A question why is the metaphysics of Plato will make things any bettee considering Platonic ideas is where the West started from anyway not. Not to mention many atheists believe in Abstract Objects like forms but I dont know how Platonism doesn't anything to solve this

[@purekhizi]

@@Blade-kd5qe You might consider watching the video

[@Free-lmran-Khan]

I love your work ❤❤❤ thank you Paul...

[@zeinabkhalil3591]

Thanks! Really helpful.

[@Blade-kd5qe]

​@purekhizi I'm familiar with Platonism and Neo platonism i know it and I'm saying it's nit gonna solve anything modernity is too comfortable you have to build and target sectors where meaning is lost and gain an intellegncia who can draft plans and worldview for a civilization thars what's needed

[@Abrahamos]

Blogging Theology is still underrated.

[@juanway]

​@Ludeqristthe kuffar like you don't hide their hate for Islam tho

[@ITX-HUR]

There are greater rates than the worldly rates ... Don't worry

[@CoolLight2]

very true

[@ThePrincipleLogician]

It’s underrated because it doesn’t rely on clickbait or flashy, dopamine-inducing edits like other videos; it’s simply pure, raw knowledge.

[@LifeinAmerica2022]

It ill eventually gain traction. I see the channel exosted since 2020.. My Channel existed since 2008 amd I only have 1. 8k

[@habibrehmanjanwiri8808]

Pray for my guidance brother paul.

[@BAFREMAUXSOORMALLY]

HABIB REHMAN JANWIR, insha'Allah, God will guide you if your heart is pure and your deeds righteous! Bot, don't your parents and family not pray for your Guidance?

Premise 1: there is a conscious mind because all experiences are mediated through the mind; there is no empirical reality observed independently of the mind. Therefore, anything beyond direct experience is doubtable. Premise 2: "O's" are the object of the conscious mind because there are some objective elements of the mind's experience and thoughts that the mind is engaging with. Premise 3: but "O's" are a mere abstraction because, when stripped of subjective elements like space, time, causality, and color, they remain only as abstracted ideas. Premise 4: ∴ If "O's" are abstractions and not minds, then they cannot will anything or impose themselves on the conscious mind Premise 5: Also, the mind has some control over its experiences (e.g., opening eyes to see), but not all experiences are desired, and the mind often encounters unwanted experiences (such as pain). Premise 6: ∴ If "O's" cannot impose themselves onto the mind, and the mind does not will all of its experiences, then some external force must account for these experiences. Conclusion: ∴, there must be an agent or force, "G," that creates or imposes experiences on the mind. "G" is a necessary variable arising from the argument, rather than an assumed variable....

Thank you for bringing the young philosopher again very enlightening - Looking forward to you bringing the great scholar Shaikh Hamza Yusuf also

[@hannusanda1889]

Yes Shaikh Paul it will be very interesting to see you and Shaikh Hamza - two great minds discuss some very important matter

[@homer1273]

Hama Yusuf is not a scholar but 6onist Emirati pup p et

[@homer1273]

Why do people follow cult leaders like hamza Yusuf blindly

[@Regreg347]

I know Hamza Yusuf has had very horrible political takes recently but which cult is he running lol​@@homer1273

[@raynrayyan]

​@@homer1273 be careful with the dangers of the tongue brother. Don't create fitnah, learn about the scholars properly, holistically, their knowledge, Adab and please don't make assumptions. We are an ummah.

Jazakum Allahu Khayran - Love your work Paul & Hasan. Really insightful. I definitely need to watch this video again. May Allah bless you & your work for our Ummah

[@NamlessSaint]

It has taken me a while to get around to this video as its just 'my bag'. Absolutly fascinating video. Well worth one buying the recommended books. The video is well worth listening to a second time as there was so much information one felt one should have a pad of paper and a pen to write bullet points. Bless both contributors. Excellent work. I have to check out The B.T.A... sighn me up pls take my money😂 excellent.❤

[@ismailxk13]

This is genuinely one of the best yt channels which talks about contemporary philosophy from an Islamic perspective

[@Zoro-dv6xl]

Having Shaykh Hasan Spiker on the show never disappoints. Thanks for another great podcast!

[@MuhammadIbrahim-pc9pr]

It was a pleasure to meet you in Cambridge at Jum'ah prayer with your student Ismael last summer Professor Paul. Thank you for your effort for the ummah.

[@ddevvnnull198]

This is philosophical gold. May God bless you for your generosity with which you both shared this dialogue.

