Don't be so hard on yourself in the intro; your show has been great from the beginning! You clearly have a gift. Also, your channel has really helped me out in my life. I view things differently now, in a more level-headed way. Thanks Stephen!

Hey Stephen, just wanted to shout out and say a huge thanks for creating this series. I've gotten myself into a big existential rut, but these episodes make my day. I haven't felt this engaged for a long while (typing notes/thoughts as if I'm back at uni). I love the questions at the end of each episode, prompting me to look at life through various lens. Thank you and if there was ever a moment where you weren't sure about starting this, I want you to know that it's getting me out of bed and helping me ask questions to lead a happier and more fulfilling life. THANK YOU!!
Ever since i discovered this podcast i'm mesmerized, it's all i listen to these days. It would be really useful if you would arrange the videos in playlists by school of thought. Anyway, thank you so much for this, i feel like i finally understand philosophy
Same here. Have the people around you started saying you are insufferable? My wife says I've changed a lot and that I'm pedantic about how I question everything and assume nothing. My use of absolutes when I talk have almost all but disappeared. I have a lot more clarity of thought. I'm so much happier for it, I was just wondering if you have had a similar experience?
@@andrewwright1922 I certainly have and I’m only 18! I just wonder about with my thoughts wherever I can, but almost never seem to get clear answers. I just hope this podcast will make a difference in that
Yes! We want all of them! Since chapter one!
I heard about this podcast somewhere & finally listened to episode 1 on Spotify today. I feel like I just want to keep listening to this guy, it was so good. I just put on this episode on Spotify before going to bed & kept listening peacefully. Can't wait to catch up with the rest of the episodes. Thanks for making these!
Stephen, thank you so much for uploading these episodes! I'm a huge fan and you are the reason I like philosophy. It truly shows how much time and effort are going to each episode from the very first one.
Thaaaales!!!! Violently headbangs!*
Great summary, I really enjoyed it.
I'd just add one remark: the lives and personalities of presocratics are largely fictionalized to fit their philosophies. We have no reason to believe basically any of the anecdotes on Heraclitus or his misantropic behaviour and crazy death. For further reading I'd recommend a book Death by Philosophy by late Ava Chitwood.
You're a great person, thank you.
Thank you for recording these for us. You talked slowly in early episodes ! :)
Thank you for this podcast, it has rekindled my love of philosophical discourse. I have been revisiting my old philosophy texts and gaining new insights everyday.
Wowwwww…I ve beeen waiting for this kinda podcast..Thank you 🙏🏼
I’m so excited this is on TH-cam! I’m always listening on Spotify ❤️
This is SO damn good!. Thank you so much for posting this Stephen it is very much appreciated.
Still reaching new audience! Keep up the hard work and thank you for sharing with us!
Good to see where you started, it was already great at the time
Stephen!!! Your content is so damm awesome. I have been hearing it on repeat like forever now. You are like the Leviathan of philosophy to me which Fransis bacon talks about!!! Love your content.
26:25 lol "He was an angry, Get Off My Lawn kind of guy"
Hands down the best TH-cam channel and podcasts out there.
Great episode! Thank you for this!
You know I just discovered these gems of a podcasts. I am listening on spotify. Thank you so much for this. I think I will be taking notes of these podcasts. And for some reason when you talk about these philosophers and their idiosyncratic lives and behaviour, I just see badass anime characters discovering things or just doing some badass things. 😁
Your philosophy podcasts are very well done. Great work - thank you.
This inspires me a lot, it gets me hyped for when I become a teacher
So delighted to reach your first episode, and it is wonderful, like those that follow! A very engaging roundup of the preSocratic thinkers. I liked the look at people coming out of Africa and while I realise it was just a very minor point about how tough life was, and I don't claim to know much about paleontology, I do wonder whether people had more resources than we might think today. Just looking at the enormous range of skills that Australian Aboriginal people used and in many cases still use to navigate life I note that finding water is an artform for this culture. They can find water in the desert by understanding the types of vegetation that use underground water, to locate it near the surface. Then there is their knowledge of the seasons, that tells where food can be found at different times of year. It is recorded in stories and songs that hark back to times of scarcity. This is not to detract from your point about life being tough, it certainly was, but for people of our culture it would have been impossible. We have forgotten the skills that kept people happy and healthy in those times, and made them incredibly resillient. There is a movie titled "The Rabbit Proof Fence" that tells the story of a 14 year old Aboriginal girl who was stolen from her family and taken to an institution 1400kms from her home. She managed to escape, bringing her 8 year old cousin too, and because she recognised the same fence that ran past her home, used it to navegate her way back on foot. She managed to find food and water to keep her and her cousin alive for the 3 months that it took her to walk back. This was in central Australia, desert country, and country she was not familiar with. Imagine us trying to do that! Australian Aboriginal culture has many similarities to the bushman culture of South Africa, cultures that would be much closer to those ancient cultures than our own.
Love this podcast. TH-cam needs more of this 👍
Great informative talk. Well done !
I came to the jocko podcast for the philosophy, stayed for the warfare strategics. I came to the Timcast podcast for the knowledge, stayed for the entertainment.
I think Philosophize this is the only podcast where I actually stayed for what I came for.
Granted I got what I came for in all of these instances, but still
incredible work friend - very intuitive indeed
🙏 thank you. I hope you getting paid this. You deserve it.
Awesome, was looking for the first ones :)
Omg ty sooooo much for putting these up on TH-cam
It’s impressive you went back and edited to mention the quality as a new listener but this video is great and well done as a 1 man show.
