Intro to Epistemology

[@koopa8074]

I'm so sad there aren't more of these videos. None of the other series out on youtube are as promising, as thorough, or as relatable as these.

[@EGGFlower-]

Hi there, I hope you're doing well. Your lectures have been outstanding.

[@abdelrahmanmustafa8937]

What an incredible lecture! Thank you so much

[@mollyoxy]

Please continue this!

[@polyglot15]

Thank you so very much. I am an aspiring philosopher, and I would like to do work in the field of epistemology. Your videos have been really helpful. I especially appreciate how fast paced they are, allowing me to gain more "knowledge" (everyday usage) about logic and epistemology. I do hope you can continue to make these videos.

[@PhilHelper]

Thanks. I have been slow to put out my follow up to this vid. I feel bad about that. But I've got most of Modern Skepticism finished and hope to get back to posting soon.

[@rohmann000]

Please continue the series!!

[@MrViolinas]

Hello, Where are the rest of the videos, the are just GREAT! I hope you are OK

[@davidnaumann8086]

I concur! Thanks for producing this. When is the next video comming out?

[@tingoorensis]

I want to type a compliment, however I am no longer sure my keyboard actually exists. Please conclude your lectures, I need help!

Did you slam an energy drink before recording this? ;) Thanks for the upload, speedy.

[@jakecarlo9950]

“Hesiod” not “Heisod”, right?

[@KillingAddiction]

correct; that was the first thing I noticed.

[@malamati007]

The irrational has a central role in Greek mythology; Miss Hamilton simply chose to accept the tragedians' later "cleaning up" of what Hesiod and Homer knew and portrayed as the basic craziness of human experience. The Furies (erinyes) are instruments of an orderly justice in 5th-century tragedy; their origins in the 8th century and earlier are disorderly, arbitrary, and beyond human understanding. In the story of Troy, the essential cause of all that happens is the appearance of Strife (eris), a thoroughly irrational impulse for disorder, triggering the equally irrational impulse of Desire (eros). All of the gods in The Iliad and The Odyssey act in fundamentally irrational ways, and cannot countermand the dictates of Fate (moira); even ZeThe Greeks and the Irrational."

[@malamati007]

even Zeus can't countermand the fates. For a much more sophisticated and accurate analysis of the fundamental characteristics of the Greek mind and myth, see E.R. Dodds, "The Greeks and the Irrational."

[@PhilHelper]

I think you might be correct; Hamilton's appraisal of the Greeks may rely on later works. Notice, the later dates in which a more rational picture emerges however correspond to the dates in which philosophy arose. Not coincidental I think. Your point on the irrationality of the universe in earlier myths seems also to have support from Nietzsche's "Birth of Tragedy." Good point.

[@TomMalufe]

This was excellent and I really enjoyed it. I only wish you could have spoken more slowly as it was hard to follow at times (plus the clipping was annoying).

Perceptions are always directed to maximize advantages not consciously understood.. That said, truth is results, and in morals and politics, truth is agreement...

LOL he said Iliad written 10k years ago. Its dated at earliest is around 1100 BC. Calls him Hysod.

+Kyaw Zayar Lwin I've got some ready. Computer and audio recording software are on the blink though :-(

[@PhilHelper]

Thank you. As soon as I get the bugs out of my computer and get my recording equipment working again, I'll post the next video. It's been already constructed for several months now. I'm also working on quantified logic!

[@psalmy26]

+PhilHelper I'd be happy to provide technical help. I've done lots of support and video/audio for years.

[@highlyreg]

+PhilHelper Hi Phil, if you need any help please feel free to reach out. I really need more of your videos in my life.

[@PhilHelper]

Thanx. But my biggest setback is time...If I could only find more of that, this series would be completed pronto! But encouraging comments like yours keep me mindful to use my time better...I'll try to get a new video up by Christmas at the latest!

[@ozobiani]

nice video......too fast tho. slow it down a bit , please

[@3dge--runner]

more please?

+Who am I? Soon...I hope!

[@aruserios7632]

"...probably about 20,000 years ago." Maybe you should slow down a little.

[@triggerwarningtruthjustfor5433]

Gee you talk so fast you're even cutting yourself off! What's the rush....why not simply make the video a mere 5 minutes longer? Other than that great comprehensive example, thanks.

Epistemology: the study of ignorant postures. Knowledge = reliable information. The end!

Well, maybe you are a Reliabilist then-albeit that position has it's own problems. Anyways, what is "reliable information"? How do we say whetever a piece of information is reliable or not?