[@BloggingTheology]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@itzo.k1956]

Salam ustadh Paul Extremely beneficial video may Allah bless you and mawlana hasan spiker 28:14 what is the professors name that mawlana just mentioned? Are there any videos of his lectures online?

Took me over a week to watch this, that's how I do it ❤

[@abdullahandersson132]

[@gr4707]

Ontological distance! What a fascinating concept!

[@fatimaking184]

gold is this channel

[@midlajmnlp]

Any students at BT Academy? If you don’t mind, please reply

[@mikorsis2729]

Regarding the point of the specific meaning of the word ‘divine’ which came up in the discussion, there is perhaps a missed point in considering its possible semantic link to the Arabic word “rabbaneyah’ which is definitely a Qoranic term…

[@Ryan-qb1or]

Hasan Spiker is the GOAT

[@OnkelKurac]

Selam aleykum please invite Alexander Dugin and talk about Islamic pol in his 4th Political Theorie and his concept (borrowed form Heidegger) of Dasein I want to learn more about this Inshaa Allah

[@ibrahimhussain8997]

Can this be put on Spotify the listening experience is much better

[@jesus_isamuslim]

If you read the Bible Jesus pbuh said in John 17:3 - "The only true God" ☝️ "Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent." 🔎 Explanation: Jesus refers to God as the "only true God," emphasizing that Jesus was sent by Him, not equal to Him. ➡️ Islamic Perspective: Jesus is a prophet who always directed people to the worship of one God. In Surah 43:64, Jesus is quoted as saying: "Indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. This is the straight path."❤☝️

[@msbudmsbud7593]

I wish there was a book Hasan Spiker about this topic.

[@raulm.2621]

What's the name of Plato's scholar Hasan mentions at 2:00:41? I didn't get it.

[@donaldmcronald8989]

J. N. Findlay

[@saminayousaf3514]

Please do ask him about his views on ibn Arabi work and books

[@majesticsoysauce8648]

Shaykh Hassan Spiker has lectures on shaykh al Akbar ibn Arabi, you can check them out on his yt

[@mohammedhanif6780]

he loves him and them and is a follower. isn't it obvious?

[@cionaed9912]

Amazing video

[@TranscendingModernity]

It's Platonism that led me to religion, but what are we to make of the Nominalism and Atomism in the Islamic tradition?

[@purekhizi]

They are far more marginal than you might think - their seeming prominence in the Islamic tradition is more to do with modern Muslims finding them congenial because of their own modernism, rather than their actual historical dominance.

[@mohammedhanif6780]

that is only one half of the Islmaic tradition as exemplified by the Mutakallimun, especially the Asharis, and the Taymiyyan traditionalists. The other half are the falsafa tradition still holding out in Iran with the Sadrians and then you have the Speculative Sufi tradition exemplified by Ibn Arabi and his followers. And you have the Maturidi speculative theologians who are bridge between the two. Each group claims to be orthodoxy.

[@ConquerModernity111]

Its Platonism that led me to religion to begin with, but what are we to make of the Nominalism and Atomism in the Islamic tradition?

[@zenlokamaya]

The terms "logon" and "alogon" in Aristotle's Metaphysics are mistranslated into Latin or English and make the Metaphysics inaccessible to modern people.

[@drsahmed1]

Pls address Imam Jaffer Sadiq's interpretation of multiverse with physicist .

[@yaminmiah2708]

is Hasan Spiker doing another PhD? If so, where if you dont mind me asking?

[@khalilgaming-d6c]

didn't understand what's the conclusion?

[@Poichichettoi]

Sujet difficile et sûrement pas accessible à tous

[@أبويوسف-ه4ط]

We dont need Plato, Socrates or Aristoteles.. We need the sunnah of our beloved Prophet Muhammad Ibn Abdullah (صلى الله عليه وسلام). May Allah guide us all around the world!

[@gr4707]

How arbitrarism is different from a Sophist’s moral relativism?! How many ism do we need to come up with?

[@012345family]

Plato didn't teach Alexander and their lifetimes barely interlap. Plato died when Alexander was just 6 years old and they never met each other.

[@contemplatively]

Great interview, as usual, but I was hoping Dr. Spiker would change my mind about the lack of any real importance of Kalam. Alas, his arguments for Kalam were not nearly as strong as his other work and I still find it hard to justify the study of Kalam.

