[123] Sensation, Perception and Action An Evolutionary Perspective By Johannes Zanker
An introduction and summary of "Sensation, Perception and Action An Evolutionary Perspective" By Johannes Zanker 2010
With a style that is both detailed and accessible, this new text from Johannes Zanker provides students with a solid understanding of how our sensory and perceptual systems operate, and interact with a dynamic world. It not only explains the scientific mechanisms involved, but discusses the costs and benefits of these mechanisms within an evolutionary, functional framework, to encourage important questions such as: What is a given sensory mechanism needed for? What kind of problem can it solve and what are its limitations? How does the environment determine how senses operate? How does action affect and facilitate perception?
This unique, interdisciplinary framework allows students to see perceiving and acting as embedded in particular environments and directs them to think about the functional nature of these systems. The overall effect is an especially readable, authoritative text on Sensation, Perception and Action that really brings this fascinating topic to life.

[94] Nineteen Ways of Looking at Consciousness By Patrick House
I'm new to Heidegger, but this intro brings him into clarity, thank you. Heidegger's illustration of time rings true, but the category of Being...not so much. The leap from beings to Being seems to me an artificial construct, inferred from our individual experience, or phenomenology. Why is Being necessary?
100% AI generated conversations. Google Notebook LLM
Respectful, this is one of the most illogical dialogue I’ve ever heard. It’s painful to listen to. It’s like a schizophrenic conversation where a person is making statement and then immediately contradicting themselves, while responding to the contradict with an “oh, yeah. That’s interesting.” Scrambling for a way to sidestep the obvious, these type of conversations have stepped outside of reality.
Best channel.
One of the best explanations of Kant I’ve found here
So obnoxious to listen to people who sound like AI. I will report this as AI generated.
This sounds like AI speaking right?
Now I REALLY want to know who the humans behind this podcast are! Great choice of books to discuss! I love the idea behind your podcast. Do you write this content or do you have AI generate it?
@3:19 Not sure exactly what you're saying there, but if you're saying phenomenology IS Kant's philosophy, then I agree with you. It's a politically-motivated myth that university professors tend to support - Dr. Tom Rockmore himself (in this book) says the same thing - that somehow Husserl invented phenomenology. But, that's not true. Kant invented phenomenology.
Thanks for your interest. In fact both the script and the audio behind the podcast are Ai generated. I too am still impressed everyday by the level of this new technology
@@branchesofphilosophy You gotta be shitting me. The script is ai written? How does that work?
I would love to know who the humans behind this AI podcast are! (Btw, is this the first AI podcast ever made?) @5:16 this is one of the most accurate descriptions of Kant's understanding of human experience I've found on TH-cam. I like that a lot! One suggestion you may find helpful is to be very precise which word you're using when you use the word "object" as opposed to "thing." In this particular example, the =x is the piece that doesn't change. In other words, be objectivation reveals objects appresently, so it'd be more accurate to say that "objects" do change, but that "things" don't. (As long as we're in the context of describing Kant's understanding of human experience.) Ironically, when the one AI says "precisely," @5:30, it's not precisely. They have shifted the conversation to "perception," but experience is deeper and wider than perception. Post-Humanism is here... I'm convinced of it.

