I came to Austrian economics from a background in philosophy. The clarity of thought is delightful. It’s a shame so few appreciate this. This is the best course on intro to praxeology on TH-cam at the moment. I’ve watched them all.
Same here and Im in agreement with you, it really changed my understanding of metaphysics, im still taking it all in 6 years after picking up Human Action.
*@ogogo ogpgpg* please explain just one flaw in the apriori reasoning described in this video, preferably referencing a specific time in the video where he’s talking about the point you disagree with. If you’ve found an error I would like to know about it. Cheers!
*@ogogo ogpgpg* what is wrong with apriori reasoning? Without it there is no logic, no algebra, no geometry, etc. These are all deductively proven from axioms that if denied would require a contradiction. The same is true for praxeology.
*@ogogo ogpgpg* can you argue for your point? If so I’d love to hear your argument against logic. It does no good to just say in abstract “that might be wrong,” you have to be able to make your case or else I have no basis for supporting your claims. Hoppe is orders of magnitude smarter than the average person. The chances that a random commenter online is better informed or smarter than Hoppe on his narrow area of life-long professional interests is slim to none, so my Bayesian prior probability estimate of you being right essentially rules it out, unless you can make a compelling argument. I think Hoppe is wrong about some things too, nobody is always right. But to say apriori reasoning as such is in question is something you should be able to defend or maybe you shouldn’t claim it. Cheers!
I haven't listened to the whole thing, but I think you are confusing Kant with Cairnes ("John Elliott Cairnes") en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Elliott_Cairnes
wowhallo cool, so now you’re literally defending ignorance, and then stating that rather than enlightening yourself to said ignorance, you’ll remain ignorant. Quality stuff
The discussion of human action could be illustrated in a primitive state by the video of the crow that drops a stone in a column of water in order to float a nut higher so that the crow can grab and eat it.
for anyone new to libertarianism the first principles of libertarianism already consider property rights a basis for human rights,that's why its called natural law! Plus there's more context exactly why you have property rights as well as the justifications for having property rights.
Yes, the justification is called argumentation ethics, which Rothbard adopted as soon as he heard it because both his argumentation was severely lacking and Hoppe's argument is airtight.
I've had a hoppean try to claim that feudalism was a example of Anarchy,if this ideology is capable of producing the claim that tries to insinuate that A system that is completely rifed with centralization and the potential to become authoritarian is somehow Anarchy then I'd say that speaks volumes for the ideology. Also there is a lot of love for feudalism and monarchy from hoppe himself that combined with the concept of Covenant Community should concern people considering they're just as centralised as a kingdom would be. just to many ways for a cc to form into a actual monarchy.
You have a good understand however the ideas are broader than you seem to state, if someone wants to live in a commune then that should be respected also
@@frederick3467 that's just it. If its capable of becoming a kingdom thin what's stoping the king or kings from simply keeping you there? Your free to do what you want as long as it does not violate someones self ownership( no murder rape blackmail Etc) but the people who own the community are capable of violating this because they have all the control. Its not about people should not be allowed to join a cc its that a cc as described by hoppeans from what I've gathered is fatally flawed and destined to become highly centralized and authoritarian. Someone needs to redesign that aspect otherwise its just recreating the same problem it claims to fix.
@Hail @Hail Hail interesting you claimed that hoppe does not love monarchy and yet his entire system revolves around the exact same approach that a kingdom would. I mean hell a cc is just privately owned land that people are renting to live on and must follow the rules that the owner has made clear. replace owner with king and you have the basic concept of a monarch. So trying to clean that hoppe does not love monarchy is simply silly considering his system is clearly inspired by it.

The way he says Kant’s name.

What's wrong with the way he says it? Sounds like the proper german pronouciation.
wowhallo I think you should try listening before commenting
@@jsallerson No I shouldn't. I told you that I hadn't listened to the whole thing. I heard him talk about Cairnes and then I saw your comment.

Hans opening up this lecture like an mf rap battle fr
Excellent lecture!
The discussion of human action could be illustrated in a primitive state by the video of the crow that drops a stone in a column of water in order to float a nut higher so that the crow can grab and eat it.
for anyone new to libertarianism the first principles of libertarianism already consider property rights a basis for human rights,that's why its called natural law! Plus there's more context exactly why you have property rights as well as the justifications for having property rights.
This has nothing to do with this lecture.
Yes, the justification is called argumentation ethics, which Rothbard adopted as soon as he heard it because both his argumentation was severely lacking and Hoppe's argument is airtight.

@Hail Agreed Hoppe is a few levels ahead but its important to understand how Hoppe is translated and understood also

@Hail intresting a ad hominem and a strawman.
