Very well-organized video and great editing! Many people think that philosophers were wise men. However, they were trying to achieve wisdom, constantly questioning their own ideas. It is very helpful to have videos like these that clarify what philosophy really is. Great job!
Please, if you’re new to philosophy, don’t go to the School of Life. Their philosophy videos are highly inaccurate and steer more toward self-help than the actual subject.
@@davidjlensing Hi, thank you for the response and for your wonderful videos. One example is their video on Kant. m.ua-cam.com/video/nsgAsw4XGvU/v-deo.html Around the 3 minute mark, they present the kategorischer Imperativ as a “restatement” of the Golden Rule. This is not true, and Kant himself had serious problems with the golden rule. www.qcc.cuny.edu/socialsciences/ppecorino/intro_text/Chapter%208%20Ethics/Categorical_Imperative.htm Additionally, the video presents the kategorischer Imperativ as inviolable solely because of the consequences of universally breaking it. But Kant was the exact opposite of a consequentialist. The KI is inviolable because doing so would result in a logical contradiction, not because doing so would have bad consequences. Furthermore, they make no mention of the Kritik der reinen Vernunft which is regarded as Kant’s landmark work. Another example is their video on Lao Tzu, where they give contradictory information and even use made-up quotes not from the Dao De Jing. Here is a great video critiquing that: m.ua-cam.com/video/O3y7aiwp4sY/v-deo.html
Philosophical anthropology is an incredibly interesting topic imo. In my COMMUNITY section: "The human evolution process, an approach with modern philosophical anthropology as a basis" I reflect on the modern human species and its relation to energy transformation and space exploration. My basic question is, should the modern human species still be called an animal, or is it now (soon) so different concerning its behaviour that it doesn't make sense anymore ? An animal has a brain mainly to control its body functions, a modern human is more and more developing towards a brain in focus which needs a body to survive, air and food. This brain is constructed to not accept total randomness and luck for surviving in the solar system, it can by transforming energy (then being able to deflect medium sized asteroids, survive in severe ice ages etc) and spreading out in the star system, affect its own probability for survival. Then it has abandoned the main principle in the animal world, randomness and luck concerning survival in the long run.
Sehr wenige: Unter Zielgruppe > Top-Länder steht Deutschland mit 77 % an der Spitze, gefolgt von Österreich, Schweiz, Italien und Luxemburg. Erst dann kommen die USA mit nur 37 Klicks in den letzten 28 Tagen. Genau diesem Missverhältnis möchte ich mit ein paar englischsprachigen Videos auf Dauer entgegenwirken. Mal schauen, ob das klappt. 🤓

Good video. Philochrony is the theory that describes the nature of time and demonstrates its existence. Time is magnitive.

Thank you for the objection. Can you give an example of the high inaccuracy?

This is a great video!
Thanks!
Sehr schönes und anschauliches Video, deine englische Aussprache ist echt sehr gut und deine Videobearbeitung (setting, cuts, ...) extrem angenehm !
Hmmm ... the bestest explaination of philosophy in a nutshell I've ever coming across.

Thank you for these exciting insights! This sums up the paradigm shift very well.
@@davidjlensing Thanks, I fully agree :)
Hast du in deinen Analytics Übersichten, in denen du siehst sie viele englischsprachige User du erreichst? Das wäre mal interessant. :)
