This was a brilliant podcast! Keep up the great work.
Brilliant, I'm new to philosophy and i think you've explained it more clearly than anyone I've encountered online before so thank you.
spicy topic!
I knew I'd find PaulVanderKlay in this neck of the woods of youtube!
Excellent video. thank you so much for it. Question: what are your thoughts on Rene Guenon? Is nominalism vs realism related to his notion of the reign of quantity (vs quality)?
I am not Nathan Jacobs, but it certainly is part of that. Nominalism, by making basically each individual being unique in itself (I am not talking about later developments, but original nominalism as in Ockham), and making the "universal" merely a mental concept, IS such a clear example of the incipient reign of quantity. The world is a multiplicity of individuals who are connected more or less arbitrarily in our minds. It's even worse, of course, when not even individual beings seem to be real anymore, and just sense impressions are.
I recommend you to read Jean Borella's point of view on Guénon which is very critical in some aspects, but very positive on others.
@@Consilium740 Yes, I can confirm that it's certainly one of the best things you can read after reading guénon: Jean borella guenonian esoterism and christian mystery
God Grant you many years!
This podcast is excellent. You give a really great summary of the underpinnings of the demise of the west. It all makes perfect sense. Great stuff.
Dugin is no Rasputin ;-)

And what's replacing Western culture? Silly discussion.
The Nothing.
Please explain
Happy to see your podcasts are now on youtube, which allows us to adjust the video speed (I am super-busy and listen to all videos/documentaries/movies/interviews at 1.75 speed)! I enjoy your work! Glad to see you discussing Dugin! Also: around the 1:19:00 mark you correctly criticize the Left-Hegelians for ignoring a core component of Hegel's work; incidentally, I have friends who are both east orthodox and right-hegelians who are trying to reconcile Hegel with Orthodox theology of Palamas etc. -RSM PS I am also curious to know your take on the fordham vs. anti-fordam debate taking place in some orthodox circles. *Update: Disregard my fordham question; you pretty much answered it in the course of the [brilliant] talk!
Thanks so much.
This was good. Long, but good. I was dremeling while I listened.
Brilliant. Thank you Nathan. God Bless.
“And yet, the very specific madness that it represents is a war against reality.” The heart of the demonic rebellion.
Great content
It's like finding gold hiding in a cave, Great Videos! (Like like liked and Subscribed)
I have an idea. I am sure that you record these sometime in advance and maybe even know several weeks in advance what's going to drop. If this is the case I think it would be neat if you could release a recommended reading list prior to the video releasing. This is the closest thing I've seen to college level education in podcast form. So I'm thinking of something where the people that wanted to could come to class having read the assigned material in advance. Clearly most people couldn't do that for every episode but it might be fun especially on a topic that is particularly interesting ti an individual
Your comments on the 'heart of the demonic rebellion' (2:16:00 ish) I'm going to have to think about, but, I was teleported to back in 2016 to a debate involving a panel of LGBT professors vs a certain noisy canadian psychologist. One of the panel professors (Mary K Bryson) had this to says part of a rebuttal:
"It comes down to the fact that science about causality and sex being linked and in essence producing gender requires us to move outside of the current realm. All that we have in this realm is quasi experimentation. We can't actually do studies where we manipulate the chromosomal or hormonal environment, and so because we can't actually remove sexism and mysogeny we can't actually reach conclusions about what we take to be gender differences".
It was a wild enough statement that I had to write it down to try and parse it out, hence the accurate recall after eight years. "Our inability to move outside of the current realm" is basically "reality is the enemy (2:17:10)" that you identify so succinctly in a way that never made sense before, well put.
Amazing episode! I might have to think about this more before I make a comment... Oops, too late.
It looks like Carlson's full interview with him has been removed from TH-cam?
James joiner on your program? Interview? He's a former prof of mine!
Love this podcast. Question for Doc J: if Christians all held to realism, would they no longer feel the need to do evidentialist apologetics?
Good question! I'll add it to the pile for his Q&A this month (to be released in the next week or so). Keep an eye out for that. -- JB, producer
First
Is that in the realist or Nominalistic sense! 😂
It seems to me that Buddhism is inherently Nominalist. That seems like a logical extension of "No-self." Perhaps thats why it gained so much footing in the West: it fit right into the Nominalist worldview.
