- Rene Descartes is perhaps the world’s best known-philosopher, in large part because of his pithy statement, ‘I think therefore I am.’ He stands out as an example of what intellectual self-confidence can bring us. Please subscribe here: tinyurl.com/o28mut7

@UCIhV7lRTIQVzzb6ya_KPAhA .. excuse me wtf?!
Where is this quote (I think, therefore I am) from?????
Because, dude, I'm thinking,
Wait (I think) I read his Mediations On First Philosophy (or something along those lines),
Translated into English it was a text book.
And for the life of me i can't remember him proffessing this...
The closest would have been something like,
I am an object which thinks.
Having seen the entire video, I'm thinking, well his meditations on his first philosophy might as well be clearer, or more further analysed and resolved; at least that's how it was presented in the textbook; it had critical notes and even his response to said notes...
Given that, One can Imagine a big fat one-eyed purple people-eater, therefore it exists although It may not be able to think.
And then, his profession, I think therefore I am, sort of makes less sense philosophically.
But then, I'm not college-educated. And sorry for wasting your time, if that's what you think of my dumb inquiry.

Descartes walks into a bar.
"Would you like a drink, sir?" the bartender asks.
Descartes responds with, "I think not," and ceases to exist.
Sarah, that is funny application of Descartes's skeptical method..
***** Thank you. I thought long and hard about it. Longer and harder than I really should have.
Awake ned No. I don't make innuendo puns, mate.
Awake ned In your dirty mind, perhaps.
Did you think long and hard enough to realize that you exist?
Descartes doesn't say he hoped into a stove. He meditated and developed his method while living in a small room heated by a stove. Such a room was called "poêle" which is the french word for stove. when recounting this In his "Discours de la méthode", he is referring to the room, not the stove itself.
It sounds cooler if he hopped into a stove tho
you are right lol i speak french and in school we are studying descartes and it's more accurate caue we sudy him in french. I didnt get it when he said descartes was in a stove lmaooo
Shut up buzzkill
@@Paddy984 No he is right, the word poêle was used by Descartes to refer to a heated room with a stove. There are many metonyms in the french language.
Thanks. I couldn't match the logical and down to earth mind of descartes jumping into a coal stove.
This makes way more sense
Descartes is a very important person. He is regarded as the father of modern philosophy. He is also regarded as the father of modern mathematics. That is amazing. As a math teacher, I used his coordinate plane every day.
I fkn love this channel & everyone who reads this comment!! Those who listen to this content can, & will, do great things in the future world! My hat comes off to all of you who take the time to learn, as, when you think about it, time is all we really have at our disposal ! Our only precious resource! I'm taking some of my time to write this comment, to commend such a great channel and to extend my written voice to the many future thinkers, philosophers, poets, scientists, sociologists, that have all gathered here, on this video, in but a fleeting moment in time , as fate & chance will have it !

