Love your videos. Only just discovered them. A well-known and well-loved rabbi argued with me that Spinoza was a pantheist and now I know how to argue back. The first cause that creates itself. Wonderful.

[@MARY19364]

I am an adult student of Philosophy and I am finding your videos very very helpful in studying for exams. You are filling me in, in all the pieces of information that I may not get a chance to ask my lecturer about in between lectures or that he may not have the time to go over. And I am sure that I am speaking for many other students of Philosophy both you and mature students who are in the same position as myself. Great Work and well done. The hours you put in to making these videos are certainly worth it. Annmarie

How could 5 people press dislike on this great series? What were they thinking?

[@susandunn6885]

Thank you! My husband just introduced me to Spinoza and these videos have solidified some of my own ideas about God and choices. Excellent presentations and explanations. Life Changing.

[@Betomclownful]

Thanks for the series, it has definitely helped me put some pieces together while reading ¨Ethics¨. It´s a shame you weren´t able to keep it up, but I certainly appreciate what there is. Take care.

[@AyahABDD]

Thanks for the series, will you please post video nimber 7 it is not working

[@robertcoltrane3985]

Thank you, looking forward to the next one.

[@lily2898]

Thank you so much for this enlightening series! excellent way to explain in simple words the complexity of Spinoza's works. Keep doing more series like this!!!!!

[@Jennypenny3467]

Such great work! Why did you stop???

[@Salim54321]

The best video in the net to explain this topic

[@kayofox4143]

Rip headphone users Great vid

[@tyrosser7401]

This video helped me so much! Thank you. Spinoza has been a difficult read for me, and your videos clearly illustrated the concepts that people need to be able to walk away from Spinoza understanding.

[@theintellectionsurge109]

+Ty Rosser Understanding Spinoza without guidance can be pretty hard indeed! Gilles Deleuze's class did the trick for me. Glad I'm helping, feel free to ask questions.

[@Aaooee]

You took a class with Deleueze? Neat!

[@aminegy678]

Sure it helps a lot. But the voice of the narrator is disturbing...

[@carloscamachopsychologist4800]

Thank you. I hope you continue. Regards.

[@freydisandchris2010]

Excellent series. Thank you.

[@endosmokingtv3391]

[@thedayofquicksilver6930]

Fantastic videos! Thank you.

[@billyalancaster]

Loved it.

[@Just_Jude100]

Seriously. You are THE MAN!

[@JRMarch78]

Great work! I'm learning a lot! From São Paulo, Brazil...

[@theintellectionsurge109]

+JRMarch78 Obrigado! Descubri Spinoza quando estudava en São Paulo ;)

[@youkoshi]

This is so good!!!! Where’d the next one go brother???

[@yaboiavery5986]

Seems like he abandoned his channel

[@havenbastion]

Meaning is the desire for the world to be other than it is, even if that means increasing the predictive certainty that other charges won't occur. There are two primary motivations, avoid and approach, in that order of salience. The purpose of all knowledge, wisdom, and understanding is actionable certainty.

[@ClarensisAquila]

Any plans to continue this series? It's been very helpful, both academically and otherwise. I found I've written about 6 times more about Spinoza than I had to in the past few hours, simply for my own records and considerations.

[@KarstenOkk]

I agree.

[@katrinayakizz]

Thank you.

[@deadly4736]

[@Coolkatzgamer]

I like your series keep up the good work

[@aininaomi1705]

+Cracticus nobi Very good and serious work. (Y)

[@likatsnobiladze7718]

Wow, so simply explained! Thank you!

[@brunosnoder7047]

Good vid homie

[@kieapatterson8221]

Excellent understanding

[@ahmaquindi]

Noo, why did you stop doing videos? They were so good!

[@theintellectionsurge109]

+Marta It' taking me a lot of time for very little gain unfortunately... Been looking into ways of making it easier for me but couldn't really find any. The channel isn't dead though! I'll just need to find time to continue

[@ahmaquindi]

+The Intellection Surge thank you for answering! Yeah, I'd thought about that. Well, I'll be looking forward for new stuff then!

[@theintellectionsurge109]

Marta :)

[@TampaDE5]

+The Intellection Surge yah come on man! these are great.

[@yasminebensalah2835]

I really want to know how its not just about following one's desire and what we should do instead? how is it so complicated? :( So far this helped me out so much, but I'm dying to know the rest. I mean I can do the research but you really put it out all so nice and coherent!

[@xxxdb04]

Thank you!

[@martinmichael2535]

Excellent work! I viewed all your videos at one sitting here in my apartment in Brussels, is there any other videos on KZbin that you could steer us towards? Thanks.

[@robertcoltrane3985]

Corporeal fantasy or philosophyworkshop

[@endosmokingtv3391]

when will the next videos come out? i just subscribed 😊

[@iammraat3059]

V unfortunate he discontinued

[@annachan8151]

Please make the next part

[@SkiesToInfinity]

I enjoyed the series. I have Ethics, but it is a bit overwhelming, so thank you!

[@benjammin6692]

I think it's the layout. Someone ought to rewrite the Ethics in clear prose.

[@AaronMetallion]

Great videos, but you need a compressor mic / or a compressor preset on your voice, or simply increase the volume. It's falling very flat, and the volume is below normalized. Compressors will kick in any lows, and lower any highs so you get a crisp, leveled out body to your voice. It'll make listening to this a lot more complete. That aside really great videos.

[@czarofentropy]

Thanks very much, this is the most comprehensive break down of Spinoza I have come across. Do you have stuff on Deleuze and Giutarri? Specifically in relation to affect? Thanks again

[@hpbestialtroublemaker426]

the next video :( ? ?

[@souadk.4933]

It's still hard for me to differ between affection/affect and emotion/feelings D;

[@FrankNFurter1000]

I recommend reading up on contemporary affect theory :)

[@bushrajahin7286]

Love the videos but the intro music is waaaay too loud

[@TampaDE5]

did 7 come out?

[@theintellectionsurge109]

+Zack S Not yet! Hopefuly in the next month

[@jaredprince4772]

The volume in the first few seconds was quite a bit louder than what follows. That's very irritating. I had to mute it as it was blasting my ears.

[@dmiller1397]

If anyone is interested in new Spinoza content visit MartinButler.eu he is also on Patreon and KZbin. It's a shame this series did not continue. It's quite good.

[@kinneko3]

Did he die?

[@EwingAmaterasu]

And Episode 7?

[@colinmayne293]

Ahaha Spinoza stopped ethics 5 with the affects. But a video about his ethico-theological traité would be nice !

[@spiralthinker]

Why in the world (lol) did you think (lol) you stopped at 6, despite your declared intention to continue regarding what, in Spinoza's thinking, complicates simply following desire - so clearly you've stopped in the middle?! Hope that you haven't met w/ untoward accident! (1/2 joke) Actually, from the point of view of the tradition Spinoza thought he thought his way out of it would make perfect sense a study of him wouldn't reach 7, the number of completeness, but at any rate, THANK YOU FOR THE LUCIDITY, AND I DO HOPE YOU CAN AND WILL PICK IT UP. His view of materiality being the real thing is tremendously interesting from the point of view of Kabbalah, in at least one stream of which, Chabad Hasidism, seeming substantiality (yeshut "self-ness") of the materiality is because of its immediate root in the Truly Substantial Beyond all Duality, which we still therefore intuit as existing, because we are it. Miles away, but a close neighbor lol

[@jo69ma]

create longer videos with cc about Spinoza's philo.

[@surenderkumarohlayan6900]
