This introduction of Heraclitus: this explanation of his thoughts is a great way of presenting the idea of the Ancient Greek philosopher so wonderfully. Dr. Hobbs has not only simplified the deep but obscure theory of Heraclitus in the most easy way possible but also has made it sure that it reaches the maximum readers who have some interest in the ancient philosophy of Heraclitus as a pre-Socratic philosopher.

As a student (old retired guy that just started learning about this stuff) it would be interesting to hear you place Heraclitus, Parmenides, and Plato on the timeline covering the transition from archaic period to the philosophical age. Explain the trajectory. And the change in how "Truth" was arrived at & communicated before and after. And look at both myth & language...in that context. Its interesting that traditional myth was discounted for logic & reason - expressed in language. But now with language (like myth) once again we question the medium's ability to communicate "Truth". Also "via negativa" (Apophatic) versus "paradox". Thanks for your lectures. Very informative.
I am not smart enough to understand or critique what Ms. Hobbs explains but I do have just enough intelligence to appreciate how articulate she is when explaining complex ideas. A pleasure to listen to her and “try” to learn.
If all changed randomly, you would be even more irrational than now. Youre trying to get high without having to pay. Wherever you go, there you are. Existence is identity.
Dr. Hobbs is erudite and marvelously articulate. I found this presentation easier to grasp in a first listening than I did the one on Parmenides. I’ve also listened to Gadamer’s lecture on Heraclitus. Many thanks for your subtitles on that video. 🤗
Brilliant presentation thank you for sharing as well as inspiring. I am studying philosophy and i found your talk interesting and very useful for my learning ❤
Excellent! Engaging and lucid. " Uncomprehending" is syntactically placed in an enigmatic manner, but I think it perhaps means that inscrutability underlies ultimate ( if at all possible ) meaning, or the Logos. "Logos" also means language and Heraclitus would then tie in with the poststructuralist position that language fails to yield a final meaning. Thus ambiguity, paradox, ellipses inhabit the core of the universe.
The Yaminahau shamans use a metaphorical logic in the language they use to talk to the spirits. It's called 'tsai yoshtoyoshto' which means 'language -twisting-twisting'. A twisted-language that only they use. I suppose it could just be a conclusion of poststructral anthropologists though...
@@divertissementmonas I see...interesting to know about the 'twisted' language of the shamans. The Yorubas in Africa have a trickster monkey in their symbology/ cosmology, whose language is 'double voiced'. Henry Louis Gates, Jr., uses the trope of the 'signifying monkey' to establish the double voicedness in the Black use of the English language.
>poststructuralist position that language fails to yield a final meaning. “Like a spoiled, disillusioned child, who had expected predigested capsules of automatic knowledge, a logical positivist stamps his foot at reality and cries that context, integration, mental effort and first-hand inquiry are too much to expect of him, that he rejects so demanding a method of cognition, and that he will manufacture his own “constructs” from now on. (This amounts, in effect, to the declaration: “Since the intrinsic has failed us, “the subjective is our only alternative.”) The joke is on his listeners: it is this exponent of a primordial mystic’s craving for an effortless, rigid, automatic omniscience that modern men take for an advocate of a free-flowing, dynamic, progressive science.” Ayn Rand, "Intro. To Objectivist Epistemology.”
Metaphysics consists of a thousand different ways to empty the world of meaning. Far more difficult, perhaps impossible, is to add meaning to the world. Immutable structures, like math and logic, are discoverable, to be sure. But, they provide a map of true relations the teleology of which is inscrutable. Empirical science, being founded upon inductive reasoning, is not demonstrably immutable, howsoever useful for contingent human purposes. Metaphysics makes the grandest claims for itself, but offers only childish unveilings of the kenoma and the poetry of pure speculation.
Thank you for this excellent exposition! I would ask a question: why the road is always the same whether you go up or down, but the river is never the same when you step it twice?
A truly brilliant teacher, with such an eager spirit. Her depths of knowledge certainly rise to the surface in a fine way. As much as I respect Heraclitus' great mind, I do think that Parmenides alone hit the core of what we are: 'being'. Heraclitus, of course, had a firm conception of the importance of Logos, which is not completely dissimilar to ἐόν (being), as both terms point to the idea of all as one. Yet, Parmenides was clear when he distinguished the seeming (seeming being key here) world of change from unchanging Being, whereas Heraclitus was too caught up in hypothesising about change and motion - both of which do not really exist.
