That's a refreshing lecture. A philosopher talking about emotions rather than reason. We need more of these as some sort of damage control preventing psychologists from brainwashing everyone...
Good lecture and there were some really good nuggets. I agree we essentially "create" emotion by creating and building up beliefs (projection). However there are some universal and basic emotions and they are universally manifested the same way -- it's not just a cultural phenomenon or a learned response. For example sadness as a result of loss, especially deep loss.
@@Brooder85 Unfortunately imho, most people are conformists and do not even realise they were conditioned into narcissism. Krishnamurti spoke out against treating philosophy as entertainment.
Mr. Solomon keeps on contradicting himself, btw. during this lecture in order to state his own paradigm, but hey- we're 50 years on the product of your inconsistencies, thanks for nothing!
and maybe it's purpose is just to make you think critically.. realizing that you find contradictions in his premises, in itself it already served its purpose.

love it... i recently finished listening to the 24-lecture series on Nietzsche by Robert Solomon and Kathleen Higgins... that was excellent as well.

My thoughts exactly. I think he overreached a bit.
Thank you!
His later nietzsche lectures were very very good!
indeed!

"EMOTIONS ARE THE MOST DUARBLE THINGS IN OUR LIVES"
What a mighty upperlip!
Nice
The people laughing couldn't possibly have understood anything he was trying to convey.
Agree. A laughing audience during a serious lecture is a sign that the listeners are simple minded.

Indeed. There is nothing I hate more.
@@TokyoShemp that sounds like something a conformist would say
@@Brooder85 no. Lector is making jokes here and there, audience should stay silent? You are probably ashamed by your laugh, but that's your problem

And where exactly are these contradictions that you speak of?
What contradictions?
As to your comment, “thanks for nothing!”
and maybe it's purpose is just to make you think critically.. realizing that you find contradictions in his premises, in itself it already served its purpose.
Yeah, right. So, could your comment include at least one of the contradictions?
