Who is the marginal nobody? To pretend Western Europe didn’t do something unique (and uniquely bad in many ways) in the 16th to 18th centuries is just absurd. This nonsense might have seemed interesting 30 to 50 years ago. But with so much riding on the outcome now to pretend Africa or Asia or Native Americans were also on a path of scientific, technological and economic development and dominance of the physical environment as well as unique power to dominate (and even destroy) each other that Western Europeans were is just irresponsible. The solution to the current global crisis isn’t going to be found in some cultural alternatives and local communities, etc. Recognizing the problem for what it is and where it came from and the ethos behind its creation is necessary for its solution. Trying to wave your hand 0:38 over western science and technology and the enlightenment and pretending that makes its unique significance go away is so irresponsible. No one says any longer that the rest of the world was in a dark age.
I would have enjoyed a presentation on mistakes of the Enlightenment. Instead I got a presentation on why wokeness is a mistake. Next time, find someone who has actually done the research, the topic is fascinating.
Is there an evidence of existance significant non-racist liberal society before enlightment europe? In other words was there a significant society which abolished slavery before Europe?
The Enlightenment is white identity politics?This is not a serious person interested in unifying political solutions, clearly; he’s more interested in lobbing rocks from over the other side of the fence of his tiny gate-kept community of specialist intellectuals. They give degrees in that now? Anti-Enlightenment studies? You’re helping the actual fascists there you know “professor”? They hate the Enlightenment and it’s universal values and egalitarianism and democracy too. I guess we wouldn’t want that getting out though would we? If anything defines “white identity politics” it’s the counter enlightenment … the philosophical movement that lead from Romanticism through parts of German idealism then up to fascism … not the Enlightenment. Be honest professor. Stop your trolling. The world’s a dangerous enough place.
Yes it is possible to analyze and appreciate text in isolation. A holistic view can only be achieved from a point of privilege. I am curious to learn how Timbuktu came to collect more books than all of Europe. Let's copy that style for this new radical change. That is a more constructive approach to a conversation about intellectual progress than the dismantling of whiteness.
I don't know if he is smarter than this, but this man can't really hide that he doesn't know how to read. Kant was spoken too many times here and I could barely find him. I think no one who understand at least the basic concepts of Kant will say you are better off not reading Kant, even someone who knows and is sensitive to the racist tenets beneath this historical period wouldn't say that.
"We just take the bits we like and leave the bits we don't like - that's not how knowledge works" Every philosophy which doesn't perfectly fit in the current moral view of our Zeitgeist (and by that he means his understanding of identity politics) should be discarded. What is this ridiculous and deeply regressive bs, haha?
Not so fast. Virtually all science today is funded by those whose interests are different from those of the scientists. The military and pharmaceuticals businesses decide which research occurs. That's how knowledge works these days.
Sorry for the confusion. I thought your comment, "should be discarded," meant something different than I thought. I didn't think the guest meant everyone whose disagrees with him is wrong, but maybe he did and I missed it. My response to you was entirely different, so the fault is mine. @@tylerdurden2577
He never said anyone had to discard whole philosophies because the contributers were racist. He said we needed to acknowledge the racist and other contexts the ideologies are borne from. He literally said he is not discouraging ones from engaging knowledge or philosophy old or new
he commits the historical fallacy when he compares figures like David Hume and Immanuel Kant to our standards of universal human rights. They sparked those humanistic values and had been the progressives of their times. The reason they were racist is because that's where the whole world was at that time. Anti-Racism is also one of the fruits of western enlightenment humanism.
If Kehinde Andrew would have lived in the 18th century he would be much more racist than David Hume or Immanuel Kant, since he obviously isn't comparably smart.
@@sophitsa79 He is reactionarily criticising away the same branch on which he is sitting on. He argues for a world in which no one is superior - exept for the western world and the enlightenment tradition which is inferior - Although this same traditon is the first one to spread the values of human equality on a large scale. - And the one he used to criticize the Enlightenment. - Leibnitz, Newton, Hume and Kant really thought about things while he is just moralising, scapegoating and reacting.
