I am not well versed in philosophy as a student in bachelor's of computer science. I have recently been looking into stoicism finished meditations, soliloquies and currently self-studying and learning philosopher's toolkit as referred by park notes KZbin channel as beginner in philosophy. I have only recently stepped my foot into philosophy. The amount of info is mesmerizing but since, I have just begun my journey in learning philosophy as hobby recently. I will slow look into other parts of philosophy as per now I am better of exploring stoicism.

I have a BA in Philosophy so I've been through all of these fields you mention but these days I'm mostly interested in things that are unclear and vague and paradoxical and fuzzy - when I started studying Philosophy I was much more interested in clarity and ultimate answers but Philosophy cured me of that and made me much more comfortable with not knowing so books on the opacity of it all are what fascinates me most these days.

One thing I like philosophy but also what makes it difficult or sometimes even scary is that makes you really take a deep dive into your own mind. Many people may think they know themselves and their own mind intimately until they start getting into philosophy. Then you really start getting a look at the landscape of your mind and realize that you didn't know yourself as well as you thought and some things about yourself may be hard to look at or realize. Philosophy also leads you to, imo, one of the hardest things in life which is to change yourself and how you think. Philosophy also has its outside and world view aspects of it but it's the personal that's always spoken to me

Hi Jared! I first encountered your channel while looking for books similar to Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun. But I've come to love all your content! I haven't seen much but this year my new years resolution has been to read 6 books (1 every 2 months), in the spirit of some advice I heard you give about becoming a better reader, which was to not expect too much of yourself all at once. Reading deeply is a skill which takes practice and develops over time. I studied theology in undergrad and did a lot of reading, but honestly felt a lot of shame about how I would often fall behind or feel lost. As a result I've really wanted to keep up my reading yet have felt often discouraged when it gets hard. Your advice was really encouraging and as I said played a key role in my resolution to commit to six books even though I thought with my background I "should" do more. So thank you for your awesome content! It is a perfect fit for a lot of what I am doing right now in walking towards more wholeness as a man. I'm doing a lot of personal work and even considering becoming a classical teacher one day. I've even thought about making a channel in the same spirit as yours blended with others like Horses, Struthless, Dry Creek Wrangler School, and Called to More to name a few. Thanks again and I am excited for more content!

ifff you're looking for anarchist political theory, and you wanted to start with the "golden age" thinkers (1800-1939) I'd recommend: The Method of Freedom by Errico Malatesta, it's an anthology, his "Anarchy" pamphlet is an excellent introduction. Anarchy, Anarchist-Communism, and The State by Peter Kropotkin, three essays by the anarchist formerly known as prince. :D aaaand I would tell you to check out Means and Ends by Zoe Baker who is not from the 19th century but is a very alive anarchist historian whose book *covers* the golden age of anarchism and their ideas. I have to plug her book b/c it's excellent, and it's her youtube videos that informed my own understanding of anarchism in the first place.

So I'm completely new to all of this, so I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to watch this video over a few times. I wanted to get into Philosify for two reasons. One, my life is a mess and I want to find the best way to fix it and finally get onto a self improvment journey. I'm pushing 30 and I have too many major problems holding me back. I fear what will happen if I don't finally figure it all out. Two, I recently started listening to George Orwell's 1984. Its such a harrowing, sad and anger endusing read due to just what happens within this the world, a world which I fear we might just be heading towards When working through these feeling I began to wonder if its better to live in a free democratic world or a dictatorship. It also had me wondering why such evil exists in the world and what drives people to it. I'm only about has of way through and it's leaving me with questions that I want answers to, especially now in a world thats only getting more hard to navigate. Plus if we do end up in a world a kin to 1984, I at least want to know where I stand, so that I wouldn't just fall for anything and become some mindless drone, just doing what I am told by the powers that be.

