Anaximenes in Five Minutes - The Pre-Socratic Philosophers

[@Scifiguy11th]

Your voice is 1/3 as sexy as philosophy tubes so what's the point

[@philosophymonkeys1747]

Because unlike Philosophy Tube, I am not a continental shill who makes a living by neutering philosophers and dumbing them down for modern sensibilities.

[@buzzhighlightyear6790]

and ur 3 times more shallow than his fans so why are u here

[@1love754]

@@philosophymonkeys1747 will you continue the series or are you somewhere else to find? These 3 short videos are interesting. But I'm wondering if it all goes direction heliocentrism? Thanks for your contribution!

[@ruthvnfx8558]

This helped me so much, I wish you could have continued this series

[@jocallow4816]

Wow, I really hope that this channel will come back someday. I was really struggling with understanding the philosophical progression between these thinkers and now it’s so clear.

[@jeneanlivesey]

Please continue series.. Do philosophers through history from ancients to modern. Socrates, Plato and Aristotle next. You are an excellent teacher! 🌹

[@cryptomoonvault]

It is a shame you didnt continue the series of monist philosophers, it helped me alot in my homework. Good job and Thanks

[@EirikBratt]

really hope you start making more videos, really well made and informative !

[@antonioh5687]

Great video! please upload more, like a course of philosophy because your videos are excellent, brief and concise.

[@philosophymonkeys1747]

Thanks Andre! What sort of Philosophy course would you be interested in? Trying to gather some feedback for the future. :)

[@SolomonsCave]

Hey man, great summary and analysis :) Hope one day you'll get back to it.

[@johannesgh90]

These are great! I hope you continue with the rest of the Pre-Socratics at some point; I would love to see such a thoughtful yet fun treatment of Heraclitus and Parmenides.

[@samthelucky1094]

Make videos on Heraclitus, Pythagoras, the Ileians, atomists and then Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. Maybe you could even talk about the philosophical tendencies in Homeric poems and later epics and tragedies..

[@SolomonsCave]

Agreed, that would be great :) In the meantime, I'm working on some videos myself (along with a few other series). I hope you like my style. I'm especially looking forward to comparing Parmenides and Heraclitus and showing how their opposing philosophies form the backbone of all (yes, all) later philosophical thought in the West.

[@annasworld23]

this was a great short series

My dude like thank you. I owe you so much

[@cunningham.s_law]

keep posting

[@NoxAlbel]

Come back dude!!!

[@Rico-Suave_]

Watched all of it 5:08

[@ghostaskrens7012]

Can you do an in depth video on Xenophanes?

[@jimmyfaulkner1855]

A theory of everything is very popular in physics today and is heavily desired by physicists to give an all-encompassing explanation of the universe. Could we say though that the early Greek philosophers of Ancient Greece were some of the first humans to propose a ‘Theory of Everything’? For example, does Anaxagoras, Anaximander, Heraclitus, Parmenides, Empedocles (and much more) have a Theory of Everything? Would it be fair or justified to claim that those philosophers all had a ‘Theory of Everything?’ Another area in Greek philosophical thought that could help with answering this question is the idea of the ‘Arche’. This is usually defined as the ‘first principle’ in metaphysical thought (isn’t this what Anaxagoras, Anaximander, Heraclitus, Parmenides, Empedocles did?). However, it was Aristotle who first defined this term. So, is the idea of a search for the Arche, the principle, an Aristotelian construct?

[@iambob09]

Great video but I have a philosophy test tomorrow and need everyone up to Socrates. Thx m8

[@jamairaelnas8320]

uhm i have a question did they use holistic perspective or partial perspective? thank you! 💖

[@chuckbeattyo]

I vote for Anaximander's boundless unlimited paradoxically infinite : Apeiron - check yes.

[@buzzhighlightyear6790]

hmmmm very good

[@cemalcakir]

this is academy of ideas' video?

[@hawks5999]

Still waiting for Heraclitus in 5 minutes.

[@benquinney2]

Earth,wind and fire

[@ghostaskrens7012]

Did Anaximenes ever posit that through earth (wood, brush, etc), fire is created also? That would make the condensation and rarefacation of water a circular loop. It would reconcile Heraclitus and Parmenedes. Nothing would be in a state of decay, but only a different state of air. All things would be cycling through this loop, which would prove Paramenes right, nothing is changing because all things are essentially air. Although, it would appear to change. I don't think Anaximenes was an inept student. I think he was way more intelligent than Anaximander. He was essentially a rationalist, and saw Apeiron as an empty word contrary to logic. If Apeiron cannot be defined, it is a useless explanation. Although, I don't think Anaximenes was correct, I definitely see his thinking behind the madness.

[@philosophymonkeys1747]

Hey Amor Fati. I tried to clarify Anaximenes' view in visuals, but apparently I wasn't clear enough. In his view, Air condenses to cloud, which Condenses to Fire, which condenses to Water which Condenses to Earth. I really would not call him a rationalist. Since Apeiron is the unification of distinct opposites, he would appear to be a mystic.

[@shekarigaming7983]

The music is annoying and too loud...get rid of the music or turn it down...
