I agree. I love philosophy, but since psychology considers itself a science, it should use empirical evidence to back up any philosophical suggestion. Such as the "self," there's a guy in Osaka University doing some interesting stuff.
as in lecture 6, Professor Lieberman states, people wrote in diaries, painted, took pics, etc, to relate self in the present, to what one did or how a person was in the past.. a person uses thoses things, to relate on those experiences to the person they are in the present and how they may be in the near futuree
I think there needs to be a way to create some repositories of people with different selves, and every new person has to spend time with all the different types, this will A) Make them aware that there's many diverse discrete types of people. B) Increase empathy. I don't necessarily think it's possible, but in a perfect world.
Marcus Aurelius wrote "To Myself", there are instances of suicide in Homer's Iliad, there were numerous rebellions (Joan of Arc, Spartacus to name 2), the son of a blacksmith could run away with the circus or to become a bandit, traders traveled between continents to buy pepper and visit Jerusalem. My point is people were making fucking choices, and philosophy should be declared a literary genre, not a science.
Very good lecture series. However, I did not like this very lecture as much as the others. In my opinion: to much bubble, no scientific studies to back anything up. This is rather a philosophy webcast, than a sociology lecture.
Extremely interesting. Thank you

Lecture 5--- "What is the self?"
What lecture is this? About the self? Does not seem like it.
If you want to check for a degree of existence of self in "plebs", go check out tribes that still exist even nowadays. That should be highly similar.

I think Baunmatier only meant the Middle Ages.
You see your reflection in metal or in water. Just sayin...
okey
I agree but that's philosophy. If philosophy had evidence it would be science :)
Science is Philosophy that works

great teacher, the content is good and interesting but his jokes are a big miss
