Socrates vs. Christ

Hello everyone, todays lecture continues our “the night of the world” series. Today we’re discussing the Kierkegaardian argument that philosophy is essentially a battle between Socrates and Christ, as well as a longer argument about the relationship between contingency and necessity, and an analysis of the film “The Irony of Fate: Enjoy Your Bath!”
Thanks for watching. The goal of these lectures is to make these ideas accessible without dumbing them down. Thank you also to the patrons who help me keep these lectures free and open-access.

Love your work! These lectures have become almost like a sunday school for me. I always find them to be interesting and I often find them transformative. My weekly communion with the Other. Thanks for doing what you do.

Kant's view of freedom is the most relatable one I've found. A lot of people think the opposite of what he said to be true

Hey Julian good afternoon from nyc: have a concern I was hoping to see your advice on as you are in part one of my subjects supposed to know. I often times will be talking about stuff with people in person, and a topic will come up that I have read/studied a lot about, but for some reason the things I learned and took notes on about this topic just goes blank in my mind and it causes almost great shame and disappointment that I could not remember most of the things I assumed would be easy knowledge to recollect. Have you dealt with this before, if so, how did you overcome or at least deal with it better? because it gives me a lot of anxiety when I can't articulate insights into topics or give my full view on them because I couldn't remember most of what I learned through note taking and studying (only to view my notes on it later on at home and think "how did I forget this point, How did I fail to mention this idea when I have literally written personal essays on it before"). Thank you in advance for any responses

I appreciate you Julian. Please let me know if you plan to visit Michigan. I'd enjoy the opportunity to host your stay.

Hey Julian. I am a close follower of your channel. Could you maybe make a video about some KZbin channels that you like following yourself?

I'd love to have you a catch on Rorty and Pragmatism :)

Do not think that Hegels Christian Ontology is very convincing but nevertheless it is very interisting to learn about it and very much enjoy your lectures!

[@marcsilverstein7991]

"A leap to kierkegaard". No pun intended!

35:52 The night of the world Soviet block..the useful...needed the excess enjoyment of the useless of capitalism but limited through sacrifice the useful ( Todd McGowan) in order for us to survive ie : climate catastrophe. The Soviet block plus excess through art. An excessive art that is limited by insisting on a dialectical night's presence as well?

To act out of choice rather then compulsion is privlaged.. Our withdrawal creates as a void for all that is alien to fill.. a new world 🌎 The One ring

What happened to all your videos?
