My mom bought a book about wabi-sabi a few months ago. What a coincidence. I'll send her this. By the way, I love how you slow and and deliberate you are in your narration.

Very good vid as usual! Those Eastern peoples with their ideas of impermanence and imperfection are at it again hehe

Great video! Being present with importance impermanence is certainly something we all need; it is very common to experience the world through the limited lens of our ideal categories and perfect scenarios, and as a result to block out and become averse to the ways in which the world inevitably fails to meet up to these ideals. This tension between ideal and reality can surely be motivating, but it can also cause one to become despondent: better to find ways to practice seeing the world as it wants to be seen, rather than as we should like to see it. A final point: between imperfection and impermanence. Perfect and imperfect are judgements of the world which are contingent on our ideals; in contrast, permanence and impermanence are dependent on our understanding of our perceptions, and our ontological interpretations of them. As a result it is impossible that we should perceive impermanence without a background of permanence through which impermanence contextualized. The permanence in impermanence is this: that phenomena in time are permanently impermanent. Impermanence, being constant, embodies the ideal of the permanent. Likewise, when we perceive permanence it is only known through contextualization within a background of impermanence: if I were to say "the sun shall always rise and set," I will be proven a fool unless I specify a timeframe, "untill it explodes or swallows the sun, etc." To summarize: it appears to be that the Japanese philosophical tradition centers impermanence and places permanence at the margins: the Greek philosophical tradition centers permanence and places impermanence at the margins. There is a unity here, a middle way: a way to understand the world in simultaneous terms of permanence and impermanence. We mustn't jump ahead to this point: for Westerners, I think that a lot of work contemplating and living in accordance with wabi -sabi will be necessary to reach a fertile point from which to synthesize these two poles.

School of Life video on Wabi-Sabi was my first introduction to this Japanese philosophy. Maybe you do not know it, but your style of video is reminiscient of School of Life.
@mystiverse Жыл бұрын
I did take some inspiration from the classic School of Life style for this video. I know they are immensely well received videos, but in academic circles, they don't hold much philosophical weight. Hopefully this video goes a bit deeper into the philosophy than de Botton does!

@@mystiverse I really liked his series on philosophers. It was before when I knew the names of such people, and presented me with a foundational understanding of their lives and work. I do not know too much about academic circles, but I suppose a person with access to a deeper understanding of whomever would disapprove a brisk analysis and straightforward representation. Anyways, I appreciate the work that you do. Thank you

Oh definitely, the School of Life has great value in introducing people to ideas and concepts from different philosophers! But I think it's better used as a springboard for a deeper discussion than as a resource for what the philosophers actually thought. Of course, most people are not academic philosophers! Thank you indeed for your lovely words :)

In the Bible, the universe and nature are creations of God, whereas, in Japan, gods are born out of nature.
