Greatest Books on the History of Western Philosophy.

[@Erschlossenheit]

As Hegel said "what is well known is badly known" or something like that. Will Durant seems to be, as you perspicaciously point out, one such well known who is little read. Loved the contextualisation of each book and your personal inroad and hints into each.

[@sunnymitra6372]

Is Will Durand the same Historian who wrote about India's most Bloodiest Chapters of History?

Your narration style is amazing...feels like we are sitting together in your library and there is an exchange of thoughts between us...

I loved your narration and style. I have added your recommendations to my list and subscribed to your channel. Keep creating similar content. Would love to connect with you somehow.

A reading suggestion, an insight where the The Western Philosophy comes from and its links with Eastern Philosophy, nothing exist in isolation "The Shape of Ancient Thought: Comparative Studies in Greek and Indian Philosophies"

[@thereadingquest3320]

Thanks for the suggestion.

[@jaiminsonu]

Very informative

[@urvashiverma7248]

An amazing video on the history of the subject. Very holistic and captivating

[@praveenbalachandran8625]

Great video some books are new to me. But I am a bit sceptical about dividing philosophy into western and eastern unless the geography and climate and the way in which societies organised had an impact on the way people thought about the world.Certainly how a society is organised,what type of government it had a bearing on the thought process of people.But philosophy is more about seeking answers to the grand questions such as what is life,how best to live, nature of self, justice,how best to organise a society etc.Moreover as i recently found out in the book'How the World made the West' ,ideas and concepts carried form one part of the world and trickle down. Expecting an episode featuring an essential reading list on philosophy.

Please make a video on History of Indian philosophy as well.

[@thereadingquest3320]

Yes, that is in pipeline. It will be a series of four episodes, as I have thought.

[@Mani_Umakant23]

Try 'A critical survey of Indian Philosophy'.

[@BHUPENDRAMONDAL]

Try this book Oxford Uni. Press "Self-Cultivation Philosophies in Ancient India, Greece, and China"

[@sundareshanal1849]

Please do a special session on "Essence of Religion" and "Mysticism and Logic" since the former completely deviates from Russel's agnosticism. It is my belief that Russell had mystical intrusions but remained steadfastly in denial.

[@thereadingquest3320]

Perspicacious observation. "Essence of Religion" is also very antithetical to his essay "Has Religion made any useful contribution to Human civilization". Will do a video on this definitely

Who are they ?

[@paragray4455]

Did you read indian philosophy first! It is idiotic to learn from others before learning your own.

[@thereadingquest3320]

Please know that it is only the idiots(Not donkeys, because donkeys do not know that what they do not know) who presume, and also that the ability to speak doesn't make you intelligent, and the opinion of ten thousand men doesn't matter if none of them know anything about the subject. And lastly, it is my channel, so I will create what I think is important. SO, may I please request you to get lost? Thanks !!

[@dewanshashank]

It is not idiotic to learn but to judge one philosophy is better than the other. Peace out ✌️

[@abhinaviconic2555]

If you seriously follow Indian philosophy, you run into a big naught (zero). No algorithm, No rationale, and No substance per se. On the contrary if follow western philosophy you can make out absolute logic. It's the holy marriage of science and endeavor. Take my word for it. Floating of Ten billion dollars worth James web telescope is the culmination of this endeavor.Unlike practicing falsehoods and sophistry in India. By the by i am an Indian😂. floatedAnd I am an Indian.