I was sort of expecting a few remarks on his mathematical genius. It is often overlooked by people how the most brilliant of mathematicians were at the same time rather sober and helpful thinkers...
+Selman Adzovic He was a far better mathematician than philosopher.
+quinndiesel1977 mathematics is accessible to people in science, philosophy helps everybody that what he is remembered for. No I don't remember what his theorems talked about.
I see that many of you have missed my point. I do not find it relevant to speculate on whether Descartes had more significance as a philosopher than as a mathematician or scientist. The point is that wisdom of many of history's intelectual giants was not channelled solely through philosophy, but also through mathematics and natural sciences, to the point that there seems to be strong correlation between these areas of human intelect. Descartes is a prime example of this, but others like Spinoza, Leibniz or even Einstein could easily be placed in that same context. It is therefore unfortunate that many think of mathematical or natural sciences as dry or unimaginative, or of philosophy as disconnected from reality of practical life. A genius like Descartes showed that profound wisdom is just a common trait of different areas of human activity.
+Selman Adzovic That goes without saying. People don't usually name all the ingredients of pizza, they simply say pizza or the kind of pizza, pepperoni, mushroom, etc. Nothing "overlooked" here, just the point that the "part" of the whole you are most interested in was not discussed in this particular video. Many other parts of the whole were left out as well. The logical thing to do is to search youtube for Descartes Mathematics. You will find in many of those videos that his philosophical "parts" are not included.
+Selman Adzovic If you like mathematics check out Numberphile
damn if they were shocked to see him in bed at 11am, i would like to see their reaction when i am in bed at 3pm
Well daylight meant something back then.
zakariya mohamud I wake up at 3pm but stay in bed until 5pm...you could say I'm thinking...but I really don't want to do life
zakariya mohamud or imagine how they'd react to me not getting up all day on vacations period!
It is what I thought
I think in bed, therefore I am in bed.
When it's 3am and you're awake, reflecting on your own existence
"I think, there I don't sleep"
In the world of social media it's nice to get away from meme posts and celebrity news, and instead go back to what really matters, Knowledge.
Kelvin_ Eclectic in the end not even knowledge matters
@@huejanus6459 Well .. why does that matter ?
zxviii X it doesn't, nothing matters
Agree with you.
Damian Elizondo Just because nothing ultimately matters doesn’t mean things don’t matter to me.
The internet has proved René wrong. There's plenty of people out there who has never been thinking a single thought their whole lifes, but apparantly they still exist.
Technically, that has nothing to do with what René said. Sorry, but your joke is wrong
@@arisoda He said "i think, therefore i am" so what the dude is trying to say is that many people now adays dont think, yet they "still are"
@@ren.8137 I know what he was trying to say. But what he said simply didn't make any sense and is plain wrong. You guys clearly don't understand "I think, therefore I am".
First of all, you can't know whether or not someone else's existence is CERTAIN, because you can't read their minds, only your own. So you cannot hear them thinking and therefore knowing they ARE. There is a reason René said "Therefore *I* am", not "Therefore *they* are", or "I *see* [them], therefore *they* are". This goes completely against what René said.
@@arisoda This wasnt meant to be analyzed, it was a joke basically saying people now a days dont think. Therefore theres nothing wrong with it, you just want to sound smart which isnt really working for you.
@@ren.8137 But there IS something wrong with it. Jokes aren't working when they're wrong. It's as simple as that.
And there was a reason I said "Technically", implying that I WANT to analyse it, regardless of the intention of the joke. You should read better, or else you sound no smarter me.
PS: why are you liking your every comment lol.
I absolutely love Descartes's books. Specially the ' Meditations on First Philosophy', it was so personal and his emotions and thoughts were vividly expressed as he imparts his wisdom. It's absolutely wonderful.
I eat, therefore, I am.

@RE ID nothing important, animal
Descartes to me is the most important philosopher ever. That is, in relation to the formation of modern science. He was to Newton, as Newton was to Einstein. Although a rationalist(as opposed to an empirical scientist), his work in mathematics was necessary in shaping Newton's mind in terms of structuring the world. My personal favorite work of his is the well-established Cartesian Coordinate System.
+Satoshi Nakamoto I wonder why many overlook the Cartesian Coordinate System, the concept that every man will eventually understand despite their will.
Can you please explain to me the difference between a rationalist and an empirical scientist?
@@shivammishra1720 truth is derived from logical concepts vs. truth derived from observation. Science places the latter in greater importance
@@satoshinakamoto5710 Okay so both are the means of getting knowledge but the latter one is better but not perfect.
He ranks equal to Rousseau and Kant in terms of complete idiocy
I hate to be "that guy," but at 3:18 the book shown was Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica by Isaac Newton. I only noticed because I was so impressed by the animations. They were great... like, Terry Gilliam level animations!!!

Excellent philosopher, a true lover of wisdom, a passionate and honest intellectual, the creator of 'self', of our consciousness and, like it or not, we cannot go back to Greek naiveté. So, let's embrace it with joy!
+Elsa Alves Greek naiveté?
+ThePeaceableKingdom Yes, before Sin came in.
+Elsa Alves Pardon my English - naivety

I'm not disagreeing. I was just wondering what you meant...
I thought about Eratosthenes! The guy who calculated the circumference of the world 2300 years ago! He only used his own reasoning and two sticks for that! ( And a poor guy whose name is not written nowhere, who was - hopefully properly - paid by him to walk 800 km to measure the distance between those sticks. May he rest in peace... History is so unfair.)
Or let's remember Democritus and Leucippus and their speculation on atoms 2500 years ago! Or someone like Newton who all by himself discovered the laws of optics, laws of motion, universal law of gravitation and invented calculus! So Descartes certainly had a point there when he argued that we must trust the strength and the capacity of our own minds.
But still: I think it is a much wiser approach not to divide the world into " me and the others", but to see those others " as a part of yourself". This way you would be very kind to everybody and you would respect and consider their thoughts, and value their legacy as a part of our shared human experience. Besides, if you are so confident in your own reasoning why should you be afraid of being " badly influenced" by other people's opinions? Therefore "seeking no knowledge other than that which could be found in yourself" may not be all that reasonable....
Thank you very much for another wonderful lesson!
+Lua Veli Thank you so much. My thoughts as well.
Eugene Sudi
Hello Eugene:-) Thank you for reading and for your message!
+Lua Veli nice comment right there
+Chino Rodríguez
Gracias por leer! :-)
Ah .. ok...
Eratosthenes.. he was recognised at his tym tho.. the reason he is not featured so much is because other people during his time did more substantial or rather accurate work.. take for example Archimedes...
anyway... i do agree that his work was very key to growth of Astronomy..
Im so glad it has lots of translations! Thank you very much!
I love the way it is presented with writings.
Well done 🙏🙏🙏
"I think therefore I am" was first written in the metaphysical meditations I believe :)
Nope!, He said it first in the Discourse on the Method. He expands on it in Meditations.on First Philosophy, with slightly different wording.
Whenever I think of the meditations of Rene,I feel life depends on an individuals mind..virtue and vice.....He was man who never belief in dualism....
Thank you for making these videos i am taking a college philosophy class and these videos simplify it for my dumb mind. I like the style and the calming voice it helps me pay attention to the subject at hand
literally me rn 😆 how'd philosophy go though?
+The School of Life Thank you for introducing me to this great philosopher. I think I am going to read more about his works.

