You will be missed. Irving Singer passed away in February 2015.
Really open my mind
Such a well articulated argument. Religion never has any evidence, and always appeals to sensationalism. Completely unlike this argument.
Hey, not every professor/teacher is superb. One may even be a genius and not exactly be able to pass on the knowledge. But nonetheless it's an MIT lecture and I think we should all be grateful for OCW.
You can explain all human behavior all trough the human history by studying his fellings- love and hatred-, in other words, by studying his relations with other humans.
Given the last few comments around minute 52 or so, it is interesting that a scientist (who is to be ABLE TO RECREATE the experiment over and over with the same results EVERY TIME can be an evolutionist that can't do it at all). Meaning that you can't be a scientist and an evolutionist or a creationalist outside of faith.
Who knows about the book list?please share it to me,thanks a lot
Is this what happens when MIT trys to teach love? The guy talks about himself for 20 or 30 minutes. After that I had to turn it off. I am so glad I never went to MIT...well to learn about love that is. Professor Lewin on the other hand rocks.
I guess it would be like going to China to get good Italian food.
Great lecture.
Where does the actually lecture start?
I have a great thing to contemplate for the philosopher--What is the difference between the absolute truth and relativism? And....if you can define it does absolute truth exist?
yes. relativism is a contradiction: if the sentence "all truth is relative" is absolutely true then it refutes itself. all iterations of that sentence are contradictory. Whats more is that i can provide many absolute truths. The sentence "I am discussing truth with you" is absolutely true. The existence of the sun is absolutely true. Logic exists. Many things in life are self evident, like Death, math, existence, Beauty, etc. I believe all of the universal higher concepts: Logic/Reason, Math, Beauty, Truth, Love, Justice (capital letters intended here) are self evident. I may have forgotten some of the higher truths please forgive me, i also believe God to be one of them but i will leave Him out of the conversation even though He is tied so closely to Truth. Absolute Truth's existence can be proven by all conventional means: logical reasoning, math, basic philosophy, and since almost every concept-higher or lower-depends on it proving nigh anything true confirms Absolute Truth's existence. It is also not disprovable by Science, Logic, Math, nor advanced philosophy. My proposition is thus: the higher concept of Truth asserts that there is a singular, absolute(unopposable), clear(though not always obvious), and all encompassing standard of what factually exists.
as i believe it lends strength to the argument of Truth, i will add more of the higher inhuman concepts as i bother to write them down upon remembrance. To be clear what i mean, i am referring to the absolutes of life that mankind discovered and are nonphysical laws of the universe created same as the rest of the invisible and visible world. Wisdom and Art.
i dont believe time to be one of them, but you may come to your own conclusion
@@sam1898Just here to say, your time and words were not wasted. Thank you for sharing, that was well put. I do think its considerably worrisome that we as a race can still blur the lines between absolute truth and relativism. With how our society is structured, especially in the current era I can understand why it's questioned.
@TDP788 I can tell you, being a lecturer myself, and having sat through some years of university "The PhD syndrome" as we call it - is a hold over usually done by terrible professors. Now why don't you go listen to Joe Rogan talk about something he has no clue about. Cheers!
He's dead. Too bad, I'm interested why he chooses compassion and justice in his wording. I review it as justice and mercy. He ties it to ethics. I've been thinking of it as policy.
As a philosopher....you will find that ALL philosophy is built upon/around generalized 5 tiers. It will help to understand many things in life--they are 1. Resources 2. Relationships 3. Resistance, 4. Reward 5. Revelation of choice and 6. Recycle 1-6. Almost all human endeavors revolve in this manner of sorts or cumquat's. As you can see very subjective and relativistic. There is no absolute truth in philosophy. It is < truth which = a lie of some sort.
what is the name of instructor?
@livewire891 SirWinstonChurchill's statement is nonsense which shows a profound misunderstanding of the process of evolution. Whether a behaviour, X, "leads to human evolution" is simply not a valid concept. [S]he probably intended to use the anti-gay line that it doesn't lead to reproductive success, which is also not true, but is at least a statement which is logically coherent.
is the Profesor in this Video Still Alive..??
love= myth = god
@ktblooz love=truth=life
love = truth = god

Gay marriage is a contradiction in terms. It's like a square circle
Must be not for just to exist! MIT did false-start with attempt to do their work on camera. In each subject man with big head speaks about easy things, claiming it as difficult, that will course us to think. Smells like they've got all they want, just formal talk.
He just talks about himself! unimpressed
right he seems quite ego driven...
The sounds he makes with his mouth in between words (and sometimes with his words) are disgusting.
