"Rain" a poem(?) by me: It rains. It always rains. Well - at least, it used to. I am familiar with the rain: I have felt it, liked it And I even danced in it I no longer dance in the rain because I no longer am familiar with it. I wish not to feel it, like it or care for it. Still, I refuse to go back inside. Nothing awaits me there And the rain knows me so well.

Thanks for sharing

I’m on part three now being for others. Been an amazing amazing read so far!!!

so glad i found this video. thank you for explaining it the way you did. i recently got into philosophy and was thinking about reading sartre next. your video surely helped me understand better. keep up w these videos. <3

It is clear that you know how to read a poem and you were very good at pronouncing every word so that we could hear it clearly. Maybe you could have memorized the poem so that you could read it with more emotion and feeling and not have to look down.

Is necessary to learn a second language like German or Greek to understand better the philosophical texts . Because I heard from a philosophy graduated student that in their university the students were made to read in original languages like greek or latin and also their thesis have been written in Latin and Greek . Is that true ??

Love this description. Reinforces how welcoming poetry can be and how it is within all of u!

Love the way you explain these complex philosophical ideas clearly in easy to understand ways.

Hey there, i really wanna study philosophy and im so fascinated by it but i dont know how to explain it to my parents cuz they think that it has no career as such or its just maybe about how little financial support it provides. They say that theres nothing in it and its all useless if you wanna survive in the real world. I really would love to know what one learns in a philosophy degree and what i can do with it career wise so i can make them understand that it is really worth it. Thank you:)

hey im not sure if you'll reply this comment but i wanted to learn to like poetry, my girlfriend loves mary oliver. I think i might like mary oliver how do i start ?

This is absolutely brilliant and true! Even the poems I’ve written, reveal themselves, each layer unfolding with each new reading. Poems so deserve to be read aloud and the words fill the space required to resonate it’s own particular gifts to the reader. There is no right, nor wrong…only the doing, the doing, the doing.

no expression in reading

I'm your new subscriber...😊

Hey, i just saw this today and this inspired me for some reason to create content about life, and everything else that makes us curious. Subscribed, hope you'll see this and get back to making videos again 😁😉

I think you gave this beautiful book a good go at understanding it. This book moves you first( talking generally) as a product of beautiful style of literary writing. He doesn't proceed systematically to adumbrate his philosophy like Sartre does: Sartre uses reason, the intellect, proceeds case by case and point by point: Sartre is prepared to use ugliness, truth, psychology to make his points. Camus uses intuition, imagery, myth, the spirit ( why you calling it a spiritual/practical guide was good). Camus even is prepared to use rhetoric to make his cumulative points. At times I think he gets a little lost in his own rhetoric: Camus was an old fashioned writer ( almost of the 19th century type): he aspires to the unity of reason, not by contradiction, but magic participation, ecstatic union. The Myth of Sisyphus is beautifully written, metaphor takes the place of syllogism, the aesthetic comes before the ethical. Rather than choose suicide or belief in God, man chooses to live life to the fullest. But behind everything Camus writes is balance, equilibrium, a moral sense.

Thanks for your accessibility and calmness while discussing this work. I didn't quite get, did you read it all the way through, or just chapters, snippets? You covered some good areas in the work. Comparing Sartre's , say, fiction, specifically Nausea, would you say that the philosophy contained in Being and Nothingness is better incarnated in this remarkable novel? This novel is probably his most inventive creation as a work of art, wouldn't you say? Would you say that Sartre's philosophy remains valid in today's world? His Cartesian approach to subject and object appears a cardinal approach to objectivity. Do you think it's worth investing in reading such philosophical works for a proper education? Do you prefer male to female philosophers?

This book is recommended for those who cannot accept the meaninglessness of the universe. Camus beautifully explained that it is essential for everyone to accept the meaninglessness to carry on their lives whether they become successful in their life or not.

