Perhaps our greatest living philosopher, CT remains the focus of thought on what it means to be human. Thanx for putting this guy out there for us egg-heads to hear.

This is presented a few months before the release of Taylor's Sources of the Self and it is incredible to have documentation of this presentation and to reinsert ourselves in the moment just before this book was released. Sources of the Self is one of the most important and remarkable books of the late 20th century.

What I'll be bringing to this lecture is the contemporary (but also ancient) notion of the "eclipse of the self." This means that our notion of "subjectivity" or "consciousness" is, as it were, on the surface. It is not the INNERMOST. With the help of great poetry, we seek "something" that is "beyond communication," in the ordinary sense of that term. We have to land in a place that is best described as the "mystical."

I actually had to check the internet to see whether this Canadian philosopher is related to James Taylor because their appearance is similar. Makes me sad to watch old lectures or videos in general because you check and you see how much people have aged. This guy is still alive though according to the internet.

The was/is an entertaining treatment of some of the most significant root metaphors in "the west": inner and outer. I especially enjoyed the instance where poetry and art are subjected to the inner/outer. It can be seen in spaces where characterization is louder than composition and structure becomes a whisper. As far as a possible source, I would think to look toward biological fluids as the foundation, such as blood, reproductive fluids and how they have been interpreted, as the foundational instigators of this metaphorical interpretive representation in ritual, art, death, and emotions.

A very intelligent, thoughtful, and learned man. One question. How do we handle the end of life right now? I spent a lifetime asking the "profound questions," but it is the immediate question in front of us as to how we get out of here with the least amount of pain and suffering in the end that matters. Being a "thinker" in the end does not pay off because the world does not give one whit about your philosophy my friend.

Assuming philosophy has a personal utility is an expectation that may or may not be satisfied. Some are simply concerned for the truth, regardless of its consequences. On a separate note, philosophy can help you discover what it is you actually want. It may not satisfy desires, but it can clarify them, and illuminate a clear path to fulfilling them.

If there is a reward of eternal life, then philosophy has the potential to find the religious bridge, which crosses over to the eternal journey.

This is what you do while pushing the rock up the hill. Other people do other things. Interestingly enough, you have the rudimentary beginnings of your own philosophy by questioning another's. The information derived from this practice is up to you, I would think.

I think his inspiration comes from Wittgenstein and Isiah Berlin. Certainly the idea of the eye is Wittgenstein. And the idea that with have within our selves (and not just our societies) competing values and interpretations of ideologies is Isaiah Berlin.

He's more prescient than Jordan Peterson but it is frighting that we do not face the fact that we do not have any more resources for 'lectures' & informal entertainment academia. Taylor is on the formal side of the spectrum of information and #SurveillanceGeneratedSearchEngines will create formality without depending on types or theatre that just wastes resources The trial of Julian Assange will end theater and the spectacle to invite organic chemistry 'philosophy' of space interstitial networks

0:38 *RUBBISH* The search for "what it means to be a human being" is not "peculiar to our time". Ffs, the Eastern mystics have been exploring "Who Am I" for quite a few thousand years. Jeezuz. Modern arogance knows no bounds. This has nothing to do with modernity. Some modern people ponder that, many don't. Same as over the whole of history. But it has become a new age neurosis due to American psychoanalysis.
@HlleyXD Жыл бұрын
That's not what he said, but the way we are approaching this question currently is what's new. He mentioned Eastern philosophies, too, to show they also thought of this question but in a different way. Moreover, there is no American psychoanalysis as psychoanalys is European, more precisely developed and led by the Vienna circle, people such as Klein, Erikson, Anna and Sigmund Freud and so on. There is also a difference between psychoanalysis and psychodynamic theory, and we shouldn't confuse that. Americans are/were mostly cognitive and behavioralist.