It would be amazing if you guys made a video on more modern philosophers who are still alive! For example, Chomsky, Zizek, Peter Singer or even Michael Sandels. Or even Alain de Botton himself! I would love to see and learn about how contemporary philosophers think and comment on modern society :)
Wow🤗 these videos are nice especially when you want a recap of your studies in Philosophy. I got an A+ in Philosophy due to these type of videos. Keep up with the same work!
This is amazingly done, thank you.
I'm remember once hearing that no matter what, you can not prove wrong that you are actually a butterfly dreaming of being a human being.
Once upon a time, I dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was myself. Soon I awaked, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man.
+Awakening to oneness you were neither, you were a man on crystal meth lol
+mike jones lol no dude that's the quote that you're speaking of. It was a dream from a famous Taoist, he dreamt he was a butterfly and when he awoke he said how can I be sure I'm not a butterfly dreaming I am a man, he then went further and said he can't, it's impossible! That's the famous writings after his dream... 😂👍
I remember once hearing about a fellow who told his loan shark, to whom he owed $10,000 - he doubted the existence of all things,including money.
The painful loss of several fingers permanently changed his perception...
One can't prove that, you are right in saying that. However, the person that makes a statement also has to prove that the statement is correct.
You are brilliant for summing up one of the most complicated philosophies in the world in a short, interesting, and comprehensive way!
I truly appreciate your great efforts.

Hehehe I'm totally gonna use the "gangs of scientists" as my wall paper.
An author and researcher I respect says that philosophers can be wrong, but we have to see their strengths and weak areas and appreciate them as those who *think*. This presentation of this philosopher who I've learned to despise has made me capable of seeing the whole man. Thank you
Out of curiosity, what caused you to become less fond of him?
Just subscribed. LOVE YOUR WORK! Best I've seen in a while; even better than Crash Course.
Man... He seems like such a remarkable man.
Sometimes I feel utterly alone in this line of thinking and it's relieving to know that there are others who place as much importance on it as I do
So great the way you make a monumental philosopher fun without oversimplifying.

