Master 500 Years of German Philosophy in 45 minutes

[@ThirdLens]

This is epic. The way you syntheses great complicated ideas into digestible chunks is amazing. Rare ability for sure. ❤

[@Fiction_Beast]

Thank you, really appreciate it.

[@the_guiding_tutor]

Yes, you should make a video about the French post-modernism.

[@markspano3468]

You’ve done it again. Thank you so much. There is great rigor in your gift for communicating the complex in so accessible manner! Bravo!

[@Fiction_Beast]

Really appreciate that, thanks! Always good to hear from you. I hope you’re doing well.

[@cheri238]

Thanks!

[@Fiction_Beast]

Thank you so much!

[@IshantChandurkar]

Wunderbar . An amazingly informative video which simplifies the complexities about German thoughts and ideas👍👍👌👌

[@frateranpvbail-shm6912]

German here: why does it discuss primarily jewish thoughts and ideas?

[@sophiamanukova2721]

Your concise presentation about the marvels of German philosophy allows a glimpse at the whole of German culture that influenced the world. Thank you and yes, make a program on postmodernism with the same sense of humour that is your signature

[@sanojpaul2519]

Love you're work, you Interduced Franz kafka to me , i am reading "metamorphosis".

[@frateranpvbail-shm6912]

Also a Jew apparently Fiction Beast only recommends german Jews, not actual germans

[@parantapmukherjee864]

Excellent work. Hope to see more.

[@WhirledPublishing]

Hey Fiction Beast, I'm glad you're having fun ... educating us children: @1:10 "The French were rationalists who would put on their perfumes to seduce one another." Brilliant summary - thank you.

[@Fiction_Beast]

Glad I can make it fun.

[@cheri238]

Thank you, Fiction Beast, I don't need translation. Bravo 👏 No transcript needed. Dr. Iain McGilchrist books, "The Emissary and His Emissary," The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World. "The Matter With Things," 2 volumes, Our Brains and the Unmaking of the Western World. Economics: David Graeber Society with Professor Michael Hudson whose wisdom goes back to Ancient History economics. David Graeber was an anthropologist who worked with Professor Michael Hudson. Who are your favorite classical composers, may I ask?

[@widowsson8192]

Kant argued that time and space only exist as innate apriori intuition. They are constructs of the mind. He didn't say that time and space are external and that we can never access them. He stated the contrary.

[@hamakua484]

As I recall for Kant time and space are mental frameworks that our minds actively impose on sensory impressions allowing us to understand the world. There is no there there.

[@Sachie465]

We are delighted that this video is finally available for viewing.😃 German philosophy is esoteric, but I think I see an entrance.

[@Fiction_Beast]

I’m glad you think so! 😊 Always great to read your comments.

[@cheri238]

I have always loved Fiction Beast. Where have you been?

[@tgunersel]

Thank you so much :)

[@SirajWahaj92]

Always Something Big

[@Betweoxwitegan]

It would be nice to have the names of everyone mentioned listed in screen for a shorr period but great video 👍 (This is done for some but not all so) It's also important to mention that Germany had a small coloinialist empire

[@yashvardhansharma3899]

Great video, Yes please cover the French postmodernism.

[@Fiction_Beast]

Thanks for the suggestion! It's definitely on my list.

[@frateranpvbail-shm6912]

@@Fiction_Beast more Jews, but this time they're sold as "french" they truly are the masters of shapeshifting

[@roneribrahim5909]

Watching your videos makes feel like i did something good today ❤

[@Fiction_Beast]

That makes me happy to hear!

[@Brainteaser5639]

That makes 2. When I started listening to Fiction Beast, I was mostly overcome by the fact that he made me understand a world far from mine. Then it dawned on me that these guys are humans and the human in them is what we all share. Now that I overcomed by his devotion. I hardly have time to spell my name without feeling rushed😂. Seduction is a time-consuming phenomenon, and I am glad I am on the other side of this natures guise for me to produce. Now, I can make relationships that are collected 😅😅😅

[@Chaindeon228]

Awesome ❤

[@Sky-and-Earth]

This classification oversimplifies the subject, and the unification under the heading 'German' appears superficial. Moreover, condensing such complex topics into just 45 minutes compromises the rigor that is the hallmark of 'Fiction Beast'. Would love to hear your thoughts on postmodernism.

