    I have a philosophy masters degree, and this was a really elegant summary 👌
    It's not often that scientists are so fair to philosophy as a subject, I've heard many brilliant scientists talk about philosophy being redundant, e.g. now that we have model dependent realism and advanced neuroscience etc.
    When anyone claims that philosophy is dead, that's the most important time to talk about it.

    As an philosophy student myself (third semester) I find it very cool that you're making a video about philosophy. An as far as the connection of logic and philosophy goes, you''re right, logic is one of the basic and mandatory courses, that one should do in the first semesters, the first ideally, in my university at least. I'm from germany. So it may be different in other countries and universities but yeah. It's an important thing in all of philosophy. Great video as always. Greetings from germany!

      @bsadewitz 2 роки тому +2

      I think it is different in the US. I never graduated, but I have taken numerous major-specific courses (perhaps most of them, I cannot even remember exactly) for a major in philosophy. IMHO it's more important to at least take introductory courses in e.g. epistemology and ethics/value theory. I am thinking of "logic" as a course in symbolic logic, though. You might mean something else.

    • @bsadewitz
      @bsadewitz 2 роки тому +1

      Well, for the second semester, it's fine. But I really think intro epistemology and metaphysics are even more fundamental, or at least as important. Ethics and value theory are also right up there. My rationale is that in such intro courses, they tend to include enough logic in the course itself.

    • @DasBesserLetsPlay

      @@bsadewitz with the way my curriculum works, you have to work im modules. The first one teaching you with introduction courses, where you'll learn research fundementals, get an introduction to philososophy in genereal and theres also a course dedicated specifically to logic. Second module requires you to learn about an ancient philosophical text and one modern and so on. But you're not forced to complete one module after the other. U can have a course of the sixth module in second semester for example. But i do agree with you on epistemology and metaphysics. Both are very important

    3:54 So how to think? I think I found Prof Burton's favorite one!
    To explain: He was a professor at Purdue who taught tech students something far more useful than computer-based skills: he taught us how to think critically about our knowledge. Aka: How do you know that you know that? "What is your source? How does it prove that?" Words we heard so often that we wanted to beat our heads on our desks. But it was good times & good for us. Probably the most widely applicable thing I learned while getting my degree.

    The Hindi audio is almost perfectly translated,but i think some other people may find the vocabulary a little bit difficult. We can compare this to the vocabulary of an elite class british person. I think the problem is not the translator but the problem is the subject (philosophy).
    People find the Hindi vocabulary hard because they use many english words in their day to day conversation so they actually don't know the Hindi words.
    You should continue like this.
    I'm pretty sure that all other Indian viewers will also like it.

    Professor Dave: Your lectures are indicative of a profound love of knowledge and a need to share it with others. Our country is fractured/infected by abyssmal ignorance of critical thinking, anti intellectualism, and forming respectful cohesive debating/argument strategies to advocate for one's views. If you have not done so already, might I suggest (1) series on communicating with adversaries; (2) series on essential citizen knowledge to ensure our great Republic and its Constitution survives . As I see it most parts are already covered in your discipline based videos. In my youth, I viewed philosophy, history and civics/political science as elective curriculum "filler". courses instead of critical means for saving our Republic .

  • @ozymandiasultor9480
    @ozymandiasultor9480 2 роки тому +3

    After studying philosophy and logic for 6 years I think that the safest and best definition for beginning is that philosophy is the study of ideas. Philosophy is not science, because every science has to have axiomatic foundations, for instance, math...Point is not defined in math, if one tries to define it with an analytical definition that person will need "genus proximum" and "differentia specifica" and that genus proximum will have to be defined and that will go to infinity. Philosophy always starts from scratch, there are no fixed axiomatic preferential points, and that is why for example Eugen Fink in his "Introduction in Philosophy" claims that philosophy is not a science. Of course, logic is part of philosophy, at least my professors were teaching me that it is a philosophical discipline, so logic and math are considered as "organon", tools that sciences are using.