All words from that quote @8:00 are still used, in their original or in other forms, in modern Greek. Ποταμος, Αυτος, Μπαινω, Ετερα, Και, Υδατα, Επιρροη.
“If those who guide you say: Look, the Kingdom is in the sky! Then the birds are closer than you. If they say: Look, it is in the sea! Then the fish already know it. The Kingdom is inside you, and it is outside you. When you know yourself, then you will be known, and you will know that you are the child of the Living Father; but if you do not know yourself, you will live in vain and you will be vanity.” - Some Guy
I think that Hellenic philosophy was more deeply thought than we can imagine today. And I don't think so that they(Pre-Socratics) would solve ethical issues in any special way.They dealt with being, time, the individual and the being itself.Only Socrates and all the great ones after him and of course the Sophists began to moralize and "politicize".
If we could “understand” being and individuality then there would be no more need for moralising or politics. We would act according to the logos. With that forgotten all that’s left is talk of politics. Heraclitus was a true poet, and his exquisite words will echo in the caverns of the bosom as long as “heart and brain have faculty by nature to subsist”.
@@garymelnyk7910Yes, you are right if you understand logos as meaning argument from reason like Aristotle. But Heraclitus understood the word Logos differently . The Stoics take from Heraclitus the concept of logos, to which they attribute the meaning of world law: Logos is the inevitable destiny of the world.So what is important is the meaning we give to the word LOGOS.🙂
@@norbertsarkozy I try not to give any meaning to the word. I sit patiently waiting for the word to give of it’s own meaning, believing (as I have seen written by others) that “the logos that can be named is not the eternal logos”. In this case it is greater to receive than to give.
One of the greatest disasters ever happened in human history, switching from Pre-socratics to Socrates. It changed the nature and understanding of Philosophy and opened the way to Christianity which enslaved REASON/LOGOS for hundreds of years and murdered Greek Ratioanilism.
The Most Important Day in our human history was year 624 before our chronicle. The birth of THALES of Miletus it did start the Human ´s Philosophy. 🍀🍀🍀. We are having 2.600 years of the Humanity.
Exactly! David J Barrow (RIP) from Cambridge University made an incredible statement: “A universe simple enough to be understood could not have created a mind capable of understanding it.” Too many people think that they know! But as Emily Dickinson said: “But what of that?”
Nothing like a contradictory paradox to grab your attention and attract an audience. If you want to put a modern scientific spin on the idea that everything is fire; matter and energy are interchangeable. Therefore everything is energy (in one form or another.)
I don't claim to be an expert on Heraclitus, but his ideas are very similar to those from Eastern thought; Self-cultivation, looking within and searching for Truth (Logos as I understand it) there. The points put forward here are interesting, but I don't agree that understanding them from the perspective of Western thought, science, and seeking to understand and explain the universe outside us is the optimal starting point. If the knowledge to understand the nature of Truth exists within us, according to Heraclitus, then what use is to to always look without for these answers
That's funny how modern Greeks have almost zero knowledge about Pre-Socratic Philosophy. To all my fellow modern Greeks - with whom I have absolutely nothing in common as a Greek - I dedicate the book to them - via this video: "Όλα όσα γνωρίζουν οι νεοέλληνες για τους αρχαίους Έλληνες - Ρένος Αποστολίδης (Everything the modern Greeks know about the ancient Greeks - Renos Apostolidis). A book which mirrors exactly the modern Greek of Christianity and denial of truth. If you've looked through the book, yes, there are 256 blank white pages. I'll close this comment by quoting Reno's words about this book: «Για διαβάστε Αρχαίους μας, κι αφήστε τώρα τους τόσους ατάλαντους που γράφουν σήμερα! Αρχαίους! Αρχαίους! Πρώτες ποιότητες! Μη χάβετε δεύτερα πράγματα!» Translation: "Read our Ancient Ones, and leave now the many untalented people who write today! Ancients! Ancients! First qualities! Don't waste second things!". byeeee~

How can you help a dumb bunny moron who wont help himself? Value is not a mystical or social mystical revelation. It is action that furthers conditional life.

And, then, as Frank Sinatra sings, "...when my chin is on the ground, I pick myself up, dust myself off, and start all over again." A society of dumb bunnies will become a bunny coat for fascists.
