Prof. Paul Guyer - Hume, Kant, and the Passion for Reason

"Hume, Kant, and the Passion for Reason" by Professor Paul Guyer was presented as part of the prestigious Edinburgh Philosophy lecture series, the Nature of Knowledge Lectures.

Guyer is brilliant! I enjoy his books!

[@ryanjavierortega8513]

Dr. Guyer was by far the Greatest Professor that I have ever had. It is terribly saddening that he has left Pennsylvania.

[@bindon8581]

Hume thinks we use passionate rationaiisation; and hopefully through calm or clear thinking. Kant thinks there is a Categorical Objective: to "love everyone as yourself." Is that right?

At certain points, I felt that the speaker had not prepared properly for this event. Perhaps he was up late watching the Tree of Life play he mentions.

Very cool place for serious students

Hi, Paul. Thanks for submitting your oral presentation for PHIL111. While your content was accurate, it was phenomenally and breathtakingly stark. The task of the assignment was to give a brief two minute overview of Hume, Kant, and the Passion for Reason, yet, Paul - you literally READ WORDS FOR ONE HOUR. I actually do appreciate that you looked up from time to time and the hand gestures were very convincing, but .....I actually have no words. Only letters. Paul this is a very generous: C-. Please make sure to READ THE BRIEF before submitting next time. Good luck for the rest of your first year here at The University of Edinburgh

Exactly... Perhaps he's uncomfortable with the uncertainty of not having his speech literally physically in front of him. He relies on sense experience I guess.

I found this comment funny, haha

[@hishamfahmy6169]

I hate a lecturer who solely reads out his lecture 😒

[@Hokumai444]

You are right. I hate too.

[@ArumesYT]

I have to agree with most of the other comments. Next time just publish the 'lecture' as a PDF or something, I don't need someone else to read it to me. Let alone in such a boring way.

[@channelmoved9096]

I wish there were more videos like this. I can put headphones on and have someone read me a lecture while I clean or fix things.

[@zhang2011xiang]

I personally don't like his starting sentence -" Now, done to business".

He is just reading out loud from the paper!

Lecturers should be made to do some teacher training. What is the point of a lecture? If you are trying to communicate facts why not write them down and hand them out? If you are trying to explain something how will you know when you have succeeded? When the students can relate your explanation, or a version of it? When they can manipulate the explanation? If you are trying to socialise them into understanding human discourse this, patently, isn't discourse.....and so on, and so on, and so...

[@stallebrass]

Rubbish lecture... he read practically the whole time!

[@georgesimbanegavi6378]

kkkk am laughing

[@garetcrosman3628]

Pointless *lecture*. We are already engulfed by the written word.

[@Philiopantheon82]

This is the most monotonous boring lecture i have listened to on youtube, no offense to the professor but this was more like a lecture on Geography or history than philosophy!! Never derailed from the subject matter, no useful gesture or funs to make the listeners more elated. Philosophy is deep and that depth should be taken as a whole not just by reading a damn paper, if Kant or Hume were in this lecture i am sure they would have been out of the room after first 15 minutes.

[@daquidi]

A poor reductionist reading of Kant...

[@claudioderubertis3170]

academic dogmatic shit. I suffered trying to read guyer, he is so confusing and too much intellectual masturbations... useless almost.