René Descartes is in conflict. His essence comes first. "I think therefore I am".

Need to recite a poem.. via voicemail

Hello, very nice job! I was interested in this video because I've been putting off diving into this book, but I'm currently reading Simone de Beauvoir's "The Ethics of Ambiguity." Given her multifaceted relationship with Sartre, she naturally wields a lot of the "technical" jargon from his work in her attempt to build an ethics based on existentialism. So I need to work backward from that. I hope that doesn't lead me back to Hegel because life's too short to read Hegel. :D. Good call on recommending Existentialism is a Humanism -- we read that (or excerpts of it) in high school. It was quite accessible.

Lovely! First video of yours I've watched, subscribed. Nice job.

I enjoyed this video very much. I have found this book very tough to read. I read his Stranger and wanted to read this book. After watching this video I will make an attempt to finishing this book. Thanks :)

Thank you 🧡

Life is the funny thing that happens to you on the way to the graveyard.......Quentin Crisp / an Englishman in New York 🌦🔔💀

Easily explained. Enjoyable.Lovely.

Bukowski's poems are not dexterous.

Only we, ourselves, have the privilege of positing and grasping ourselves as objects through the act of reflection! Now that's the Ego talking..! :-) Thank you for this charming introduction to Sartre!

cute 🤩

Greetings from Islamabad! Tried to read this book during my youth without much clue. Your post helped me to revisit and relate that long forgotten read.

Best regards from Islamabad. Wonderful presentation. Heartiest congratulation on your graduation.

can you please suggest me some interesting research question in western philosophy specially if it is relates to philosophy of Kierkegaard?

Great job. Need more articulate thinkers🤩more please👍

Is there any video about scholarship on philosophy degree? 🙏😭

I was starting to wrap my head around "existence precedes essence" when that aeroplane decides to come in to land in the parking lot behind @intellectgrime 's home (or so it sounds). Felt like a moment of clarity. lol. Thanks! 🙏

If you have something that you really want in your life, spend lots of time reading about it. The more you read the more ideas will pop up the more creative your gonna start to get. Your subreadscious mind doesn't care if your vision is crazy. It doesnt care if you dont know how to do it. When you see a thing clearly in your mind, your creative "reading mechanism" within you takes over and does the job much better than you could do it by readscious effort or readpower. A different psychedelic from a different planet every nanosecond. All sorts of dreams are possible. The human nervous system cannot tell the difference between an "actual" readxperience and an readxperience imagined vividly and in detail. Synthesize "experience," to literally create experience, and control it, in the laboratory of our minds. A vision is a very emotional image, the most powerful image that you can come up with for yourself at this time. This vision will become like a hallucination in other peoples mind and this could be the cause of them creating extraordinary things.

Exams tomorrow, I wasn't concentrating in class

I wonder - I am a year out from acl surgery rehab. And I am so glad I can now kneel on the floor and do housework! Strange what an Injury can do. I never thought I would be ok to do housework- just like sisyphus I now enjoy it cos for a long time I couldn't do it and we had to pay a home help. Sissyphus must have had good knees! Honestly philosophy has helped me for in my recovery - whereas the sports Psychologist wanted £120 an hour.

Well articulated. Glad I stumbled across your video. 🙂

"When the images of earth cling too tightly to memory, when the call of happiness becomes too insistent, it happens that melancholy arises in man’s heart: this is the rock’s victory"

thank you this helped me out! thank you for also sharing this with us!!! I'm also reading this poem out to my school but anyway THXXX!

Great video, thanks for your explanation.

I'm Proud to be a Subscriber.

Have you read “the book of disquiet” by Fernando Pessoa? It is one or perhaps the most interesting and profound books I have read. Please read and comment it!

Is your book abridged?ooks too small

Great intro! Thanks for this

Thank you for this fine talk. Certainly would want to hear more. Thos.Nagel directed my attention to pages about "other" in a book of his, clearly stated by you!
