I remember watching this when it first aired. Television was terrific then, and I always enjoyed the ‘teleplays”.

Creepiest music I’ve ever heard.

This is fantastic Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for. Learned Ignorance or the art of not needing to know has been a game changer throughout my life. Mathematical deduction or gematria is a related principle as well. Again TY

Thanks, Craig. I feel like I've listened to this over 100 times myself.

Sweet

Individuality and solitude linked, staying away from the crowd. Authentic. Not tied to a school Kierkegaard - can be Christian (at-one-ment) and individual (of faith outside the ethical) Neitzche - with god means not alone fully. Not fully individual Existentialism against positivism (modelling on science). Argued to closer to philosophy and literature. Death of ivan ilych (dostyvoeksey) as an influence. Existentialism - this life experience as a staritng point for philosophy, that's why freud is not one. Existentialist secretly moralists (away from the crowd). Kirkegaard - reading into church doctrine and bringing his own ideas from this. Presocratics and Heidegger too. (A way to link to others, but also bad faith, a form of inauthenticity, supported with authority of something else).

Greetings everyone! Is there any way for someone to get his/her hands on a copy (printed or ebook) of the English translation of "Prometheus and Epimetheus"? Much obliged, have a great day!

Science threatens traditional beliefs, impossible for masses to hold same beliefs in same way (necessarily differentiation through science). Crisis as moment of truth (what stands up and what doesn't). Separate boys from the men Bad faith - man tries to deceive himself into thinking he is not as free as he is or not at all free So we if say 'i need to follow someone' this is technically bad faith because it is denying freedom we have. Seriousness by Boeuvoir (assuming a transcendental good outside to remove responsibility) -- Responsibility: your choice influences the way Man collectively chooses to be. (This is criticised and argued it isn't clear how responsibility is allowed when anything is allowed)

You'd prefer not to? The only job you're gonna get here is in a pine box pushin' up the daisies! Or wait until the next century and find a man named Kafka in Prague...

I have an interview which is a huge opportunity to be a paralegal tomorrow. As a joke i will tell them i am not like bartleby the scrivener perhaps if things are going well.

The man may have been 'ridiculous', but his dream was not.

Is it a monolithic obstinance? Is it the placement of some buden upon the boss by the almighty as a test? Is this an observation of autism?

Crazy that there’s so many swedenborgians out there

That is Barry Williams from the Brady Bunch I believe!

Love this story

Thank you for sharing this

who is the speaker? great job

Best piece of sonic underground lore

this was an unusual role for james westerfield, no?

I wish English translation carried over all the depth of this powerful message, but in native Russian it’s a story rival to likes of a bible

I like how his employer actually tried pretty hard to help Bartleby. This is one of those stories that is open to personal interpretation. To me, its theme is that life is random, and all you can do is your best - even if it’s futile.

To everyone who understands the value of these words, I count upon all of you as my finest comrades. I wish you all the very best. OH, HELL YEAH MTFKRS. LOL 😂 Sorry, it was too mushy. - and quite pompous. PEACE TO ALL

Good to finally see some Fechner content on youtube.

Amen 🙌🏼🙏🏼 Glory to God 🙏🏼

This is the spirit of idealism, which in the history of philosophy has had many names and taken many forms, and has in a measure influenced those who seemed to be most averse to it. It has often been charged with inconsistency and fancifulness, and yet has had an elevating effect on human nature, and has exercised a wonderful charm and interest over a few spirits who have been lost in the thought of it. It has been banished again and again, but has always returned. It has attempted to leave the earth and soar heavenwards, but soon has found that only in experience could any solid foundation of knowledge be laid. It has degenerated into pantheism, but has again emerged. No other knowledge has given an equal stimulus to the mind. It is the science of sciences, which are also ideas, and under either aspect require to be defined. They can only be thought of in due proportion when conceived in relation to one another. They are the glasses through which the kingdoms of science are seen, but at a distance. All the greatest minds, except when living in an age of reaction against them, have unconsciously fallen under their power. The soul of man is likened to a charioteer and two steeds, one mortal, the other immortal. The charioteer and the mortal steed are in fierce conflict; at length the animal principle is finally overpowered, though not extinguished, by the combined energies of the passionate and rational elements. This is one of those passages in Plato which, partaking both of a philosophical and poetical character, is necessarily indistinct and inconsistent. The magnificent figure under which the nature of the soul is described has not much to do with the popular doctrine of the ideas. Yet there is one little trait in the description which shows that they are present to Plato's mind, namely, the remark that the soul, which had seen truths in the form of the universal, cannot again return to the nature of an animal. If there are no universal ideas, what becomes of philosophy? All philosophy, even that part of it which is said to be based upon experience, is really ideal; and ideas are not only derived from facts, but they are also prior to them and extend far beyond them, just as the mind is prior to the senses. The Eleatic notion that being and thought were the same was revived in a new form by Descartes. But now it gave birth to consciousness and self-reflection: it awakened the 'ego' in human nature. The mind naked and abstract has no other certainty but the conviction of its own existence. 'I think, therefore I am;' and this thought is God thinking in me. The famous theorem of Spinoza, 'Omnis determinatio est negatio,' is already contained in the 'negation is relation' of Plato's Sophist. The grand description of the philosopher in Republic VI, as the spectator of all time and all existence, may be paralleled with another famous expression of Spinoza, 'Contemplatio rerum sub specie eternitatis.' According to Spinoza finite objects are unreal, for they are conditioned by what is alien to them, and by one another. Human beings are included in the number of them. Hence there is no reality in human action and no place for right and wrong. Individuality is accident. The Organon of Bacon is not much nearer to actual facts than the Organon of Aristotle or the Platonic idea of good. Many of the old rags and ribbons which defaced the garment of philosophy have been stripped off, but some of them still adhere. A crude conception of the ideas of Plato survives in the 'forms' of Bacon.

How come I got to the same thoughts, same ideas, same exact knowledge without having read anything about Jacobi? Is the divine revelation that is revealed to all of us in our existence souls only you see when you ask and observe, open trusting it’s so obvious you love and you laugh of joy like a child, search for your child, your child knows as well, It’s the simplest truth so beautiful and clear you can’t explain it without becoming a pure reason for others trying to comprehend the unknown that you know nothing at all, in that space of knowing nothing and being nothing you know everything ❤

Questioning reasoning and therefore discerning oneself ideas is the worst sin now and before in the whole history of humanity, since human beings forgot they were unique beings

Hail Dionysos! IO EUOI!!!

Thank you Craig ..Been looking for this for a while in a Lazy Fashion of course..the weight of the world and all that nonsense,, is a major distraction. Greatly Appreciated ❤😊

Melville's story is about the boss really. It is in first person and the last sentence leaves no doubt. He cannot shake his sense of responsibility even though he declares himself blameless. Melville is always worth reading. Very like Shakespeare/Earl of Oxford in packing layers of meanings. Not like him in all ways - not interested in word games - but idolized him obviously.

This short movie seems like an episode of Tales from the Darkside or Twilight Zone.

Typical university lecturer: never say in five words what can be said in fifty.

Wow! I finally found this! My teacher showed the class this movie so very long ago and I remembered it ever since.

Ahh, the first isakei

I remember see this on the NYC public station sometime in the 1970s. I was spellbound

Best narrator, best voice, tone, accent and emotions behind

From which work is taken this excerpt?

“He’s asleep ain’t he”? “With Kings and Counselors “

Should have taken the Bartender gig. I had a blast tending bar 😂

Bartelby was ahead of his time in legal proceedings. Amanda rights.