The facial expressions of the guy solving the rubik's cube as the representation of trusting logic has made me burst into laughter. Fabulous!
When Descartes talked about the "great books" or "letters", what was he referring to?
Was he talking about the classical texts of Plato and others that were used in his primary education?
Rene Descartes , the great French mathematician of the seventeenth century , liked to lie in bed and think ! One day , when resting in bed , he solved the problem of describing the position of a point in a plane . His method was a development of the older idea of latitude and longitude . In honour of Descartes , the system used for describing the position of a point in a plane is also known as the Cartesian system .
I've never listened to philosophy before. This is the third tonight, while working on my bike. It's very interesting!
I come here and subscribe to a well spoken description of topics I have checked out NUMEROUS library books or bought and tried to finish but never kept their basic difference beyond capitalist, commie, liberal religious, atheist. This is like PBS in a nice package.
I'm so smart now that I've found this channel
Well this presumption has completely tarnished your knowledge in my eyes. Neither of us know what is the true "good". But there is this difference between us, that, although you know nothing, you believe that you know Something. Whereas if I don't know anything, at least I'm not in doubt. So all of this wisdom superiority that is given to me by the Oracle is reduced to only knowing that I know nothing.
@@klutchboi3266 I would care more if I didn't care so little about your eyes
@@MidnightMatta Chill it was a joke. It's just a Socrates reference. I thought I didnt have to say it since it's one of the most famous quotes in philosophy
A man who was rational in times of religious people. brave man
He was a Catholic and he gave a very deep critique of atheism yet he was considered an atheist which he was not
Descartes was still Religious.
There is power in simple logic. It's so powerful that it's overlooked.
I am so happy I found this channel! keep up the great work. Bravo! 👌
Descartes didn't directly dismiss God from his philosophy, he tried to philosophically reconnect to God. He tried to do away with the dubious and uncertain aspects of knowing God.
This channel is good at giving a good overview or philosophers, but it seems like anytime he can quote a philosopher downplaying God or Christianity he does. The only exception being I've seen being the explanation for Nietzsche's "God is Dead" quote.
Will you guys being doing any videos of Eastern philosophers like Adi Shankara? I'd love to hear a explanation of non-dualism/Advaita Vedanta in layman's terms.
Thanks!
Absolutely wonderful channel.
I loved studying Descartes work. When The Matrix hit the theaters, “I think, therefore I am” flooded my mind.
i learned about this guy in school today
The seventeenthcentury philosopher Descartes, regarded as the founder of modern philosophy, gave expression to this primary error with his famous dictum (which he saw as primary truth): “I think, therefore I am.” This was the answer he found to the question “Is there anything I can know with absolute certainty?” He realized that the fact that he was always thinking was beyond doubt, and so he equated thinking with Being, that is to say, identity - I am - with thinking. Instead of the ultimate truth, he had found the root of the ego, but he didn't know that.
It took almost three hundred years before another famous philosopher saw something in that statement that Descartes, as well as everybody else, had overlooked. His name was JeanPaul Sartre. He looked at Descartes's statement “I think, therefore I am” very deeply and suddenly realized, in his own words, “The consciousness that says 'I am' is not the consciousness that thinks.” What did he mean by that? When you are aware that you are thinking, that awareness is not part of thinking. It is a different dimension of consciousness. And it is that awareness that says “I am.” If there were nothing but thought in you, you wouldn't even know you are thinking. - Eckhart Tolle
I think in your statement....consciousness is being equated with thinking.
Consciousness itself is simply just an awareness. A "room" where thoughts, feelings/emotions, intuitions and etc., can be brought into and processed....like a computer.
I think Descartes may have meant, the "i" was the consciousness- not thinking or thought itself.
Bc if thinking is cause for existence, it seems computers do it, it seems animals do it.
But to another of Descartes's points, I can't know that with absolute certainty bc I am not a conscious entity inside other beings, only my own.
So great writer hats off master class , I like writers
Still great today." I Think, therefore I Am." Great algebra!
School of life , I've just recently stumbled upon this channel but already it has driven me to take on a new perspective on life and I like to think that I will enjoy it more than I would have , had I never seen Alain de Bottons and many other videos. I was hoping that perhaps , and I wont be disappointed if you say no because I know its a lot to ask , you could help me on the matter of choosing a university course , it doesn't even have to be specifically for me , just a general help video for all soon to be uni students perhaps. I've already accepted a place and course at a university but I'm unsure as to whether or not it is the right course for me and whether or not I should change it. Do you perhaps have any advice on finding the right course for one self ? I've chosen a course which will likely help me get employed but I'm not sure if I will enjoy it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated :)
+The School of Life Thank you for the quick response and your consideration ^^ I'm sure it would help me and others.
+Relative Reality Hi there! This channel has already a video called " How to find fulfilling work". And here are some other things that could be helpful to you:
1. Alain de Botton have a great book called: "The pleasures and sorrows of work". Search for this title on youtube too. You can also watch a speech by him. That will give you a good perspective.
2. Search for the documentary Status Anxiety by Alain de Botton . It is also on youtube.
3. Watch the TED Talks by Ken Robinson.
I am sure these will help you a lot. Good luck!

His influence on mathematics is undeniable and the same qualities that made him a brilliant mathematician are what gave him his unique philosophical insights.

You showed a pic of Newton's Principia over Descartes' Philosophy
Not the first time I see mistake in this channel. Suggestion: annotate over the occasional mistake, like other good educational channel do.
What a weird mistake to make though, right? I mean, they must've just googled ''Principia philosophy'' and chose the first one they saw.
I believe that what he says is more important than the images that appear on the screen... probably the person who does the videos doesn't know the difference.. and in the end it doesn't really matter.

Descartes goes to a bar. The barman asked :
- What would you have ?
- I think I would have a red wine ! - Descartes.
.... and disappeared.
haha i see the joke there.. nice humor.
+TheMraptor I heard it this way.
Descartes was having a pint. When he finished the bar keep asked if he'd like another. "No,I think not" replied Descartes and vanished.
If the world is a dream it still exists as much as reality but we only know if anything exists if we can observe it. It doesn't matter if you think or not, anything you observe exists as information at least. It is human nature to think about anything we observe
In around fourth grade or earlier maybe, I had the idea that I know that I exist, but I didn’t know that anyone else did. It’s really cool to know that an old philosopher had the same idea, but way later in life.
