Hello Philosophy Vibe may you make a video on “Requalism” 👇 “Requalism Etymology of Requalism: The term “Requalism” is derived from the combination of the words “re,” meaning back, “equal” shortened to “qual” for even, and “ism” for process. The Components of Requalism Requalism is a belief system that can be broken down into four key components, which are interconnected and work together to form the foundation. These components include: 1. Interconnectedness of All Things in the Universe: Requalism emphasizes the idea that everything in the universe is interconnected, and that understanding this interconnectedness is essential for gaining a deeper understanding of oneself and the world around them. This concept is based on the Reflective Equilibrium Hypothesis, which suggests that the universe is a reflection of interconnected principles. 2. Understanding The Nature of Identity Through Interests, Perceptions, and Values: Requalism places a strong emphasis on understanding the nature of identity through interests, perceptions, and values. Interests serve as stimuli that capture attention, perceptions involve the processing of interests, and values are patterns of interest that shape an individual’s identity. This concept is derived from the IPV Theory, which is a part of the Reflective Equilibrium Hypothesis. 3. Conservation of Balance and Order in the Universe: Requalism also focuses on the conservation of balance and order in the universe, a concept based on the Law of Arrangeability. This law is founded on entropy and the conservation of balance and order in physical systems. By acknowledging this principle, Requalism encourages individuals to maintain a sense of balance and order in their own lives and to recognize the interconnectedness of all things in the universe. In turn, everything exists within a network of relationships and interconnectedness. 4. Relativity of Truth and the Presence of Error Interference: Finally, Requalism challenges the notion of absolute truth by suggesting that truth can only be established through the presence of error interference. This concept is derived from the Equivalence Error, which is another component of the Reflective Equilibrium Hypothesis. By emphasizing the relativity of truth and the importance of recognizing and understanding the relativity in errors, Requalism encourages individuals to approach knowledge and understanding with humility and open-mindedness. In summary, Requalism is a belief system that acknowledges the interconnectedness of all things in the universe, the importance of understanding identity with interests, perceptions, and values, and the idea that truth is relative and can only be established through the presence of error interference.”
Thank you for your top ten list of philosophy books. I attentively listened with much interest. I've read six of them but will definitely purchase the others you recommended. Keep philosophising!
Love the list. Berkeley is my philosophical man, and Descartes one of my favorites. I would add that if you are interested in Berkeley's philosophy, or are going to read Berkeley's Principles, I'd recommend reading the Three Dialogues Between Hylas and Philonous. It's Berkeley's philosophy presented in dialogue form- so it's more accessible IMO. The Principles is generally more detailed, but you get really incisive arguments concerning especially perception and the mind in the Dialogues. Berkeley writing is also one of a kind for its clarity and grace. His style was considered fine by Alexander Pope, Jonathan Swift and the best London writers of his day
We read Descartes in my Early Modern Philosophy class at college. I was so surprised at how it completely challenged my basic notions about reality, about what qualities of knowledge we take for granted. The meditation on the wax really drove it home for me. I also love that the method made essential knowledge something available to the everyman. People can train themselves into what they want to be, not into some pre-ordained caste assigned at birth by society or god.
I have read the first 6 pages of the first chapter of 'Beyond Good and Evil' by Friedrich Nietzsche. I found it hard going. Ah well, I am just not an intellectual. I have the book 'The Origins of Knowledge and Imagination' by Jacob Bronowski too.
@@MikeFuller-ok6ok A lot of philosophy is in response to schools of thought that have been developing since Ancient times. They make references to problems and use terminology that has had thousands of years to evolve. Sometimes a primer text is required to understand the context of a piece of philosophy, as well as the way they're using the terms to describe things. Sometimes I think they're being intentionally impenetrable and inscrutable though. If you write confusing and sometimes say something poignant, people will spend generations working out what the hell you were trying to say. I've tried reading Kierkegaard as well as Heidegger and it's mostly nonsense to me. I hear Hegel is hard to read too. The audiobook for history of western philosophy is very good and gives a background to a lot of what these people are talking about.
@@tyleryoast8299 Having said that about Bertrand Russell though, although his 'Principia' really does explain, I believe, how 1 + 1 really is 2, I think the vast majority of people would find it highly complex. But I have never tried to read it so I don't really know.
Stoicism is a good secular philosophy, but when you get to the nitty-gritty of what it means to be stoic, many premises intuitively feel wrong. I think stoicism does a great job of following the wisdom traditions, and there are a lot of good takeaways, but many points of stoicism have been tossed aside for a reason.
It is really hard to make a top 10 philosophy book list. I think Plato's five dialogues is a better starting point than the Republic. Kudos to you for choosing Locke, he is quite an underrated philosopher. Decartes is great, but I feel like not #1. Ok, maybe he is #1 for someone who wants to start getting into philosophy as Meditations is a fantastic book for such people.
"later on JSM discarded his own utilitarianism saying it was garbage" Do you have a source for that? The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy says he remained a utilitarian his entire life.
@@Xob_Driesestig No sorry I must be thinking of someone else. I could have sworn it was jon stuart mill who said he regretted being a utilitarian after he had seen what happened to the ussr, but jsm died before the ussr even started. My bad !! I will edit my first comment. I always filtered out utilitarians and utilitarianism from my mind, so I didn't remember the details. I only really know much about Jeremy Bentham and Peter Singer...and a couple deep ecologists.
So much of Philosophy is a conversation that writers are having with those who have gone before. Kant, for example, is largely unintelligible unless you are already grounded in Hume and Descartes. If I were to make such a list, it would probably consist of the books I believe provide a good basis for understanding Wittgenstein’s Philosophical Investigations. That would, almost by necessity, give short shrift to moral/political philosophy, and also to more modern Continental thinkers. If I have a criticism of your list, it’s that it leans too heavily on the core Empiricists (Locke, Berkeley and Hume). Also, it completely neglects modern Continental philosophy/rationalism post-Kant (Hegel, Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty). That part doesn’t bother me personally as much, since I don’t get much out of those philosophers, but there impact on the “world” of philosophy is pretty much undeniable.
Can you please do more top 10 philosophy books but for certain periods or centuries, like top 10 philosophy books in 20th century or top 10 philosophy books in 19th century and same thing for ancient and medieval philosophy, and also videos for top 10 influential philosophers in every period
A great list, but I’d go for a general introduction before reading any of these books, wonderful though they are. I would recommend Bertrand Russell’s History of Western Philosophy. Published over sixty years ago, it still reads beautifully today; it is full of Russell’s opinions, and provides clear summaries of all books mentioned in your list, save for A.J. Ayer’s Language, Truth and logic.
@@davespb6183imo Durant & Russell both miss the mark and misrepresent a lot in their books. From Durant making it more narrative to Russell's butchering of Hegel. If you want to get an introduction, get an introductory textbook. 1 person trying to write about and describe that make philosophers/philosophies is doomed to fail. Textbooks are the way to go, even if they require a bit more time to get through
Sir im a beginner to philosophy so can you make videos on basic terminology to start journey on philosophy. Terminology like Rationalism , ideolism, empricism , transdentaliam , like tahat.
Nice list! If it were me, a philosophical amateur, putting list list together, I might have done the exact reverse order! 😅 Still, for a unified collection of 10 books, it's an excellent collection. My honorable mentions: The Enneads by Plotinus, After Virtue by Alasdair McIntyre, and Summa Theologica by Thomas Aquinas.
Schopenhauer didn't make the list :( I'm sure if he did all your viewers would see youtube as volition and deny it. safe choice keeping the greatest german idealist off the list.
Rather iconoclastic-no serious philosopher could put Plato anywhere but #1 "The safest general characterization of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato. ` Alfred North Whitehead. And Nietzsche's masterpieces are arguably The Gay Science and the On the Genealogy of Morality. And no one should try to read Kant's three Critiques unless they plan to specialize - his Prolegomena is far easier going and of sufficient depths for all non-Kant scholars. And I have no idea why Ayer vs. Wittgenstein - Ayer is not even in the same planet as these philosophers you list.

