Thank you! I have an exam tommorow and I didn't have time to read the whole dialog, but with you I feel so prepared! The best thing about these 18 minutes is, that I actually understand what you were saying, not like from other college profesors. A huge thank you!
Ma'am you just saved me from having to buy the books for this class. You also explain things in such a way that is fun and understandable. So thank you for your work.
I absolutely love it! So much fun, yet so complete. As a programmer I am in a constant need for words. Nouns in the first place. Words for attributes, words for state. Verbs. Words for collections (of nouns, usually), words for collections of collections etc. Without going overboard I often choose words like Garden (Noun), Tree (Collection), Apple (Noun. Many apples on a tree) to construct program logic around well-known stories, to guide the mind (so to speak). I would be wonderful if you could suggest words from (greek, Plato) philosopy to expand on the usual (and useful) concepts Soul, Body, Mind, Life, Hand etc. Greek soundiing words. Eventually I will hack them together to USSR-like concepts like PsyKos, Doksa and Tekne, but I am in need of guidance. The show is marvellous, deep and funny. Who could ask for more? Happy New Year!
Bra, payche=Greek, techne=Greek, doksa? Not sure but pretty sure it’s Greek. You Russian barbarians got educated and civilized by the Greeks, that’s why your alphabet is based on a Greek one and a bunch of your vocabulary is Greek
I am looking forward to being a psychiatrist, your videos are quite delightful for connecting mental issues as a synergistical effect with the therapeutics of psychopharmacology. I am your fan
Found this through reading, “How to Die”, a collection of Seneca’s writings about death and suicide. A good 100 page read for anyone interested. I do not recommend this for anyone having suicidal thoughts.
At 4:05 when you said moment instead of person it opened an understanding for me. What is a person other than a moment, much like a rainstorm, or a patch of sun. Existing for a moment, exerting their will on the world, until the moment is over. Huh…
i love your videos. Do you have any of Meno, The Republic 1-5, Allegory of the Cave and Symposium? I suppose i can just go directly to your channel, I would love these explained
We currently don’t have Meno, unfortunately! When figuring out which of Plato’s texts to include in the series, Meno didn’t seem like one people wanted to see 😖 But if you’d be interested in watching a little summary video on the text, we’d love to make one and have been waiting for an excuse to!!! 😂
@@MoAnInc yes please! It would really help me out... I’m having to take intro to philosophy virtually and the experience is more challenging than I thought. However your videos are so fun and I love how well you know your stuff. Your personality is amazing
GJ! Your missing the most important part to the Phaedo though. Not your fault most philosophers miss it. Everyone reads it and it just goes right over thier heads. As it just doesn't register at first. Honestly it took me years of reading Plato on & off. Before it dawned on me what I was missing You don't see it until you've read Phaedo at least 4 or 5 times. But when you do???? 😳🤯💥 It's the key to Plato/Socrates's entire philosophy. Theory of the Forms. Knowledge as Recollection. Immortality of the Soul. The One Over Many. (Or if you're an American E Plubris Unum. From Many One. The "Opposite" of One over the Many ) What else? 🤔 Oh well shit. Basically everything Plato writes about. Why? Well Plato thinks in at a minimum in 3s or Tripartite ideas. Sometimes he'll go to 4. Even 5. But at a minimum all of his ideas have to be explainable with at least 3 premises. Why? Because Plato is using Thales Proportionally Theorm as his system of logic. Which is that if you divide a circle with a line ending at 2 points on the oppisite ends of the circle. Any two lines drawn to a 3rd point on the circle from the two OPPISITE POINTS will form a Right Angle Triangle. Ergo a an "argument" based on Correct Reason. Plato's student Aristotle would later go onto to call this the "syllogism." Another one of Plato's pupils. A guy by the name of Euclid. (may have heard of him) Would go onto write Elements. Thales Porportionality Theorm. That is what Plato is using as his logic. Parts or whole aspects of it. Show up in Meno, Republic, and Timaeus. A rule of thumb to always follow when reading Plato. When ever Plato says anything that has to do with any kind of arithmetic or geometry? He's about to drop the hammer on yo ass. 😆 Plato always uses math. Whenever he's about to get serious. So what important math point does Plato bring up in Phaedo? Why is it the key to understanding Plato and Socrates philosophy? And what does it have to do with Thales Proportionally Theorm or geometry in general? Well you see. There's ONE super duper ultra important concept. In fact? Speaking of geometry. You can't even do that without understanding this point. Which is explained in Phaedo 74 a-e And that is? Drum roll...... The Idea of.... EQUAL or "=" Go back and read Phaedo 74's. Everything will all make complete sense. It will literally break your mind. That you read it several times before. But never saw it! 🤣
I'm reading the book in college and this just saved me hours of re-reading it! Appreciate you so much!!
❤️
Re-reading one text is always more revealing than reading many books
@@GbrElfunkis this an original quote?
@@leo32190 nope, but it was a common theme in philosophy school

So glad this helped you!!! Good luck on your exam tomorrow - you’ll crush it! ❤️
I‘m a Philosophy major and you really saved me from the midterm lol, thanks a lot!
🫶🏼🤓

Thank you for watching! But also - the book’s really good, I promise! Worth the purchase and the read!! ❤️
You just made life so much easier, thank you. loved how you keep it real.
Glad to be of service 😇
This helped me understand my philosophy class so much better!!!
Very happy to hear this!!!! 🫶🏼
Thank you! I had such a hard time understanding the text but this helped me understand it a bunch more!!
❤️
I just finished Last Days of Socrates so it is nice to see an analysis of Phaedo
I'm having a test in that same book, the video has really helped me to get the concept of it. I appreciate
Good luck on the test!! ❤️
Thank you for the video!
You are so welcome 🫶🏼
Love the breakdown! I had to read the original Apology and Phaedo in Greek and this helps the understanding!
☺️❤️

Thank you so much for your suggestion! We'll most certainly be factoring it into our plans for the videos in 2021 :) Happy new year!

Great video thank you for the concise explanations
💖
I was shocked when I heard Socrates chose poison over a reward, that's a wild decision!

Professor Romm edited and translated this wonderful book! I interviewed him on the channel for his other study, The Sacred Band :)
Cheers for this, I just read this, and when Opposites and the Ideas got invoked simultaneously my hair started smoking.
Thanks for watching :)
Life saver! Actually explaining it in a way I understand, ty!
Haha thank you for watching! ❤️
I love your videos. You have really done a great work.
Thank you 🥺
Your a star! Thank you for these videos!!

This just saved me! It’s 10pm and I have an assignment due at 12 and I didn’t read Phaedo ooop
As much as I love that this video helped you - please, please, PLEASE go read the text, too!!! It’s really wonderful, I promise! ❤️
This is amazing 👏👏👏
Thank you so much!!!! ❤️

Thank you so much 🥺 we’ll be sure to get on planning a Meno episode for you, then - and for all the other students struggling with the text, too!
You are so amazing!!!!

Thales Porportionality Theorm. That is what Plato is using as his logic. Parts or whole aspects of it. Show
up in Meno, Republic, and Timaeus.

Go back and read Phaedo 74's. Everything will all make complete sense. It will literally break your mind. That you read it several times before. But never saw it! 🤣
um it's wednesday 🤓🤓🤓
