I have no idea if anyone still reads these comments as the video is from 2013, however, I have to disagree with the idea that Empedocles violated Parmenides doctrine. Empedoclese argues that all combinations of matter are conceived of four elements, and said elements are in all things. That being said, every single thing we can see, say a pen, is made of elements that have the potential to be a pen while also simultaneously having the potential to be a dog. The argument is not that from the four elements a bone came into existence, but that the four elements always have had a potential to be a bone, and through the influence of love and strife have organized to model such.
The word barbarian comes from the sound "bar-bar-bar" that foreign languages had for the Greeks. They did consider their civilisation superior to others, but certainly did not consider others less than human. They had extensive commercial and cultural exchanges with their neighbours since Minoan/Mycenaean times. Naucratis, for example, founded in the 7th century BCE, was "a permanent Greek colony in Egypt; a symbiotic nexus for the interchange of Greek and Egyptian art and culture" (wiki). Pythagoras, Herodotus, Pausanias, Strabo and others traveled a lot to study foreign cultures...
Also Celtic intellectuals went to teach in Greece, like in Delphos (they would be like academics of today). The Druid's were also philosophers, scientist's, not only priests. So the Greeks were certainly familiar and had contact with Celtic people's (one of the oldest Indo - European cultures in Europe alongside the Greeks themselves). The Celts just didn't leave written history but they were an advanced culture as well, they predate the Romans too like the Greeks And the Greek region of Anatolia was also inhabited by Gaulish people's and called Galatia in antiquity
The pre-Socratic philosophers are mind-blowing. I believe they deeply influenced ancient religions and philosophies of the Chinese (polarities (yin and yang), heat and warm in medicine), Indian (uncreated, unborn One, atoms), Christianity. Some of it must have happened before Alexandra the Great. How?
I'd have to disagree with you on that. While there are similarities with that of the pre-Socratics and Eastern philosophers, it's more likely that they were the result of similar observations rather than direct influence.
@@jeremiahkennon4990 Thanks. There is solid historical evidence of travels and communications between the Greeks and Indians, and between Indians and the Chinese. This was pre-CE.
well done, the mind as an open partition! Laws of evolution is interesting to take up in the recognition to terms that are at hand! the body can not be dead, it just is dead . . . motivation is an odd labyrinth! controlling power does not control the universe . . . the vigil just brings to topic things that can bear reality in its open cosmos.
A theory of everything is very popular in physics today and is heavily desired by physicists to give an all-encompassing explanation of the universe. Could we say though that the early Greek philosophers of Ancient Greece were some of the first humans to propose a ‘Theory of Everything’? For example, does Anaxagoras, Anaximander, Heraclitus, Parmenides, Empedocles (and much more) have a Theory of Everything? Would it be fair or justified to claim that those philosophers all had a ‘Theory of Everything?’ Another area in Greek philosophical thought that could help with answering this question is the idea of the ‘Arche’. This is usually defined as the ‘first principle’ in metaphysical thought (isn’t this what Anaxagoras, Anaximander, Heraclitus, Parmenides, Empedocles did?). However, it was Aristotle who first defined this term. So, is the idea of a search for the Arche, the principle, an Aristotelian construct?
we instinctively want a prime substance. Parmenides is wrong. the one and the many express themselves in a more Hindu way. Salt becomes when Sodium binds with Chlorine. But, all things are generated from a prime field which connects all things. From stratified levels of static order.
The Teleological theory makes sense when you think about evolution, and how planets eventually form, I also think the whole lgbtq thing is like a predecessor to when we are like aliens and dont have sexes.

This video is more clear, concise, and helpful than my philosophy professor.
using this channel as a supplement to Bertrand Russell's History of Western Philosophy, it's excellent, thank you!
exactly what i am doing too
Nice try Bertrand Russell
It's better than Bertrand Russell's History of Western Philosophy.
Yes
Doing that as well

I agree. It is about having the potential to be anything. I read the same for Anaxagoras too, though he has more ingredients of course.
Gotta agre with this.
Only recently are we rediscovering how energy is transmitted through emotions and how energy effects the form an atom takes.

Isn't the statement "everything is in everything" paradoxical?
Why?
I would interpret this as like a fractal.