U are a fine example of the ingrained Racism he is addressing. Where did U get the idea enlightenment was the first idea to proport human equality on a large scale. Or it is the branch he rests on? U are triggered
Unserious and biased. I'm sick of marginal personalities trying to claim credit for literally nothing. I'm not sure I should continue following your podcast. I was hoping for serious scholarship.
Agreed. They can't stoop so low. This is what happens with content creators they run out of things to present and so now have to broaden the scope of what they do such as this. It's sad really.
Get gone then, if you can't entertain an idea without believing it, and clearly you aren't even attempting to refute it, then who even needs you around?
This disgusting comment on this wonderful and informing video only shows the Rot in the racist European mind instead of dealing with the hate and bigotry inherent in their hearts they resort to petty insults and gross stupidity and straghit up violent and genocidal behavior it is pathetic and sad that European thugs have been allowed to get away with this for this long but no more
All literacy and education have historical roots in economically exploitative elitism The amount of leisure time required for their acquisition practically guarantees it. Exceptions in pre-agricultural, pre-industrialized, and post-industrialized economies of course exist, but only insofar as serving to prove the rule. It is hard to find educated, literate people in any culture who don't presume some variation of moral superiority over those outside the privilege enjoyed by their own class. To not see the racist flavor of moral superiority claimed by the icons of educated western elites is neither very educated nor literate!
Hasn’t it been proven that the world was originally one land mass that broke into continents? Therefore all the first people were African. Even my ancient DNA says I have genetics shared with Kenyans and West Africans. My last 5 generations were Europeans, Latin Americans… of course Missouri used to be Mexico and Native Americans are indigenous to the USA and Canada ….. so, whatever - it doesn’t really change anything in the end does it? Like your grandma or mom probably said: it’s what’s on the inside that matters.
Kant partially caused the U.N. declaration of rights and Malcolm x refers to it. Thomas Jefferson partially caused the US Constitution and Malcolm x refers to it. This is where a contradiction lies.
Well, of course the "Frankfurt School" tries to break with exactly that ideological framework. And the school of thought by Michel Foucault's post-structuralism suggested that all thinking and emergence of ideas is based on "underlying EPISTEMEs" which means: they are products of their time. Reflection upon that is not to be confused with relativization, and the periphery of ignorance has always been attached to past endevours in epistemology - especially in retrospect. In that way, I understand the talking points of this truly enriching interview not only as an expression of todays - unfortunately very often occurring - racisms and classisms. Where I'm from, the debate is very much alive and ongoing. We tend to address the problem very much in a similar fashion: PROPAGANDA. Luckily, the counter culture - also in academic fields of expertise - has recognized the problem of propaganda and rather proactively addresses it, starting with HISTORY itself. I mean... just think of all the MEGALITHIC remnants of ancient cultures. Scientists like anthropologist and archeologist Dr. David Wengrow follow in that new tradition of thinking. And of course we mustn't forget about the science of the OCCULT, the grand field of PARA-Science, or the NEW SCIENCE RELIGION as well as all research regarding the VERY long held but unpopular theory tied to PREHISTORIC EVIDENCE of ALIEN ASTRONAUTS. What I try to pinpoint is the (yes, dualistic) conflict of main stream science & thought VS ALL THE REST. Scientific and public dialogue is often rigged...
So, @matthewablen6989 didn’t offer a thoughtful manifesto. And full disclosure, as a Heterosexual Black Liberal Progressive American I agree that these postulations are “drivel”. But as a social cultural strategical approach to your question: You “guarantee a right to prosperity” by a society not installing the impediments when that society is designing its social structures.
Has humanity yet understood the true meaning of autonomy? I don’t believe so. To me, autonomy means following our intuitive guidance. And there is an extra dimension to it. True autonomy operates from a loving place. There is a paradox here that when we exist and coexist in love, we are inclusive, accepting and collaborative. This does not create hierarchies, which I believe is our present downfall.
I wonder if any poorly educated, resentful, ideological grifters will show up trying to sound woke by supporting movements that claim to represent justice but in reality merely take what they want from others by playing the "I'm ____ oppressed group" card? 🤔