[@Fiction_Beast]

Thanks for your feedback. I tried to cover as much ground as possible in the allotted time. This is a big picture summary so the purpose is not nuanced but an overall macro take.

[@carlkuss]

Nice syntheses, nice images...you could work on your pronunciation of German and other names.

[@carlkuss]

It means you have read more books and watched less youtube videos. A good sign!

[@Betweoxwitegan]

​@@carlkussUnderstandable but his is speaking English and so names will be anglicised, you can make the extra effort to represent the native pronunciation but I wouldn't critique one for not doing so

[@gracefitzgerald2227]

I so need you right now❤😢

"The theory of Communism may be summed up in one sentence: Abolish all private property." - Karl Marx

[@frateranpvbail-shm6912]

Karl Marx was a Jew btw

[@danielboard9510]

It's very difficult to separate the nationalist mind from the reasoning one, You present, all at once a movement away from this, while also adhering to that message. Interesting. It is kind of representative of the thought that lead to the national socialists.

[@abrahamcollier]

0:01 Four interesting figures here… three knew nothing of science, and one knew nothing of philosophy… but great choices, over the likes of Schopenhauer, Kant, Hitler and Hegel. Well done already 👏

[@janrajnoch2676]

I think you should give credit to the German Jews (Marx, Einstein, Freud, Fromm, Kafka, Heisenberg, Oppenheimer..) who shaped German, and, by extension, Western thought, incl. philosophy, science and art.

[@TheTruceDancer]

Can you look into indian literature?

[@fortunatomartino8549]

Sabbatia Zevi,Jacob Frank and Magnus Hirschfeld warped German philosophy

[@s8tn622]

I like your videos a lot but please dont use ai images in your videos itd be better to just find real ones

[@williamhaddoc]

Thumbnail only shows one German

[@PaulDenham-h1l]

French Post modern video please !!

[@RonakYadav-w5c]

Hi buddy, I love to see Indian history of literature

[@Fiction_Beast]

Sounds cool! I'll keep that in mind.

[@souiadinadjib]

don't forget Islamic civilisation

[@The_PositivePlanet]

😮😮😮

[@drummersagainstitk]

Jewish isn't German. German is German. Not knowing the difference is like discussing bowling balls and toothpaste as the same subject.

[@schaumwolke6062]

Well, some groups where more endogamous and some a more exogamous. For instance, Einstein was Jewish, but it ment just a bit for him and his family lived for more than a century in Germany, only their faith was differnt.

[@drummersagainstitk]

@@schaumwolke6062 Incoherent opinion.

[@livioventura5061]

That's ridiculous, you can't categorize an individual in a box like that, anyone can have multiple cultural identities influences at the same time. Having german as your mother tongue means already thinking in a certain way and reading mostly german-language (and thus german, which isn't so precise as a cultural identity) books. It seems obvious to most sane human beings

[@elzian4975]

What do you mean? Depending on how you use the word, jewish is either a religious or ethnic description, both of which are compatible with being of german nationality. Of what nationality would you describe Karl Marx as, for instance, if not German?

[@drummersagainstitk]

@@livioventura5061 Israel does.

[@sahhaf1234]

you forgot paracelsus..

[@theoavg]

Yes but unfortunately Germans got out of the kitchen and we all know what happened

[@frateranpvbail-shm6912]

Marx? a Jew Freud? a Jew Einstein? a Jew Popper? a Jew There are great ethnically german philosophers as well, like Nietzsche, Spengler, Heidegger and Schmitt but I guess Fiction Beast prefers to focus on etnically jewish philosophers who happened to speak german

[@Betweoxwitegan]

What a shocker! A racist antisemite One can be German and Jewish, Mars himself was an atheist and critiqued Judaism and religion, he was raised as a Christian by formerly Jewish parents Is one a German if they are a catholic? Well it depends on the time period by your own logic

[@williambranch4283]

Yes, Relativity and QM are modern atheist religions, relatively and probabilistically ;-)

[@Fiction_Beast]

That's a very interesting thought!

[@frateranpvbail-shm6912]

"500 years of German Philosophy" and 3 out of 4 people in your thumbnail are Jews as a german, I take offense to that. And no, I don't care that that's not very politically correct.

[@OpaHutz]

Thanks!

[@Fiction_Beast]

Glad you enjoyed it.
