Maurice Jean Jacques Merleau-Ponty (14 March 1908 - 3 May 1961) was a French phenomenological philosopher, strongly influenced by Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger.
The constitution of meaning in human experience was his main interest and he wrote on perception, art, politics, religion, biology, psychology, psychoanalysis, language, nature, and history.
He was the lead editor of Les Temps modernes, the leftist magazine he established with Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir in 1945.

I like this. Very clear

I cannot call this anything but an incredibly fitting synchronicity. I was looking for something EXACTLY LIKE THIS.

[@thepoltergeizzt]

Synchronicity? It’s called highly advanced computer algorithms.

[@candaniel]

@@thepoltergeizzt You don't know what synchronicities are, do you?
The term doesn't claim to explain the physical causes of how something came to be.
It is for expressing the experience of something coming or happening to you just at the right time.

This reminds me, you uploaded a lecture by Catherine Elgin a while back on her book “True Enough”. I’m imagining someone asked you to take it down. Could you share who I would have to ask for the audio of that lecture?
Thanks Brad

[@Philosophy_Overdose]

No one asked me to take it down. What happened was the whole channel was taken down. You're actually on a whole new channel. In any case, I'm re-uploading the talk now.

@@Philosophy_Overdose I see. No wonder all the videos look familiar

@@Philosophy_Overdose Excellent. This is probably my favorite of all your uploads. She’s probably the contemporary philosopher I sympathize with the most, at least epistemologically.
I’d be very interested in your thoughts on this lecture and related matters