A question I heard a Buddhist teach ask once was "Ultimately was Hitler and his acts Evil" he contended that in Hitlers time the answer would be yes. But, if society learned from Hitlers examples and no longer allowed such horrific things to occur, was in fact Hitlers actions good since in the long run it led to less suffering than more. Therefore, can you really define what is good and what is bad since you probably will not be there to see the outcomes of those actions in full. Also, I think democracy removes the ability for the population to hold those that rule accountable because it becomes difficult to determine who is to "blame" when everyone within the ruling class can blame the "other side" or whomever. Monarchy offers the ability to hold one person accountable and if they make matters worse making them a head shorter often corrects or at least restarts the process of rulership.

The paradox isn't all that paradoxical, we can add a little more structure to our argument first instead of just asking about the truth value of "This sentence is false." Let A denote a logical statement (i.e. a sentence which is EITHER true OR false) Define a logical statement B: (Truth value of A = 0) {this is the generalization of "The sentence is false"} CASE 1: when truth value of A=1 then the statement B becomes (1=0) which is not true, therefore the truth value of B in this case is 0 CASE 2: when the truth value of A=0 the statement B becomes (0=0) which verifies, therefore truth value of B=1 here

I, maybe, disagree on your choice of "Beyond Good and Evil", I'd picked "The Geneology of Morals" instead. Thanks for the list. Some appealing books there which I wouldn't otherwise look at. I think debate and logic are mostly practice. It's very hard to exclude bad logic such as fallacies because one has to entirely exclude common sense thought - given what a bad example the media set - that cannot be easy for the average person today. Re: Skeptics. Pagden goes into that in detail. I think there are 3 big movements in Skepticism: Greek, Enlightenment and Postmodernism. Ancient Greek Skepticism was indeed radically skeptical. But it died with Western Philosophy when Justinian closed the non-Christian, Athenian schools. Skepticism ware reborn with The Englightenment and, from the first day, it had a new target. Englightenment was skeptical of the Christian Aristolean tradition of Natual Law. Englightenment thinkers nearly always defered to empirical facts - although sometimes, as in Rousseau, they made their "facts" up. The workd "skeptical" re-entered US thought largely due to the work of Michael Schermer (who isn't, stricktly, even a philosopher, but does teach a course on Skepticism 101) Yet prior to Schermer: Postmodernism had already repainted modern thought with a deeply skeptical brush. Postmodernist skepticism seems, to me, to go back in time to the radicalism of the Ancient Greeks - in a shared contempt for the real. It's also radically Anti-Western, Postmodernism could also be seen as a 2nd go at the Enlightenment, but targetting the West (as avidly as most of the Enlightenment has targetted Natural Law); and also having a sisterhood of victims in contrast to Enlightenment's Cosmopolitanism of Equals.

We have a very rich tradition of Philosophy starting with Upanishads and then the Shramanas (Jains, Buddhists). Chinese also have rich Philosophy. Yet most of the world is unaware about it. Everything that Aristotle said has similar and much older arguments and counter-arguments by Jains and Hindus. It is truly sad. The European consciousness still dominates the world and will probably never go away. We may never get any recognition.

Philosophy is divisible along the lines thought is divisible. If thought is in vain it will have no aim, but if thought had an aim them it is divisible by the end it has and thought that aims at knowing truth only is theoracitcal but those thay aim at action is practical. Thought about things whose order is not established by humans is natural and is studied in natural philosophy, but thought whose order is established by humans is studied in other two philosophies. Now order established among concepts is studied in logical philosophy and order in human actions( as order to some aim) in moral philosophy. Order in things established using external matter is studied in mechanical arts( and crafts). Natural philosophy is divided into general Physics and its branches. It also has math. Physics studies being as mobile beig but there is also a science under natural philosophy that studies being as being and this is called first philosophy or metaphysics. The books of philosophy are: Organon, ethics, politics, economics, physics and subsequent books and metaphysics.

I can tell you that both Uncles Ari are staunch democrats. They’ve somehow acquired the reputation of being “anti-democratic” just because they refuse to air ‘The Kardashians’ and other popular “reality” TV shows, or even sporting events (except for the Olympics as well as FIFA World and European Cup every four years, respectively) at their diner for fear of attracting the wrong type of customer and of distracting the waiters.
