ideas and ideologies that are quite far-removed from genuine wisdom. For instance, the typical academic philosopher, especially in the Western tradition, is not a lover of actual wisdom, but a believer in, or at least a practitioner of, adharma, which is the ANTITHESIS of genuine wisdom. Many Western academic (so-called) “philosophers” are notorious for using laborious sophistry, abstruse semantics, gobbledygook, and pseudo-intellectual word-play, in an attempt to justify their blatantly-immoral ideologies and practices, and in many cases, fooling the ignorant layman into accepting the most horrendous crimes as not only normal and natural, but holy and righteous! An ideal philosopher, on the other hand, is one who is sufficiently intelligent to understand that morality is, of necessity, based on the law of non-violence (“ahiṃsā”, in Sanskrit), and sufficiently wise to live his or her life in such a harmless manner. Cf. “dharma”. One of the greatest misconceptions of modern times is the belief that philosophers (and psychologists, especially) are, effectively, the substitutes for the priesthood of old. It is perhaps understandable that this misconception has taken place, because the typical priest/monk/rabbi/mullah seems to be an uneducated buffoon compared with those highly-educated gentlemen who have attained doctorates in philosophy, psychology and psychiatry. However, as mentioned in more than a few places in this book, it is imperative to understand that only an infinitesimal percentage of all those who claim to be spiritual teachers are ACTUAL “brāhmaṇa” (as defined in Chapter 20). Therefore, the wisest philosophers of the present age are still those exceptionally rare members of the Holy Priesthood! At the very moment these words of mine are being typed on my laptop computer, there are probably hundreds of essay papers, as well as books and articles, being composed by professional philosophers and theologians, both within and without academia. None of these papers, and almost none of the papers written in the past, will have any noticeable impact on human society, at least not in the realm of morals and ethics, which is obviously the most vital component of civilization. And, as mentioned in a previous paragraph, since such “lovers-of-wisdom” are almost exclusively adharmic (irreligious and corrupt) it is indeed FORTUITOUS that this is the case. The only (so-called) philosophers who seem to have any perceptible influence in the public arena are “pop” or “armchair” philosophers, such as Mrs. Alisa “Alice” O’Connor (known more popularly by her pen name, Ayn Rand), almost definitely due to the fact that they have published well-liked books and/or promulgate their ideas in the mass media, especially on the World Wide Web.

Great Content sir

Fantastic work…I thought I knew Pico…you gave me a better understanding

Great video

Appreciate your course 🇮🇷

"Great Dionysia, also called City Dionysia, ancient dramatic festival in which tragedy, comedy, and satyric drama originated; it was held in Athens in March in honour of Dionysus, the god of wine. Tragedy of some form, probably chiefly the chanting of choral lyrics, was introduced by the tyrant Peisistratus when he refounded the festival (534/531 BC), but the earliest tragedy that survives, Aeschylus’ Persai, dates from 472. The festivals were attended by all Athenian citizens (likely women as well as men) and visitors from throughout Greece. In the tragic competition, each of three tragic poets wrote, produced, and probably acted in three tragedies on a single theme. Each poet also presented a satyr play, which treated some heroic subject in burlesque fashion. Judges, chosen by lot, awarded a prize to the best poet. In comedy, introduced in 486, five poets competed for the prize, each with one play. The satyr play was always the work of a tragic poet, and the same poet never wrote both tragedies and comedies. In 440 comedy was also introduced into the Lenaea, the minor festival of Dionysus held in January, and tragedy was added 10 years later."

u saved my exam !

Thank you sir! your explanation helped me a lot!💜

Found the lecture as a Blessing 🙏 Lots of love and Respect from india 🇮🇳❤ Thankyou sir.

Thank you for this great video

Muito didático! Obrigado

Thank you, Joseph, for a well-explained topic. This discussion really helped me in my report. Thank you!!

Have you written about laughter and Bergson? I would like to read everything you have published on this topic?

This is absolutely excellent! I can't believe I'm just finding this gem right now

After half an hour you go on a rant about pandemic and not questioning "science" about mask. This proves reading philosophy is no guarantee for developing critical thinking and discernment. Science should be questioned, opened to debate, not enforced through political dictates, police and censorship. When they said "trust the Science" they meant obey the experts, don't question them, do as you are told. As we've seen, the experts proved to be terrible liars, very corrupt and not doing science at all. Fauci is a pure politician and salesman for Pharma corporations, he didn't do lab work for decades. So the argument: experts say, "Science" says is just an appeal to authority. I'm surprised you fell for it. Is perfectly equal to say: this is the truth because "Philosophy says" or "philosophers say" or do as Plato says.

Best breakdown of Birth of Tragedy, thank you! Please keep making videos

Brilliant 🙂 thank you for your immense help!

Thanks for this impressive video!

Thanks for the wonderful presentation Suppose truth is a woman, what then? Wouldn’t we have good reason to suspect that all philosophers, insofar as they were dogma- tists, had a poor understanding of women, that the dreadful seri- ousness and the awkward pushiness with which they so far have habitually approached truth were clumsy and inappropriate ways to win over a woman? It’s clear that truth did not allow herself to be won over. And every form of dogmatism nowadays is standing there dismayed and disheartened-if it’s still standing at all!

Thanks for the enlightening presentation

Best video on the BoT

Laughter can heal.

Thank you so much for this video. It provides such a clear and eloquent explanation of a text I falsely assumed to be too arduous to properly read for my medieval philosophy course. I hope you have a great day, greetings from the Netherlands!

Had Bergson been around in the 1990s the popular TV comedy would have been Bergson - not Seinfeld. A show about something - not nothing.

Pico is mportant, Thanks

very helpful! thank you

Great man Joseph. Thank you for the channel

Great work Joseph enjoyed it and helped my research. Thank you sir

This is superb and exact what I'm looking for--not an overview but something close to the text to guide me through the tough reading. It's still my ambition to understand the text for myself. Thank you sir!

A very methodical lecture and insightful

thank you very much Joseph. you are a great mediator for Kant complex ideas

sounds good!!!

I just started Plato's Republic and I'm so grateful to have come across these lectures! Thank you!

Thank you so much! Very interesting and useful :D

Thanks you. I just got interested in this individual I bought the book. Celestial intelligence. This video gave me a good overview. 👁️♒👁️

What a wonderful series! Thank you for the great insight and explanation!

adorbs xoxo

Fantastic video. Thank you very much!

PdM read everything on everything and boiled the babble of contention down to 900 theses circumscribing all the important problems and the positions/approaches/remedies within the ken of known writers, SAYING, HERE IS THE WHOLE BALL OF WAX, LET'S FORM A COUNCIL AND GET EVERY MIND FOCUSED ON HASHING IT OUT AND GETTING , and he did that as one publically simpatico and allied with that other everything-embracing corruption-condemning humanity-lifter Girolamo Savonarola. There were no disciplines of economics and sociology in that day, but there was oligarchic Medici banking power at the root of Florentine corruption top to bottom, the top being Lorenzo and later Piero, direct targets of Savonarola and, far more dangerous, indirect targets of the credit-system-analytic expounding theses of the 900 of Pico della Mirandola. The remains of Pico were exhumed and arsenic identified. Savanorola was burned alive after much paid Soros-style agitation. Ecce banko et Papo. I'm just sayin'.

Let the chorus intone, you are beyond good.