Listening to you again with my brother. Your content was instrumental in my interest in education
I’m going through all your work. Thank you!
Im happy he is on youtube now since I don’t have spotify anymore
My fav podcaster on philosophy!
Who else is revisiting this series from the beginning
Been searching for this after hearing it on spotify
This is my favorite channel.
just discovered and love it!
better than music while studying
@djene_djene ^Twentieth century Church when someone questioned them 😂
I first learned of So-Crates when I was five years old. All we are is dust in the wind.
14:41 Thales of Miletus
I was in solitary for a month. There was still communication. People talked through the vents.
Thank you!
3 years later starting this philosophy journey on the age of 20 after someone adviced me to watch a video or two of you for fresh starters that wanna learn. Hope this will age well..
Can you upload all episodes please
The music in between is so out of place xD
But I absolutely love the podcast man please don’t stop.
Felt identified with one of the examples. !
good job. Thanks /,,/
1. Pre-Jessica XD
2. Thales was the first capitalist?
3. Funny metal intermezzi
4. Huge like, I'm gonna listen to all of em, thanks
You're an excellent presenter. Even back then
By the way thanks for this it really helped me to learn and think the way they thinked
" Working in downtown Cleveland in a Pickle Factory "...whoa. !!! i. LIKED THAT !! ya got MY vote buddy. !!
i have subscribed...love your phraseology. ( my made-up word )....Rock music... i'm IN for the long run...
Gonna give this a try
Thank you so much sir for podcast as it helps a lot in my studies but please write the name of Philosophers as well as it is difficult to get the names due to accent issue.
Thank you so much !
The cause Democritus is in this list might is his city calls 'Abdera' was founded by Ionians. Thank you for the content. I would like a podcast with a dude alongside you. :)
Excelente!!!!
Bro did you start uploading the early episodes to TH-cam?
Awesome. What is that song/band in between segments?
band is Bullet For My Valentine
song is "cries in vains in"
Thank you for the content. I have just discovered your podcast and really like it and enjoy listening to it. However I noticed you talk about Lucretiuss' "De Rerum Natura" which is a comprehensive exposition of the Epicurean world view and not "the best version of atomism" as you falsely stated (although Epicurus further developed the Democritian theory of atoms). And it is "De Rerum Natura" and not "Nactura" as you pronounced it. Other than that I may have just discovered what I will binge on in this second round of lockdown.
this is great
so far, you have me lol! great job. I'll be back
While I would agree that Democritus theory of atoms is definitely ONE OF the most significant ideas of the pre-socratics, the Pythagorean theorem I think has to take the title as THE most important.
@
Philosophize This! I'm pretty sure your facebook link is incorrect, unless you are a part-time rapper.
This is GOLD 🦄
Which book should I read to get more details in the pre-socratic philosophers?
The music breaks fucking slap dude. All aboard the hype train!
Is this avaliable on spotify or apple?
Welp, here we go again brain. Thanks for all this content I’m about to gorge myself on.
there is no eng captions 😭, anyone know, how to add auto english captions?
love you.
Looked up this episode on TH-cam wondering if anyone knows the dubstep track at the end lol
Bryan the kid callen sent me here
Hello, everyone. Could someone tell me which were the philosophers mentioned during the podcast? English is not my first language and I'll love to read more about them but I couldn't catch all the names.
You can click the subtitle button to see. It's not 100% correct but when you search, google will find the correct name
Here you go in order mentioned I believe:
Thales
Anaximander
Anaxamenes
Heraclitus
Parmenides
Zeno (mentioned in passing)
Democritus
@@nicholasbray4854 thank you :D
@@camilaandreabecerraplata4550 No problem. Happy learning my friend.
"Why do you do the things you do?"
Why a pink highlighter? It's just so descriptive.
This seems a bit faster than on Spotify
Joe Rogan sent me here from his interview with adam conover 2019. Im digging this podcast. Its excellent!
OoAT ?? I read it's near the black sea, in Asia.
Philosophy and Bullet for my Valentine? What more could you want!
hey man, what did you study?
Nice
Bring back the power metal interludes!
Bullet for my valentine! That gave me some good vibes! 14:38
What song pleaseee lol
@@beewills9492 cries in vain
@@danielholta5721 thx!
So this is where all the musical modes come from . Ionian dorian aeoliam
İ watched this episode in 0.75 speed it doesn’t mean i am stupid it means my english knowledge is not enough :)
It means u are learning
Stupid is as stupid does.
It could be argued that Thales was a meta-physicist, whereas Socrates was the first philosopher because he cared about the natural world and Thales did not as much
So, I can only under stand good by being evil, and evil by being good. Without one we would have no understanding of good and evil, nor word for it?
Need to think on this
Self reminder rewatch this
I remember reading a quote by someone that said ~ you can only be a truly good person when you understand the depth of your darkness (or something like that). I think it was alluding to the idea that you can't really understand why it's good until you understand what can be lost. You can't understand the value of a life until you understand what is lost when you take one. An idea to ponder rather than an act to carry out I think :p
15:50
The funny thing is that ur ancestors had reason and they were not distracted by modern tv ,etc,they were just as smart as you, probably smarter Mr Darwin
it was like living in modern day alabama 😂😂😂
So is thelis the father of philosophy?
0:08:00
wait thales like the theorem? wow
maybe i'll be able to understand his philosophy better then his maths
Presocrates was the greatest
add subtitles please , onwards atleast ........
25:00

@Petes F Who cares if some of you don't like Joe Rogan. Even me writing this is less of a waste of time than you writing about how you don't like Joe Rogan.
