The Stages of Desire | Soren Kierkegaard Either/Or

[@GeneralPedrowsky]

Your videos are such a great example of how interesting and well made content can be even if all you have are toons and a voiceover! Always great to see a notification from this channel! I don't know if Kierkegaard was somewhat excessive in his depiction of the aesthetic life, but I do think he has a point. Being an aesthetic is all fun and games untill anything comes up that takes away the focus from the superficial distractions and forces you to look at what you have that's even a little bit constant in your life. I think that's when people might experience depression, it's a later stage of the aesthetic life and only manifests itself when and if people place all of their attention on it, ignoring other areas of life, and then are faced with the realization that all that time amounted to nothing of substances and was thus wasted. Stoics be like: "we warned you guys" 😅

I definitely don't recognize that woman from just a drawing of her nor her iconic glasses.

How do you distinguish desire from limerence or rather not letting desire become limerence? A firm handshake to you for assembling this wonderful homage to my favorite writer ever

[@aesop1451]

Great video! Can you do a video on 'Fear and Trembling' by Kierkegaard?

Desire is gain by senses

[@migkaningenflytte]

On the second stage, i think what A. Is saying is, if the object of desire dissapears, you are no longer in the second stage of desire. You go back to desirering "food" because you are hungry. In this example, food=womanlyness. If that makes sense.

I’ve never had a casual experience. I’ve only had serious relationships. However it’s probably my culture and age. 49 and brought up in a traditional catholic hispanic household. I will agree that some of my friends sure looked like they’ve had their fun in the dating game. Nice video as always. Thank you.

It' a trap, you get the hottest sex but you lay in your bed alone, and wanting more than sex, wanting company.

[@kaceyrodriguez3053]

So you can have unspecified desire (can't be gratified), a desire for something specific (and it lets you down, getting what you want), and then wanting many desires of a similar kind (polyamory)?

[@glitchmill4795]

Oh Man, i love hot steamy Bible Studies and BTW i saw that you used penguin classics but for a person like me whose second language is English what would you reccomend?

[@PhilosophyToons]

Ah man Idk if i'd be the best authority for that question. Usually when I have translation questions I do a google search and I'll find a thread somewhere talking about it though

[@sike6367]

when did you change your name from amygdala vids to this. Now i've got so many videos to catchup.

Hey! What copy of the book would you recommend? I really want to read this piece for some time now :)

Maybe that thumbnail is a bit too on the nose? LOL great video as usual!

[@PhilosophyToons]

Whaddya mean? I chose a random individual with no cultural significance whatsoever lol

[@SistoActivitatemAtm]

Excuse me sir but in the beginning of the video you mentioned how you will edit out a part about how you desire the mom from Disney's show Wizards of Waverly place, however it's still in the video. I thought it best to bring this mistake to your attention in case you would like to correct it. We may all have sexual fetishes (Latino milfs in this case it would seem..) but to accidentally reveal them in a philosophical video might be very embarrassing! 😅

[@NotInterested-yb8tu]

Anyone else think the woman in the thumbnail was the great Adult philosopher Mia Khalifa? Asking for a friend

Don't worry, Paul, not even musicians like opera.