    This was a well thought out introduction. The big bang model, evolution, abiogenesis. These theories attempt to describe how life emerges from a chaotic system of particle interactions driven by fundamental forces. I ask you at what point did the chaotic system determine anything to be useful? Life evolved out of chaos right? So what I am asking is at what point did this chaotic system determine anything to be useful? The moment you acknowledge that it has deemed something useful you already left the notion of chaos behind entirely because what appeared chaotic truly had a purpose and intention behind it.
    You know how people create simulations on computers which simulate evolution in a simplistic form? The "simplistic" is an illogical position because the system which is producing that simple simulation is quite sophisticated in terms of the programming and software/hardware that goes into driving that simplistic evolution. So what appears random and chaotic isn't actually random and chaotic. What seems simplistic is actually quite sophisticated and hands on because we programmed and constructed the physical hardware and software for that simulation to be taking place, none of which are simplistic and that is without touching on the power supplied to operate the system. So although it's simple to create such a simulation in reality it's not as simplistic as one would lead you to conclude.

    I'm always a little saddened when people dismiss philosophy as something that isn't or cannot be very rigorous. Several science educators have contributed to this notion, with some openly invalidating the usefulness of philosophy. Neil DeGrasse Tyson and Bill Nye are two such educators, whose views on philosophy I find... puzzling to say the least.
    I'm glad to see this introduction mentions there's so much more to philosophy than just asking if you can clap with one hand.

      And second question is that since friction is component of contact force, and since one of the components of contact force I.e., normal force is repulsive, shouldn't friction also be due to repusive intermolecular forces and not attractive

    Sorry if it was said in the video and I missed it but will you be including eastern philosophy and philosophers like Chinese and Japanese? I feel they are often left out or only briefly mentioned when discussing philosophy and most people just teach as if western philosophy is all of philosophy.

    Physics & molecular biology tell us our origins while religion is absent of a methodology from proteins & 20 amino acids, too DNA helix, to single cell organisms..sorry Dr, your the teacher, I will sit down
    But before I sit, the sciences weren't born in Greece, so can we get into what Leslie Orgel named "the origins of life..." next?

One question though, why did you decide to define philosophy as "love of knowledge" instead of "love of wisdom?" it's not philgnosiphy after all.

    What I find interesting is the history of mechanical philosophy and I guess how it sort of mixed with spiritualism. The rather strange idea that our minds is a machine, but not the world. I remember watching a lecture maybe about Galileo, it came up that Isaac Newton might not purely have been a materialist. I read in wiki articles today that he might have thought the universe was not purely mechanistic, but somehow also "populated by mysterious forces and spirits and constantly sustained by God and angels." I heard he could have gotten killed for not being able to define matter, mixing the material and spiritual world. I have a limited comprehension of matter and even how much of that (if any) is true, but perhaps Professor Dave knows?

    Thanks, Dave, for your wonderful work.
    Can I make a recommendation?
    Are you aware of Mario Bunge's work?
    If not, please, I urge you to read Chasing Reality. This book contains an excelñent summary of most of the views of this scientific philosopher.
    As formerly dedicated to physics (he's a physicist), he spent most of his life to build a system of philosophy informed, founded and restricted by scientific knowledge; a system consisting of semantics, ontology, epistemology, methodology, axiology, ethics and praxiology.
    He sees philosophy not as opposing nor as an alternative to science; instead, philosophy is a conceptual and theoretical activity that studies (analyses, criticizes, propose, etc.) the most general concepts (such as those of thing, property, system, theory, mind, life, society, good, and so on) and hypothesis (such as the existence of an external world or the idea that nothing come from nothing). The products of philosophy are build by studing scientific knowledge and the actual practice of science: philosphical concepts, hypothesis, arguments and theories should be consistent with scientific knowledge, and to do so, the philosopher has to be informed on the state-of-the-art of the scientific disciplines relevant to his own philosophical research.
    At the samd time, science should be informed about philosophy (specially about science-informed philosophy) in order to be aware of the philosophical assumptions underlying scientific theories and practice. When the scientist is not aware of the philosphical elements of science, it become likely that his theories will be founded on some questionable or unreasonable assumption (for instance, that the state of a quantum object depends on a conscious observer).
    I hope you could take a look at his work and views.
    Kind regards!
