These videos have been CRAZY helpful. You've seriously opened up a world for me (heh heh). Thank you for taking the time and effort to create these lectures on this platform (free and easily accessible). I've been binging.
I've never heard of anyone binging on philosophy videos before, but I like it! Thanks for the comment. It really is great to hear people getting something out of these videos.
@@daseijasystem5566 Thanks for the interest! The only other place I regularly upload material to is my blog, which you can find through my website: absurdbeing.com You might find some articles that are of interest there, and you're more than welcome to add any thoughts or comments you have on any of the topics.
Thank you for these lectures. When I got to this chapter, I ran into trouble when it got to the case of Schneider; I always find those case studies of his to be the most difficult parts to bushwack through.
@@absurdbeing2219 At least it's not as bad as the Critique of Pure Reason (omg, compared to Ponty so far, that was a torture to try and make sense out of!). Due to the coronavirus I have way too much time on my hands, so I've taken up the project of reading several core existential-phenomenological texts by the end of the summer. I hope to finish this, Being and Nothingness and Gadamer's Truth and method-- my practical reasons being that I want to practice psychotherapy with an existential orientation in the future. -I'm finding your lectures to be articulate and helpful, so I'm gonna keep following. Thanks again.
@@TheOHenry666 You're welcome, and thanks for the compliments. It's always great to hear from people who like these videos (it makes the hours that go into them worthwhile). It's interesting to hear your career plans. I've run across a couple of other existential psychotherapists on here as well. Funny you mention Kant's first Critique, as I'm bushwacking my way through that at the moment. I've got a small philosophy website that is missing a Kant page, and well, a philosophy site without a Kant page isn't really a philosophy site at all.
Hey! Thanks for this playlist :) I have an exam about MP coming up in the next few days and I'm integrating my studies with these videos (while doing chores ect), they're really well done! Thank you! And good job
Thanks for the videos they are wonderful! The notion of motricity and the example of the drums really has me thinking about a term in sports I encountered while growing called muscle memory! If I am not mistaken that seems like the same idea.
Thanks a lot, Maddie! Yes, exactly. Muscle memory is a good way of thinking about it. Motricity is like a kind of muscle memory we acquire that doesn't just establish a specific habit, but more generally orients us towards the world as a whole.
I cannot begin to tell you how helpful these lectures have been for me. I'm busy writing my Masters Dissertation and am using a lot of Merleau-Ponty's theory for my argument. You really have helped me read and properly understand Phenomenology of Perception - I have also cited your videos as a consulted source for my research. Thank you!!
I'm not normally one to comment but I just want to express my gratitude for your work in doing a close reading of MP. I'm currently studying psychotherapy and MP seems to play a pretty central role in preparing us philosophically for practice. As a long time practitioner of embodiment (yoga, martial arts, dance... all kinds of movement) I really appreciate MP's contribution to critiquing the intellectual and empirical perspectives. Some might go so far as to say that talking about embodiment isn't embodiment... and I would partially agree. Reading MP is a difficult undertaking and has required me to be sedentary for long periods of time. However, the organisation of mind that emerges as you read through PoP is a kind of movement. We're not purely concrete creatures, we're also abstract and move in imaginary space. Pure intellectualism has some merit in that it was heading in the right direction but just went a little too far! Thank you!
Well, thanks for changing your norms and commenting here. Yes, MP traces a nice middle path between those perspectives, doesn't he. Definitely one of the most difficult reads I've undertaken, but well worth the effort.

This chapter is so good that you end up highlighting the whole chapter.
Tell me about it. The challenge is finding things I can leave out of these videos!

I just can't get enough of these videos I guess! Are there any other platforms where I can access / support your work?

Haha - That's a good description of parts of PoP: 'bushwacking.' I also found that his case studies required multiple readings.

Awesome! Thanks for leaving a comment. Great to hear these videos help a little. Good luck with the exam!
These videos are incredibly helpful, thank you

I'm so pleased my videos helped in some small way. Thanks for leaving a comment, and for citing me! Good luck with your future studies.
