100%!

Are you still a pastor?

[@TheReadWellPodcast]

Feeling that

[@aderyn7600]

Randomly popped up in my reccomended. Im a film major and far from being good at actually reading philsophy content on my own. But man i took one philosophy class in community college and then took every philospphy class i could afterwards and joined three clubs. I never remember anything regarding terms or specific people. But man i love the conversations people have talking about philosophy. And this is incredibly helpful for someone like me who just likes dipping my toes in this area and wants to include it in my work eventually in film.

Watch more videos from Majesty of Reason KZbin channel and read this books

[@matiasvonbell]

I'm only 2/3 done and I've already bought 4 books... this video is dangerous! :D I totally agree that Routledge should sponsor you!

[@DanSme1]

Parker, I did take a long look at John Frame's work you mentioned early in the video, and ordered it. Thanks. I spotted Rushdoony's The One and the Many (1971) sitting in my library. I tried reading it again, but find it difficult. His mind seems to flow with meta thoughts, but with fragments, difficult to those novices less familiar with the sweep of philosophical history. Taking a second look at the Table of Contents, it would seems the books was an assemblage of his mental musings on a vast array of subjects. Either RJR or some editor did a good job of weaving in together. But it still seem fragmented to me.

[@acaswell84]

Just finished and so glad that you both said Routledge was knocking it out of the park because I find them so good.

16:30 It was for the undergrad philosophy course at Heythrop College (no longer exists) and University of London which had the best syllabus in the early 2000s

[@trapperj4077]

Great suggestions! My two cents on the Free Will books is anything by Al Mele. He’s brilliant. He has a dialogue that is a great introduction and “Free Will and Luck” is a very clear book IMO.

[@manavkhatarkar9983]

so excited to watch this video... this is going to be a very helpful podcast for me. thanks 😊

[@Geemeel1]

What a great and informative podcast . thanks for this !!

[@senkuishigami2485]

This video will be very useful It would be great if you or someone mention all the names of those books in comments with timestamps

[@DigitalGnosis]

In the Logic section Ive found that so many books are poorly written but Peter Godfrey Smith's [EDIT -- Peter Smith, "Godfrey Smith" is the author of that book on Octopus brains lol] books explain things so clearly and he has lots of his books available as free pdfs on his website

[@Mountainmaniavision]

Nathan might you be talking about Peter Smith? He's a logician from Cambridge. Godfrey Smith is a philosopher of embodied cognition based in Aus (his stuff on Octopus consciousness very cool)

Anyone can download almost all the books mentioned in this video for free as pdf from Z library

[@coltoncauthen8696]

Awesome video, thanks guys! Parker, how many hours per day do you read on average? And what is the ratio of reading time to reflecting on and reviewing material you’ve read? Maybe make a video on this :).

Great idea! I think I will make the vid. Just in short though, I spend 2-3 hours reading on average

[@pinecone421]

Value theory is my favorite field 😓. Great video!!

[@nikomitropoulos5292]

What about philosophy of science?

[@mathewsamuel1386]

What book would you recommend for the philosophy of science?

[@RealAtheology]

41:56 Aye! Good to see the shout out for J.H. Sobel's _Logic and Theism_

[@DigitalGnosis]

I didn't find his chapter on Ontological arguments highly technical but also I consider Joe my epistemic superior, so that makes me think I missed out on something!

[@Hello-vz1md]

RA can you suggest me top 20 best books for atheism

[@timhorton2486]

Hey Joe and Parker, what are your best recommendations for introduction and immersion in the philosophy of time? Thanks!

[@DigitalGnosis]

The best philosophy of language book I've read is Colin McGinn's -- that one goes really unrecognised but its the clearest Ive read on most of the topics. Fwiw I found Morriss' Phil of Lang book (that Joe mentioned) fairly unclear in some places! Personal opition Naming and Necessity is the worst philosophy book Ive ever read - I hate it so much, especially given that its the "most influential" book in modern philosophy, yuck!

[@_titanslayer_]

This video is dangerous. Now I have another list of philosophy books to buy. BTW the book that got me into philosophy is An Outline of Philosophy by Bertrand Russell. I recently brought Objectivity by Lorraine Daston.

[@Hello-vz1md]

Most of this books are available as free pdf in Z library

[@Gruso57]

Love this as a podcast idea. I now have quite the list of books on my list again lol. So thank you both! I gotta mention, Joe calling Marcus Aurelius Meditations like Jordan Petersons 12 rules for life made me die a little inside lol.... Cmonn man.

[@whitemakesright2177]

I love that the thumbnail is actually Tom Holland 😂

😅

[@acaswell84]

10 min in I’ll try to come back to this video because I really am enjoying. A couple things I noticed Graylings history of philosophy is shamefully bad on actual history of early Christianity, he falls for 19th century propaganda Tom Holland pointed that in a debate with him. I really like Frame but struggle with his view on creationism. The pro and con on Frame is that he is giving the fly over stock standard non nuanced view of the philosophers and runs out of space with the recent philosophers of our time.

[@adriang.fuentes7649]

This was awesome. Thank you! Btw, I would really like to talk you about why you think libertarianism is incompatible with christianity, because I think it is perfectly coherent to be a christian and denied the legitimacy and justification of the state.