Imaginations role in perception is from Aristotle
How would I really know if I am listening to AI, or to two educated humans discussing vat brains? Is my subjectivity, experiencing the the lecture, itself an instance of being a vat brain?
But Mr. AI, you cannot experience walking down the street feeling the wind on your face. Am I to deduce you cannot understand the world, until perhaps some robot's sensory hardware and software can duplicate a humans...? And how foolish am I in pretending to talk to Mr. AI, when in reality....I am talking to myself!
Thanks for bringing up a podcast about philosophy of the mind. But I always believed that the driver example was more associated with Rosenthal and higher order representation theories then with Tye and first order theories. If you notice that change in yourself when you drive for a long while on autopilot then you realize what you doing, it means there are two ways of being conscious, creature conscious and state conscious, as Rosenthal put it. I guess it can be used for Tye, but i feel the example is more revealing of the subjective experience that there is a need for a higher order thought to be conscious.
Really good job. It could have been useful, however, to make some distinctions clear from the start. E.g. sensory vs. intellectual knowledge, phenomenon vs. things-in-themselves, A vs. B edition of the KrV. And it seems you skip over the main takeaway of Heidegger's interpretation of Kant, namely, his turning a pure cognitive relationship into an existential one: die Zusammengehörigkeit von Menschen und Sein.
Thank you, please keep uploading videos am so happy to see this channel growing with this beautiful content
Thanks so much. Actually I feel so fortunate to have found this amazing resource and am glad to share this content with others
@@branchesofphilosophy thank ,yes indeed I myself see this resource like miracles and your channel is like a rare diamond 💎
4:58 Space and time are not categories in Kant but pure intuitions. Better use here the more encompassing expression "a priori forms".
Have searched for a summary of D&R, and yours is actually the clearest and simplest to understand. But 1 thing disturbs me. In your description, you write that it is AI generated. Do you mean that the entire video is AI generated, which does not seem to be the case, since the voices don't sound machine like at all. Or do you mean the text? Because if it is the text, then AI seems to be better at explaining than actual human beings [from the other channels]. Hope you can clarify which part is AI. Cheers.
Thanks for your thoughtful question. In fact the audio and the script is both generated by Ai. I agree that the voices do sound quit life like. I'm glad to hear that you're impressed by the summary as D&R is a notoriously difficult text.
@@branchesofphilosophy and i am worried for the human race because the AI actually outperformed them explaining D&R
The singularity
I know I'm listening to AI and I'm totally cool with it. This is a great breakdown of Corbalis.
is this googles AI podcast, sounds like it, heard it elsewhere in another podcast. I do admit it seems to work well. However the giveaway is not seeing the two people doing the chat. Tho Im sure they are even working on software to create the artificial images. Personally This would work good in robots I think, it would allow the robots to be more engaging with the people over some discussion or brainstorming, anyway just saying.
Is this real people talking? It sounds like AI voice reading a script.
Fantastic presentation.
I think it's more productive to think of abstractions ( and memory ) as enablers for our intentions to live through time. Concepts are universals and evolution's way for us humans to function and survive.
Very good account…time should be viewed as a necessary framework not absolute outside our experience.His overall transcendental deduction presupposes an analyst with minimal capacity to conduct the enquiry. Like Plato’s third man argument…. Very difficult to validate a system without viewing it from outside that system or presupposing some features of said system. Good work!
Is the content AI generated?
Yes, please see channel description
I protended I would enjoy this episode
Obnoxious AI
Nice, I'd definitely read it, but unfortunately it's an ''academic book'', so it's price is way above what the orindary person can afford to read it.
What book are you referring to?
@@pinecone421 The one discussed and reviewed in this video and the title, ''Phenomenological Interpretation of Kant's Critique of Pure Reason By Martin Heidegger'', it costs 100 - 150 AUs dollars, or 66 - 100 US dollars, I asked the publisher why and she said; ''We have no control over how academic works are valued compared to other works, but this is our best deal for this item as of now, unfortunately. Our pricing is determined by a variety of factors and can change over time. Our products, including this one, come from various suppliers as well, and prices can fluctuate accordingly. This occasionally necessitates an adjustment in our selling price.'' Therefore, it seems, academic suppliers are charging a king's ransom price for their books compared to non-academic retailers, despite the deceased, and long public, nature of the original intellectual's content of thought. . . The question I asked that publishing agent lady, was regarding the book ''Theory and History of Literature: Holderlin, Hegel, Heidegger by Andrzej Warmins'', that was priced at 138AU / 92 US dollars. . . It's not available in the public libraries either, which is a darn shame because it sounds rather interesting.

Not ther smartest conversation I have heard.
These two have an artificial, staged, and unnatural way to interact that is, in lack of a worse name, terrible! And all these nonsense talk: ok, sure, yeah, hm… whenever one ends a short sentence, man, that’s infuriating (and sometimes comical).
this surely is an AI-generated thing. Also what human has ever said that Heidegger had a way of 'making things click'! Rofl...what a scream!
It's an AI remix of the Overthink Podcast.
We have 6 senses we have another common sense.of we don't have that we never know what is reality.
Imagine having x ray eyes like a superman or have the ability to fly the same speed as light. We not built for that , therefore evolution what way is it developing ??.
They say that the Greek language has a word for everything. Hebrew is totally different very little letters yet we don't understand that Hebrew use concrete terms not abstract ideas. A fly eyes are not like ours, imagine having such eyes we go mad.
Good voices and points but sounds choreographed
It's AI generated. Says so in the channel description. I heard recently there's a new ai model that can generate entire podcasts
@davve346 🤯
I enjoy your podcast very much. There's a fine balance between doing philosophy and being a cartoon. It seems to me the likely viewers of your videos are not so ignorant as to not know the basic ideas of a particular philosopher. So you've got at least 80% cartooning -- it's a good script -- and very little philosophy that hit home. It's like when a hamburger is made mostly of sawdust. I enjoy your podcast very much. I might advise you to do more philosophy and be less of a cartoon. Keep up the good work. Whomever your viewers are, I think they like what you're doing. But those of us who are not basically total beginners want more philosophy. *Throws two cents into a bucket*

AI Podcast alert!!
The part on consciousness was interesting, but it is quite surprising that in 2014, with all the published psychological and neuroscientific evidence against it someone would still argue for the Whorfian hypothesis in summer form.. 🤷
The concept of "actuality" is central to Honderich’s theory and requires careful consideration. Understanding this concept is crucial for grasping how the author sees language as contributing to our understanding of consciousness. Ultimately he concludes that lingualism does not adequately explain the difference between conscious and linguistic representations. He suggests that while lingualism avoids some of the problems of other representation-based theories, it fails to account for the "actuality" of conscious thoughts, making them seem no different than marks on a page.
To the person behind this channel, thank you for the effort put into making this ai shorts. They have a great utility to me To everyone else, I encourage you to treat those summaries as trailer for reading the actual books if you find them interesting. AI is not a substitute for personal engagement.
