Lmfao
Phili-sophical special
@@notquiteatory971 nice
I can’t tell if he’s looking up or ahead
I just noticed this! :S
I think he's reading a promoter infront and above of him
OligarchySlayer seriously?
it's mildly infuriating.
maybe for a school project
Thank you for your excellent summary of Aristotle's views on political thought. It provides a good followup for my reread of his Politics.
This is the cutest little political philosopher I have ever seen. He seems like a good teacher.
Gay lmao

@@ayeone3870 It’s subjective, but so is everything else.
Doesn’t mean it’s not frustrating.
Thanks for making these videos. They are very informative and accessible.
10:50 I was waiting for it haha. If you actually read the entire book, he counter-argues this with validity.
I'm giving private lessons in political science, but this time I have to help someone in political philosophy, which is probably one of the hardest aspects of political science. So you can help me a great deal to help others pass an exam that is just batshit crazy hard, especially here in Germany where professors don't get paid more if they do good lectures. They use what they publish as a peer, which has extraordinarily complicated phrases, doesn't explain much well, summarizes nothing, and honestly just assume that everyone can invest more than 200 hours into one seminar that is just one of 6 in one semester.
When I had political philosophy in the first year, I failed the first time and then only barely passed. In our case, we didn't even have a matching lecture or any secondary curriculum. We got a lecture that had nothing to do with our exam and then we had some texts that were hard to understand and devoid of any context. It was the hardest exam I ever had during my entire studies (and I'm a graduate student now).
Without this bad exam I would have very good marks. They destroyed my record with that.
I'm not going to permit this from happening to my student who is a foreign student at that.
So thanks for doing this series. It's simple, summarizes points well and doesn't use unneccessarily complicated double or triple sentences.
that is why i hated school... now that im done with that nonsense i can actually enjoy learning about these topics
Personally I think there is alot of anecdotal evidence that Aristotle's teachings did heavily impact Alexander, and the man he would become. For e.g, when Alexander began his conquests throughout Asia minor, he let customs remain relatively unchanged, and even appointed local Persian satraps over his own Macedonian men, much to the disgruntlement of his kinsman. He knew that to blend his new conquered lands with his own kingdom, he would need to combine the cultures. This required a great amount of emotional intelligence, and I would say that a lot of that can be attributed to Aristotle's teachings. As well, Alexander is remarked to have said "I owe my father for living, and my teacher, for living well."
I love it. Thank you.
This really helped me a lot. Thank you so much!
I have a Poly Philosophy exam tomorrow and had to learn with english videos. I'm spanish, its better than any other materials out there
This video got me a 100 in an exam, thank you PolySci Nick Foles
nice. i’m watching it now, i got an exam on tuesday
@@daltonjwelch7725 how did it go😅
Such precise and holiatic presentation.. wonderful.
Thank you for this!
Good video, thank you!
Excellent video.
Me: *has less than a week to read entire Aristotle book*
Me: *watches this instead*
I’m probably going to end of having to read some of it tho
its a good read. you should
we have a graded recitation this afternoon about this topic and the republic by plato, i compared it to the readings given by our professor it is almost the same, your explanation is very detailed. thank you so much for this!
Anyone else here for their own enjoyment and not for a school assignment?
Yes and no. I enjoy this and I'm not by any means required to watch but at the same time, I'm working on an assignment based off of Aristotle's book politics so I"m watching this to get a better understanding. SO yeah I'm enjoying this overall but I'm using what I learn here for an assignment.

