Don't ever stop, Victor! I love these short explanations!

[@LenandlarSingh1979]

Thank you so much Victor. For the first time in my life I have a clear picture of the values of the humanities and a clearer sense of its different to the natural sciences. And of course why I personally find pleasure in it. Thank you

[@toobakhanani8775]

Great work. Your channel saved my life the night before my exam. It is not so easy understanding these ideas and philosophies and you did a laudable job making them intelligible for amateurs like me

[@jancoil4886]

Well done. Dilthey reminds us that the natural sciences only answer some questions. The Humanities address the vast landscape of life which is human experience.

[@PRANAVSABHARWAL-n1j]

Thankyou for these videos, i am studying hermeunetics as a subject in one of my MA course, and this has helped me enough to understand the subject itself.

[@clumsydad7158]

Fantastic overview of Dilthey, hermeneutics, verstehen, and ideas around historicity. I love learning about 19th century German philosophy.

[@Comedyravinder_]

Wonderful insight in humanities. Now I will try to put my self in author's place to understand his perspective and to see what he could have experienced. Great talk .

[@JFGauthierMusique]

What an amazing teaching lesson. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@sapphydunn6258]

brilliant video! absolutely fascinating theory and explained so clearly and easy to understand. This video has been so useful for my coursework.

[@Nozarks1]

So well explained and interesting. I'm now going to read Dilthey. Thank you.

[@Slimshady-db5sv]

I cant say forsure that by reading history we can re-live the experience but i am sure it broadens our narrow perception of religion or politics or something else.

[@elise7651]

Dilthey makes the humanities feel important!

[@cthrivevideo]

Dilthey makes playing computer games feel important :)

[@salvatoreloria7799]

Bravissimo! Excellent! Incredibly clear! Brilliant!

[@ecclesiastes6542]

Outstanding work. Mucho appreciated

[@eSHaOArts]

Many thanks for such good explanation, great work!

[@docdavetaviner]

Clear, concise and engaging.

[@chroloph]

Mooie lezing. Goed gearticuleerd uitgesproken, rustig gebracht. Super ! En zo kan een lastig onderwerp toch begrijpelijk worden.

[@johntent]

Very good teacher. Thank you!

[@milliern]

Excellent video.

[@kickywicky4616]

Computers can be technicians but not scientists. Regardless of the subject matter or methodology, a scientist must come up with ideas from her material, just like humanists. The same leap of creativity is required for both scientists and humanists.

[@mudasseralikhan7380]

Perfect explanation..

[@mst4722]

Great lecture, please direct me to works of Dilthey that expressly discuss the point that the humanities produce "fully developed" human beings? (mentioned @6:27)

[@Wingedmagician]

Appreciate these videos

[@julesjgreig]

Very good, thank you

[@havardgrimstad1644]

Very helpful! Thank you!

[@maliaskro9216]

what he discribes can be translated into understanding - the meaning of the german word 'Nachvollziehen' would suit his discription more directly. considering that german is a very precise language.

[@FilipPandrc]

yes, but he is using the word verstehen as is used by Dilthey en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verstehen

[@stanisawcytrynski1236]

great job, TY!!!

[@nettysimons9828]

Brilliant

1:00 Wilhelm Dilthey 1:30 What humanities study? Erlebnis.

[@HimikoToga-x3p]

Can you explain what is hermeneutics and the founder

[@GottfriedLeibnizYT]

7:53 As a STEM lord, I find this as a bold claim #Robot

[@vinicioceccarini2393]

Bravo! You speak very well. And i can understand also i don' t speak a good engludh

[@MhFha]

Nobody can get the same experience as others, simply it is impossible. The mental state I experience when drinking my favourite drink feels not the same as you drink it.

[@tildetjernberg8994]

How can you know it's not the same?

[@alvinmoton2021]

could you please share your resources on this topic ?

[@Velvetec]

Informative, educating and with an order. Very good video. 4:19 I have to agree with Dilthey and disagree with Collingwood. Based on what the narrator says about what Collinwood said, I think it is incredibly stupid; trying to study pieces of works only by trying to replicate thoughts of the author does not give you understanding of the whole picture; you need all the aspects of the author including the emotional side, his desires, his physical state during that time of him writing the work etc.

[@pacmanincargopants]

thank you so much! I have to take a mandatory philosophy course for my master's in uni, and there are SO many texts, it can get a bit overwhelming. watching these videos before/after reading helps make everything so much clearer, so again, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[@ADVANCESTUDYINHISTORY]

Nice....👍👍👍 I am from India

"Innner-Directed" was a VALS/Lifestyle category identified by SRI ... interesting.

[@Human_Evolution-]

How similar is Quines Holism to the Hermeneutic Circle?

[@d0ubtingThom4s]

These lectures are incredible! miiinor thing from toastmasters, the lecturer is excellent in terms of ums and ah's, but has numerous "lip smacking" sounds.

[@Lakshyam9]

Thank you! 3.29- a study of the expression of an experience Collingwood- 're-enactment' Natural Sciences can be studied through Humanities require 'life-experiences' 'Verstehen'

Ik wist dat hij een Nederlander was! Haha

[@JoseAngelHernandez-PhD]

Literary critics? COme on now, he NEVER employs that terminology...and the humanities back in 1880s did not include all the political detritus of this era, and was therefore a wholly different context--an aspect of which is also part of Dilthey's methodological propositions... IOW, you are NOT appreciation the historicity of when those arguments were made and to whom he was addressing the so called "HUMAN SCIENCES," which did NOT include Literary Critics in the way in which we understand them today...

[@JoseAngelHernandez-PhD]

BTW, forgot to say that I otherwise enjoyed your lecture and want to say thank you!
