No worries, they mostly share the same basics and rarely unique ideas. Also I dont think truth is hidden in a small detail of writings of a some less popular philosopher. I believe it can be very easily percieved if one can look at life and its surroundings from a wider and superior perspective as like as an man looking to a 2D paintings. It will reveal itself as easy and quick as a painting appears itself to an eye, instantly. So I would never try to read every philosopher. Rather work at concepts, basic ideas and the continuum.

I was planning to make a Little Dark Age version about philosophers, but honestly, this one is perfection. I don't think I can improve on perfection, even if I were a considerably more skilled editor than I am. Which is to say not at all.
I challenge you to dispute this claim, Karl Marx was a philosopher, influenced by Hegel's german idealism. Like him or not, you just can't go crybaby mode everytime someone says he's a philosopher
i don't know why, but a flame at some point began to burn within me and i started to literally love philosophy. i believe that flame was the passion for researching knowledge and reflection, which we all meet at some point in our lives.
This is the beginning of science..Unfortunately a lot of people 've forgotten about this.Nowadays people even don't know what's the true meaning of philosophy...I think science is a tool for philosophy.
This is absolutely fantastic, brilliant. But one significant philosopher and a philosopher who Nietczshe looked up to was Rudolf Steiner and I think he was missed. Apart from that, absolutely wonderful video.
Wait what ? No, Rudolf Steiner, the founder of anthroposophia (which is a sort of occult gnosis and not as such really a philosophy) did look up at Nietzsche, but not the other way around. Nietzsche never knew him.
Its weird to see 3 images of Darwin in a video about philosophy. I know his findings changed how we see, us and the world itself. But he himself was not a philosoph.
kudos for putting influential philosophers of all beliefs, not just the ones you agree with. a lot of these little dark age videos are circlejerks of "my side is better"
Philosophy gets more and more debased every day. We are seriously lost the prime goal of philosophy, which is the pursuit of the objective, singular truth. Now philosophy is used to justify any number of subjective "truths"
Old philosophers pretty much did all the ground work, they said all that needed to be said for someone who cares about truth. A lot of newer philosophers, thinking it all can't be summed up with "find a purpose and be stoic" have basically just been expressing how nihilistic they are in many different ways, and intelligently so. Only that they're so "intelligent" that they've missed the obvious by miles, and that they're convinced the truth wasn't there in the first place. What I dislike about this video is that it portrays XXth century "philosophers", some of which were literally pedophiles and tried to justify pedophilia, among many weird things, like they're philosophers, just like any other philosopher.
@@logancutora9553 Philosophy and science are completely disconnected. The fact that modern science is being applied to philosophical thought is a serious problem.
Marx said; Workers unite. So I say, philosophers unite. Thinkers don't have nations, they have common souls. And this common soul finds peace only in knowing.

This video is a masterpiece.A work of art.This is definitely one of the best of this internet trend.Thanks, buddy
I'm impressed at how many people here know seem to know so much about philosophy here and don't seem to be bullshitting like normal TH-cam commenters.
Sorry if I annoy you, but, could you please tell me which kind of videos do you see? Perhaps it's because when you scroll down, you may remember easily the ones who say bad things; hence that's more noteworthy.
Impartial dialectical discussion must be rare these days.
You don't need to expect quality discussions in the comment section. And yes, that includes Reddit as well.

This video is a legend. I'm an agnostic and I'm from Turkey. We need philosophy and science.
Evet Türkiye'de hiç filozof yok. Halkımıza adam akılkı felsefe eğitimi verilmeli: Şuan insanlara felsefe ne desen cevap bile veremezler.
finally, a little dark age video about historic events that isnt overly edgy
The ability to think and question is the greatest most powerful tool we as humans possess. That is the foundation of everything we are, everything that came before and everything that will come after.
It is the purest and most beautiful form of sentience and existence and there are extremely few who treasure it.
Finally I found somebody who takes philosophy seriously. I am studying philosophy and even my father doesn't take me seriously.
@@mmddubstepcanbefree6277 philosiphy is "phenominal" he he and will get you for in life when you put it to good use in some way or another , simply learning the ideas of philosophers without applying them or adding to them wont get you very far .Thats why its very common for philosophers to also do many other things in life which in turn grows their understanding of philosophy .
Shoutout to my boy Giordano Bruno, one of the greatest of all times

I love how the final image shows Slavoji Zizjek
This is so amazing...wish there was one of psychology too
Quedé absolutamente fascinado por esos recortes tan precisos con la letra y los beats, un gran trabajo, saludos desde Perú!
i love how there's no bad part to show how good the greek and roman philosophy was because philosophy is kinda dead right now

