Elizabeth Anscombe: Consequentialism
This video introduces the student to Anscombe's brand of utilitarianism, consequentialism, and explains why she rejected 'modern moral philosophy', calling instead for a return to the 'virtue ethics' of the ancient philosophers.

Philippa Foot: Morality as a System of Hypothetical Imperatives
มุมมอง 6K2 ปีที่แล้ว
This video introduces the student to a strand of Foot's thinking that opposes Kant's notion of the Categorical Imperative. We often do what we 'ought to' because we have been brought up that way - not to lie for example. Such commands may appear categorical, but someone who acts against them is not necessarily irrational. This series is developed by Liz McKinnell for Women In Parenthesis. More ...
Mary Midgley: The Problem of Evil
มุมมอง 1.7K2 ปีที่แล้ว
God does not feature prominently in Midgley’s thoughts on the problem of evil - she thinks it is more interesting to explore evil from a human perspective. But her treatment of evil feeds back into debates about how an omnibenevolent omnipotent God might permit such a thing to exist. This series is developed by Liz McKinnell for Women In Parenthesis.

Mary Midgley: Metaethics and Emotivism
มุมมอง 5813 ปีที่แล้ว
Midgley is a good philosopher to introduce when discussing the Naturalistic Fallacy and Emotivism, both of which she rejected. This series is developed by Liz McKinnell for Women In Parenthesis. More resources available at our website. www.womeninparenthesis.co.uk
Mary Midgley: Dualism and Materialism
มุมมอง 1K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Midgley is a good philosopher to discuss when teaching dualism and materialism because she is highly critical of both positions, and neither is she an idealist. This series is developed by Liz McKinnell for Women In Parenthesis. More resources available at our website. www.womeninparenthesis.co.uk
Iris Murdoch: Plato's Cave
มุมมอง 5K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Murdoch can be introduced in the context of teaching Plato. Her theory of unselfing speaks to the contemporary relevance of the metaphors Plato uses in his myth of the Cave.

Notes from a Biscuit Tin, Tokyo
มุมมอง 1423 ปีที่แล้ว
Poet Yasuhiro Yotsumoto and philosopher Istvan Zardai host a conversation for the Japan-leg of the global trip of Mary Midgley's Biscuit Tin. They discuss a number of topics connected to the central theme of ‘Instinct’ in Midgley's work including “Beast and Man” and “Science and Poetry”.
This also makes me think of the Bible. Jesus says "the eye is the lamp of the body." Perspective and how we view things is the fire in the cave
The ego doesn't mean "I" in Greek by coincidence. The very nature of ego is selfish. It is the self. Or the illusion of the self like the shadows. Murdock had two basic premises along with her argument board discussion of the cave. One of them has been we are naturally selfish.
It can also mean that we go back to our old ways of thinking, it's natural, after first getting outside. Very good video. Thank you. And I like the questions most of all
Beauty is truth, truth of beauty. Keats, ode to a Grecian Urn. Makes me think of that line in the poem
Great resource. Many thanks for this.
But nature is not just beauty?
Owen Barfield had similar experience as Murdoch had when look at beauty. He was very troubled after being in WW1 and he said it was through poetry and the effect it had on him that got him through his depression. If you like Iris Murdoch you should definitely check out Owen Barfield.
The Cave represents the material world which we take in through our five senses. When the prisoner escapes his chains and see first the light from the fire, which hurts his eyes, and the the sun light - he is experiencing the real world that world for human beings is our human consciousness. The fire is our consciousness waking up to the truth and the Sun is heaven - when we die we see the real world.
Thank you! Great explanation
Grrrrreat. Also I’d love to have Vienna circle biscuit
The narrator is really nice. Whats her name, so that i can follow more content from.her
Brilliant share. Thank you very much
Where can I find murdochs writing on the cave?
Good video
Rubbish
What difference does it make if the speaker is a woman? What matters are the arguments
Rather that the infrastructure of society has made it hard for marginalized groups, including women, to have their research both heard, and when sound, respected.
@@somethingaboutthewoods not currently. Not in the west. Modern feminist claims are based on shady arguments, with a few exceptions. Equality isn’t equity. Groups and sub groups aren’t all going to have the same proportions represented in every field. That’s ridiculous
@@somethingaboutthewoods women are not a marginalized group in the west. Disparity isn’t automatically bigotry. In fact, the pendulum has swung so far in the other direction, but most students of intersectional studies don’t know anything about real life examples contrary to their narrative. Again, in the west
@@somethingaboutthewoods I’m with Christina Hoff Sommers, Thomas Sowell etc on this
Àa 🤳🤳
In which way does Moore's Naturalistic Fallacy differ from Hume's Is-Ought distinction?
thank you
(My Ode to Plato) What's more real? The form of the cup or the cup? I can clasp my hands & form the cup without the cup & make millions of cups from the form of the cup. The cup is just a cup.. So what's more real for real? The form of the cup or the cup? The reality of reality has no formality. The figures in the cave, are the pictures people paint of their intentions, later reveled by their actions.
This is a great video, you made it so easy to understand
The Benthamites in the US medical establishment have tortured children -- ie male infants -- with genital mutilation for over a hundred years, with the idea that it brought about a good consequence: ie it prevented masturbation and hence insanity, as well as cervical cancer in promiscuous women, and then HIV infection. So yes Benthamites will indeed do that. [the vast majority of US feminists have heartily approved, btw LOL Ask Martha Nussbaum. She has said she thinks it's perfectly fine. LOL
Or, are you torturing numerous people by inflicting higher rates of sexually transmitted infections (some fatal) on them for sake of your sexual epicureanism?
So so helpful, thank you!
It is criminal this doesn’t have more views, beautiful exposition.
