Thank you so much for this video. It helped me understand these concepts well enough to get an A on my last paper, even if it did take several cycles of the video! Very clear and very accurate.
I love your videos, What is the harm for adding the option of (CC) for my (deaf-family member). It would be very useful for People who are (deaf). Some of your videos, do not have the (CC) option. Please check all of your uploads.
Some people, myself included, want to do things to serve other species to make Them happy. That in turn makes us happy. So the end goal is happiness. But a very different type of reason for happiness. An altruistic happiness.
Nietzsche took care of happiness with Amor Fati. The simple definition of happiness discussed here is the real problem. It promotes notions that are simply not in line with reality and life as it is.
i just started watching this, i dont get it, he said that knowledge comes from experience which is related on you becoming wise but i think that contradicts the story of his grandpa,(which is 4:00 o just started and i know its to early to ask question) about the 3 types of person, he said that the wise man JUST watch the mistakes of the first 2 and he decided not to do it.. so... i mean wheres the EXPERIENCE in that? dont get me wrong it honestly is confusing me
i think experience doesn't necessarily mean that you have to live the experience. by observing how the people around you's experience on something and how it turned out you can gain experience on that thing yourself
Higher happiness and lower happiness? Pleasure vs happiness? Wealth is the Golden mean? How do you attain wealth-happiness? I' m skeptical that a person can always be happy. Unhappy? Take a Soma, smoke a joint, have drink! Would prefer a drug that would make you happy or virtuous? Ihave been told that there re 11 different qualities that are virtues. Excessive Wisdom??? 🤔
hi :) i am from India . i am a student of psychology. could you help me know if there is any valid questionnaire to measure eudaimonic happiness? where can i find one ?
There is not one, you do not ever really reach a state of Eudaimonia, instead it is a constant goal to reach. You know you have had a , "good life" when you can look back on it and say that you have, of course this must be right before you die as to be your full life.
Ikigai is a model that can lead a person to make open-ended questions about how to help a person strive to the positions that lead a person to eudaimonia. The pursuit of happiness is a topical and subjective means, eudaimonia is the end (telos). - Your Quality Apologist
As I understand it in this context and from my own studies (key points there - MY studies, MY understanding), yes. Recklessness would be too much courage, whereas cowardice would be too little. The "golden mean," as I have heard it called, would be what would be striven for, which would be the right amount for the right situation.
I disagree with you because some people need to take antidepressants or they will have suicidal thoughts in order to give themselves more endorphins since people with depression have a lack of it.
@@anab0lic Although one should be critical of pharamceutical industry (like any institution with power), it is wrong to assume that antidepressants cant be helpful to achieve a healthy life. In the lecture of Thorsby he even argues for sheer luck involving our environment and if we think of our body as an environment, it is certainly wise to deal with possible problems in the chemical make up of our body. The disagreement, as far as I understand, is a misunderstanding of the definition of happiness proposed by Thorsby's interpretation of Aristotle. He argues that happiness is a cluster of things, all needed to be in certain conditions to create happiness. One of the things IS pleasure and the depressive person (afaik im not a psychologist) can be an inability to experience these pleasures. It is important to look for the causes of the chemical imbalance though, because those are shaped by our environment (nature AND nuture) and a change in behaviour/politics can be very helpful to dealing with depression, because those can be the very causes of the depression. Treat the symptoms and the causes, so to speak.
Amazing lecture, how did I not find this video sooner?
Thank you for posting. A great presentation. “Eudaemonia is a natural telos”
You have a wonderful voice to listen to. Very pleasant lecture. Thank you.

Just came across this. Very enlightening prof! Thank you.
Brilliant, Mark. Thanks for taking the time to make and post this.
Great video! Once again thank you for helping me understand the topic. Excellent lecture.
Love the way you visually structure the information, thanks for providing this video.
Thank you 🙏🏻, I am enjoying your interpretation ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ First Class! Five Stars!
I am beyond the duality of happy and sad, but I wish to bring happiness to others
I love your videos, What is the harm for adding the option of (CC) for my (deaf-family member). It would be very useful for People who are (deaf). Some of your videos, do not have the (CC) option. Please check all of your uploads.
Thanks for a great lecture Mark!
3:00 minutes in - "Damn. This is going to be good."
Nichomachus was actually Aristotle's son :)
Good lecture, sir :)

Learn from others mistakes.
It took me a long time to stop smoking.
This is great
The fool, the normal and wise man! Sometime am the fool, most times normal, and too rarely wise. 🤔😏
Sweet
Thanks! what's the program did you use?

No guarantee. Moral luck is possible. Ethics personal, politics social.
Why do I do what I know I ought not to do? Flipside. Why don't I do what I know I should do?🤔
wow !

Recklessness is too much courage, no?

bullshit. They lack what brings true happiness and no pill will fix that. The pharmaceutical industry preys on and exploits ignorant people like you.