*Philosophy*
The mother of all human knowledge that starts with the simple yet the most important symbol throughout the entirety of humanity (?)
I like how people thinks Philosophy means only Western Philosophy.
Well, philosophy is a western-origin term meaning love of wisdom.
Indian Darshana is not really philosophy.
He stated in the description its only western philosophy
Philosophy would save us all.
This video motivate me to study philosophy on university,thanks 👍🇧🇷
I was planning to make a Little Dark Age version about philosophers, but honestly, this one is perfection.
I don't think I can improve on perfection, even if I were a considerably more skilled editor than I am.
Which is to say not at all.
This a masterpiece if a video, I loved it great job!
This is by far the best edit I've seen in this trend.
William Lane Craig not being in this list is criminal, nonethless I still approve.
ШОК! Попугай научился говорить "завист от контекста" и защитил кандидатскую по философии

Bro tried sneaking Karl Marx in there and thought we wouldn't notice.
I challenge you to dispute this claim, Karl Marx was a philosopher, influenced by Hegel's german idealism. Like him or not, you just can't go crybaby mode everytime someone says he's a philosopher
He is a philosopher though? It seems you haven't actually looked into philosophy very much.
So what? He also put in Rand
i don't know why, but a flame at some point began to burn within me and i started to literally love philosophy. i believe that flame was the passion for researching knowledge and reflection, which we all meet at some point in our lives.
I’m obsessed with all these types of vids
i can see all my life in this 1 minute video.This is all İ need.
the video could finish on the St. Thomas
why this philosophers looks so badass
These edits are so good, powerful.
This is the beginning of science..Unfortunately a lot of people 've forgotten about this.Nowadays people even don't know what's the true meaning of philosophy...I think science is a tool for philosophy.
Yeah, all modern sciences that mock philosophy are based on it. Philosophy will resurrect in all his greatness
There is no science without philosophy
Absolutely Beautiful! 🙌
This is absolutely fantastic, brilliant. But one significant philosopher and a philosopher who Nietczshe looked up to was Rudolf Steiner and I think he was missed. Apart from that, absolutely wonderful video.
Wait what ? No, Rudolf Steiner, the founder of anthroposophia (which is a sort of occult gnosis and not as such really a philosophy) did look up at Nietzsche, but not the other way around. Nietzsche never knew him.
I think he even forgot Albert Camus and Socrates.

This might be a good time to point out that this critisism of modern "degeneracy" is its own form of modern philosophy.
shoutout to Allen Watts one of the best in history
could have fit Foucault, Tarski, Habermas, Sloterdijk into the lineup
yeah besides Habermas i agree xD
Its weird to see 3 images of Darwin in a video about philosophy. I know his findings changed how we see, us and the world itself. But he himself was not a philosoph.
"-yeah I love philosophie.
-oh what's your favorite philosophe?

Do one on eastren philosophy. I know you had included some Arabian ones, but a video specifically on eastren philiosophy would be great.

Everytime I look at little dark age edits I take pity on how we have fallen
Philosophy is still popular amongst the population.
I'm amazed how it turned out so well
kudos for putting influential philosophers of all beliefs, not just the ones you agree with. a lot of these little dark age videos are circlejerks of "my side is better"
Philosophy gets more and more debased every day. We are seriously lost the prime goal of philosophy, which is the pursuit of the objective, singular truth. Now philosophy is used to justify any number of subjective "truths"
Old philosophers pretty much did all the ground work, they said all that needed to be said for someone who cares about truth. A lot of newer philosophers, thinking it all can't be summed up with "find a purpose and be stoic" have basically just been expressing how nihilistic they are in many different ways, and intelligently so. Only that they're so "intelligent" that they've missed the obvious by miles, and that they're convinced the truth wasn't there in the first place.
What I dislike about this video is that it portrays XXth century "philosophers", some of which were literally pedophiles and tried to justify pedophilia, among many weird things, like they're philosophers, just like any other philosopher.
Isn't basically philosophy got evolved Into science tho?
@@logancutora9553 No
@@RealAugustusAutumn why?
@@logancutora9553 Philosophy and science are completely disconnected. The fact that modern science is being applied to philosophical thought is a serious problem.
Marx said; Workers unite. So I say, philosophers unite. Thinkers don't have nations, they have common souls. And this common soul finds peace only in knowing.

Absolutely based that you actually added St. Thomas Aquinas' Summa Teologia.
finally, one of these memes that aren't reactionary bullshit
I imagine Luxemburg saying something stupid like this before getting capped and dumped like trash and its pretty funny lol
Wesser I find it hilarious that you are so needful of our reactionary meme formats (yeah this format is basically a right wing creation). It does validate the maxim that the left can't meme, only copy our memes.
