I love how youtube is a great platform when you find great intelligent people who do what they love
Your observation at the end of the video is brilliant.
I think you’re right, Kant seems to say that people thinking for themselves (escaping “tutelage”) is inevitable provided they are given freedom in the public sphere. Of course, how could he foresee the power of mass media, mass culture and social media as powerful tools for shaping discourse?
I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on Habermas and his idea of a more democratic bourgeois public sphere and how it differs from Kant.
Well done. Thank you!
love your content
this video is saving my main handin in a philosophy course hahaha thank u!
What is the 'identity of philosophers'?
Really helpful explanation. Thank you for this. Do you do counseling sessions via zoom ?
Bahahaha! Nice one!
Great video
Perfect. However can you direct me to any substantial repository of resource on kant's political philosophy and enlightenment thinking in general?
Cambridge have published a book called ‘Kant’s Political Philosophy’, which is a collection of some of his works
Thanks
Reversing it.. while they are like no we won't reverse it and go over here and keep doing it
Thank you 🙂
Ironically I will now be basing my comprehension of this text off of this video rather than read it myself, cheers
I think you said that Kant wants to enlightened people to be governed in a way that allows an enlightened culture to grow and grow.
today, you seem to be saying, that wouldn't work because public behavior is manipulated in ways they are not aware of.
if Kant is talking about enlightened people and we are not enlightened people then there need be no application today.
but if the question becomes how could we become enlightened, so that Kant's protocols could be met, that is a separate thing.
The "Chinaman from Konnigsberg" liked Buddhism, as did Schopenhauer (his quote defining Kant), but didn't understand meditation and didn't understand enlightenment (both). Meister Eckhart, some Christians, and perhaps plodding Plotinus may have understood a little about enlightenment but no one else in the west. No philosophy in west after Aristotle--zero, zilch, nada--a waste of time and trees that we are so short of now.
Intelligence is collective.
Reality a consensus.
?
Work on the conclusion and the recommendation a bit harder.
iTs seems to be akin to those that claim to be 'Free thinkers' today - a stupid concept that drives me to drink ! - How can one be a free thinker ? - All social relations are mediated by capital which is to say nothing of the accrual of cultural forms and the momentum that has vomited us into the world as children of the 60's,70's,80's etc. and marked us all with peculiarities that attend to those decades in particular.Heideggers thrownness.
And yet you seem to be freely thinking
-semantic games- all of it- social determinism is not the only game in town
is da tootle you and the me me?
Why is this guy so damn cute?
You need no philosophy because things are moving backward not forward. The best philosophy today is where to get your next meal every thing else is time waste.