No
No
no kaaa
We may live in anarchy once we ALL possess Christ like virtues.
Sir, You Are Great
Very helpful! Thanks!
This was so useful
Ayy James is one of my lecturers at Exeter :)
I would like to inquire if the "History of Political Thought" playlist is based on the book "A History Of Political Theory " By George Holland Sabine.
Because the chronology of the content of the playlist shows a resemblance to the content of the book
1)The city-state
2)Political thought before Plato
1st Video Athenian Democracy | Political Philosophy
3)Plato, The Republic
4)Plato, The statements and the laws
2nd Video Plato - The Republic | Political Philosophy
5) Aristotle's Political Ideals
6) Aristotle's political Actualities
3rd video Aristotle - Politics | Political Philosophy
And much more.
I am really thankful and if you have a playlist that covers this book then feel free to suggest it to me
I often hear the thought that we don’t see evidence of Aristotle’s teaching in Alexander. That seems like a superficial view of what teaching is. Isn’t the end goal preparing the student’s mind in such a way that he can flourish as an adult? Seems to me Alexander did that.
thank you!!
“The man who is isolated, who is unable to partake in the benefits of political affiliation, or who has no need to share because he is already self-sufficient, is not a part of the polis, and must be either a beast or a god.” Can someone discuss this to me. Thank you.
if he doesnt need society to sustain himself. he may either be a beast as he doesnt want to sustain himself so hes crazy or hes a god in the respect he doesnt need anything else
Amazing vid! Please though idk if it’s just my tv but the S’s when you speak are so loud lol maybe throw on a de-Esser for the audio
it is very helpful for me to understand Aristotle. I want to add the context to the video. According to the history of western philosophy, the ideal government by Aristotle is moderate wealth which the holder of power has. The wealth is earned by virtue. Furthermore he admit the slavery system. But he deny imperilism and protest war. This is because criminal is slavery in Greece.
This guy takes the mysterious- & complex and makes it understandable. I wasted 4 yrs in a US university with arrogant, smug condescending dimwitted professors who couldn't teach an 8yr old how to tie his shoes. Here this prof explains much in a condensed awesome exposition.
well how will they charge you if they teach you the whole curriculum in 6 hours?
Thanks Nick Foles
Gloria in Excelsis Deo!
What does he says at 16:38 polity is a translation of the Greek word ____?
I can prove
Why
Political is a science with no doubt , but only if I will prove this online while everyone will be watching
I came from online school
Awesome 7:02
The problem with democracy being the many ruling in their own interest rather then the common interest, wouldn't their interest be the same as the common interest due to the common people ruling? I think he may mean everyman being out for his own interest.
Common means everyone - what is best for humans to flourish (become the most of what they are meant to be/the most virtuous). Not just the majority pursuing their own interests.
Special shoutout to FEU PolSci students 🥰🔰
Came to listen to this video to try to understand my friend’s reasoning on politics better, who is an American conservative Republican. It seems like these types like my friend really cherry pick Aristotle’s position in things, and always, the reality is much more nuanced.
You should actually read the entire book instead of watching this biased clip to fully understand Aristotle's Treatise
Can I ask? What is Aristotle's perspective view in Pol Sci? I'm sorry I really don't get it : ((
Samw here :(
Read the book you doofuses, it's bloody brilliant
@@wickandde I think online class its not that easy, especially when you're in asynchronous class.
@@eddelynrosales191 I have never taken political science, so take my opinion as worthless. Towards the end he said that Aristotle didn't believe in power ending up in the hands of one faction. So, I guess you could say that Aristotle wants to remove the incentive for power and authority to focus more on the pursuit of the common good or being more active in political community. I would argue that Aristotle is strongly against career politicians because they aren't in pursuit of the common good, just job security. Maybe this will help you
@@Red3yeGaming thank you so much❤
i still don't understand what "man is by nature is a political animal" i need help
it means that humans (mankind) have the ability to speak and reason unlike other animals. And, humans have a sense of good or evil and can reason what that means which is what "political" is defined to be in the quote
I know it's already been 2 yeara now but here it is: The term "Man is by nature a political animal" means that human beings have an innate tendency to live together in organized communities and engage in political activities. It suggests that humans naturally seek to form social groups, establish rules and governance systems, and participate in decision-making processes that affect their lives. In essence, it highlights the idea that politics and social interaction are inherent aspects of human nature.
The republic isn't so much about politics it's used as an analogy.

kim cut her off when she started talking about the CCP ahahahahahahahah
UPSC hit like.
Unfortunately, Aristotle's position in society, his wealth and privilege and his lack of self awareness of these shortcomings and blind spots led him to many errors of logic. By relying exclusively on data collected by observations gathered in the present moment, he failed to see that this data was tainted by the status quo and not on what was most virtuous, equitable, and optimal for a stable, well functioning society. This is the most charitable spin on his conclusions. It could also be the case that he consciously wished to preserve his own privileged position as well as that of his friends and patrons. In any case, he offers a good starting point even if it is very simplistic and incomplete.
Read the Discourses by Epictetus. He was a slave himself and supported Aristotle and Socratic thought
master please share your wisdom... tell us who is right and who is wrong
We face extinction due to low birth rate due to the emancipation of women. Maybe he was right.
seems like to me just another way to manipulate and take control of everything that people want all we really need in life is to find the truth and start living it just think when you hear the words rule of law what does that mean whoever rules they are the law