[@purekhizi]

where was kalam discussed in the video? I didn't notice

[@majesticsoysauce8648]

Kalam is absolutely necessary for Muslims living in the west and even in their homelands today because of the pervasiveness of western philosophy everywhere. Kalam is just the understanding of our aqidah and the proofs of our aqida in a deep way, you can watch Paul’s discussion with shaykh shams tamees on this issue

[@Heideggerian123]

You don't know, the video you are commenting on is part of Kalam on from a grand perspective. I think you should read Kalam For The Dummies first

[@mohammedhanif6780]

this isnt kalam. the is speculative theosophical tasawwuf and outside the kalam tradition which is hallmarked by the jawhar and the 'aradh ​@Heideggerian123

[@rakibalmahdi2401]

Assalamualaikum, can we get a copy of the slides? Jazak Allahy Khair

[@Blade-kd5qe]

It doesnt seem to me that Platonism is an adequate soltuom to anything not that you cant take anything from Platonism but thus view of lime idealizing plato and going back to platonism theres a reason Platonism in the West led to this point

[@purekhizi]

You obviously haven't watched the video. As he repeatedly says, he's not talking about Plato the historical individual

[@purekhizi]

You also obviously don't know the history - Platonism hasn't dominated in the West since the 12th century

[@Zoro-dv6xl]

isn't it aristotelianism that has been dominant in the west since forever, and not platonism maybe?

[@Blade-kd5qe]

I'm saying Neo Platonism is literally where Christianity the one we see comes from

[@Blade-kd5qe]

Nicea Creed all that

[@TruRedCRIME]

I mean this respectfully because has is the kind of Muslim we need in the media but when i hear him speak it sounds like a guy ritchie movie lol

[@mohammedhanif6780]

lol

[@gr4707]

They are monotheists and ultimately their teachings resulted in a just monotheistic king Alexander the Great or zu’l Qarnayn

[@beehivepattern5695]

According to the issues in the muslims world, but some how the argument are not on the point. Its all about addressed the issues of a lifestyle between the different timeline. It has the same context just the different is choosing the best way as possible. We are human beings is life in a simple way by default until the complexity of forward consciusness create the curse of civilization started in Iraq then helenistic way of life taking over until now.

[@B1ackC3t]

3hr. Gosh

[@aminaa182]

The idea of monotheism is contradicting to what you are saying. Plato believed in the idea of Being. But in Islam, consciousness and being are opposite. If Being was consciousness then it would never have distinguished itself from itself. This distinction would be impossible, because the original unity is the unity from which it is impossible to emerge. And if one can emerge from this unity, if one can leave it and look back at yourself, at what from which one emerged, then it is not unity, this is an illusion of unity. For the muslim there is an absolute opposition between consciousness and being

[@purekhizi]

You have no idea what you are talking about. Keep up the day job.

[@mohammedhanif6780]

tantalising, piquant

[@enacausmembrane]

I was gonna jump cuz' I thought it was "Hasan Piker".

[@IT_Farhan]

The names are too similar 😂

[@zzairinnzzainoll527]

I can't watch this, the title itself goes against the Islamic Article of faith. Islam is our only guidance we need. ~And thus We have sent to you [0' Muhammad]Rooh[a Revelation， and a Mercy] of Our Command. You knew not what is the Book， nor what is Faith? But We have made it [this Qur'an] a light wherewith We guide who so ever Of Our slaves We will..) (surah 42: 52)

This man needs to follow Orwell's rules for good Engkish. Tgere is absolutely no use for the verbiage he clotges his ideas in, especially as he is presenting his ideas to the public and not his coterie of acolytes and heirophants (see how easy it is to use big words!)

[@BAFREMAUXSOORMALLY]

METAPHYSICS IS USELESS WHEN EVEN BELIEVERS IN GOD ARE CHASING MONEY AND FAME!

[@Reflectivethoughts13]

What about the ones who aren’t?

[@Johannes-f6i]

​@@Reflectivethoughts13Idk but the two in the video sell their knowledge at high price

[@mostofasadat8880]

Man I thought it was Hasan Piker 😂

[@monasautes4665]

Me thinking Hasan Spiker is a joke at Hasan Piker

[@leebarry5686]

Platonism helps nothing

[@Blade-kd5qe]

100 percent agree bro

[@Blade-kd5qe]

It's like they don't know that wvee had these ideas longer than even Christianity or these ideas are so old that People in The UK were like in tribes and barbarians at that time

[@Mk-xw1yj]

At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

[@PickleRick-t6b]

Metaphysics actually complies with Islam. To a Muslim it is very easily understood.
