Thank you for wanting to know more today than you did yesterday. :)
How do you speak so flawlessly and connect from an idea to another without showing that you are thinking or processing it in your head? It almost sounds like you are reading a written script of the lesson, but at the same time its just like you telling us a story out of head because you sound so casual. Impressive
some people think very fast. supersonic booms every now and then.
I thought this exact thing. This guy is amazing. It's weird how smart people can be without really fitting into the mold. I'm sure a lot of preparation goes into these little videos but the spontaneous feel of them is striking. It could be cleverly edited I guess but if it is, I can't tell
I love how existentialist thought points out the numerous paradoxes, absurdities and irrationalities of life--i.e., how it is vs. how we would like it to be.
Hey, I love philosophy and you definitely erase all excuses about not having time to read about it. I am truly thankful ! I follow you religiously on spotify, I noticed you upload rarely these days, hope everythings okay and hope you upload more. I’d love to know more about the rise of feminism, it’ll be amazing if you make a second part about Simone De Beauvoir. Thank you !!!
Really enjoyed your podcast and elucidations of Beauvoir's work of literature in her ethics of ambiguity. Listened to your words on my way back from the beach. Infinite food for thought.
This has been incredibly helpful! I feel like I can approach her book more confidently. thank you!!
Thanks for posting this video, i really enoy watching it. It brings a lot of clarity to De Beauvoir's ideas. Thank you!
The subman joke was hilarious.
This was incredibly helpful!
This reminds me of when people say I have no choice. The reality is people always have a choice.
Damn this is so good!
Thanks, I needed that
Well, as a longtime existentialist, after listening to our dear presenter through several of these videos, I have figured out how to best listen. Slow the speed of these episodes down to .75 and all will be revealed! Kidding aside, this slight slowdown makes the presenter sound less on speed and the talks become much more enjoyable. It enables one to penetrate the appearance of what is being said and lend it more philosophical weight. In other words, tt provides some reflective space to apprehend more clearly and fully what is being said. By the way de Beauvoir's Ethics of Ambiguity is a stone classic....
This is really helpful
thank you!! this really helped me understand Beauvoir's ideas
This is awesome. Question: You mention another video preceding this one that discusses more in dept the first section of The Ethics of Ambiguity. Where might I found it? I don't see it and have not been able to find it. Thank you for adding clarity to this because my college instructor wasn't able to explain it clearly.
Hi Stephen, I’m lonelycubicle & hope you love my reply. I have same question as John & hope this reply shows a groundswell of interest. Just went thru your Amazon link to buy the kindle edition of this book, but can’t buy using a phone. I promise to buy through a computer when I get out of bed. Love your videos & gave a 5-Star rating on iTunes you deserve!
Please help I love your content and I'm a longtime listener and in light of recent events I'm searching through your catalog of work looking for particular thought process one of these post-war French philosopher had and I swear it was this episode about how meeting oppression with apathy in the name of Tranquility could be inhumane once the oppression reaches a level where you must face oppression with oppression. Something along those lines but I need this reference point for a piece of writing and if I could lean on your expertise for a moment sir I'd be grateful.
late night pastor 😂almost as good as late night pasta 😍
THANK YOUUU
You should add links to you description. It would help a lot.
Tony Robbins should be regarded as one of the top philosophers :D the 6 human needs? "state" They seem kinda real! (and he really lives by some of his own ideas and they made a pretty enviable life for him)
What would Simone say about obtaining personal happiness? Would she say that happiness equates to personal freedom, and therefore that personal happiness corresponds to promoting the collective freedom of the others? I feel like I’m missing a link somewhere between these concepts. To live an ethical, and subsequently meaningful life, or even to embrace the ambiguity of the human condition, doesn’t necessarily equate to happiness in my view. Am I missing something?
So what is simone de beauvoir nature of subjectivity?
So the meaning of my life is to find the meaning of my life 🤔🤯
You talk a little fast..but I listen again.
Strange how the Americans give so much importance to so little thinkers (Beauvoir Sartre Foucault). IDLE
Existentialist criticisms of nihilism are the best.
Surely there are no true nihilists. They would have committed suicide on realising that they were. Camus was realising that before he changed gear.
I've made a video of a bit of this podcast over some nice nature videos and chill music if anyone wants to check them out! I'm getting into video editing and these podcasts (well especially the ones about existentialism) always make me feel better about life, they're just like 2 minutes long and take the main points :)
I wish you would speak slower so that it would be easier to understand what you are saying.
Nothing to say, just trying to help other people find this :)
i cant listen to a voice for 24 minutes. put some visuals
Or do something else. Play a video game, do some chores, et cetera.
Daniel Quick how demanding. Do your own research then
Well, Daniel Quick, I listen to the show while driving to work, if he adds visuals, it's gonna make my data usage go up without benefitting me..
Dear Steven,
The above is an excuse for you to not add visuals, you're welcome :P
Also, back to Daniel,
I was originally going to say what The Happy Madman said. But he already said it. You should take his advice so I don't get charged extra for data that is, in actuallity, 100% free for the phone companies to provide..
I've made some videos with snippets of the podcast over some nice nature videos and chill music if you want to check them out!