Can't believe I'm not in the list.
Absolutely snubbed!!!
I love you schopenhauer!!!
World is cruel, Mr schopenhauer
life is suffering indeed , mr.schopenhauer
At least Hegel didn’t make the list either.

AJ Ayer's theories have been blown out of the water several times. Interesting read though.
@@50deluxe4 Your question doesn't make any sense. Re-word it so I can understand and I might reply.
@@50deluxe4even by Ayer himself. He stated in an interview with Magee that "Nearly all of it were false."
I would add aquinas to this list. He is one of the best
What do you get if you cross Immanuel Kant with Don Corleone?
An offer you can't understand!
Wonderful. It's exactly what I've been searching for.
Can you please do more top 10 philosophy books but for certain periods or centuries, like top 10 philosophy books in 20th century or top 10 philosophy books in 19th century and same thing for ancient and medieval philosophy, and also videos for top 10 influential philosophers in every period
I pinch myself and ask myself all the time: Are you a real person ?
I kissed you so I know youre full of passion and life.
Oh damn, a private text got added here instead !!!

Terminology like
Rationalism , ideolism, empricism , transdentaliam , like tahat.
Descartes as number one is reasonable. Outlines of Pyrrhonism by Sextus Empiricus is the source for skepticism of Montaigne, Descartes and Hume.
Hegel, Philosophical Investigations, and James.
Nice list! If it were me, a philosophical amateur, putting list list together, I might have done the exact reverse order! 😅 Still, for a unified collection of 10 books, it's an excellent collection.
My honorable mentions: The Enneads by Plotinus, After Virtue by Alasdair McIntyre, and Summa Theologica by Thomas Aquinas.
Really thought the first would be Wittgenstein's Tractatus...
Hoping to see the Schoper on this list! Nice way to enjoy my cup of tea.
You're close enough to have nicknames for each other?
Thought Being and Time was in the list ..
Will we ever get a live-action video!?
What an outrageously subjective list and as such quite a liberating one. Just take your picks and feel free to change your mind later on!
Please make video on top 10 philosophy book of eastern philosophy.❤
On the Genealogy of Morality???
The enchiridion by Epictetus
Throughout the whole video up until the final reveal, I was thinking WHAT??! no Descartes???!!
Can we add Spinoza and Epicurus and have it be a Top 12 since they are so relevant to naturalism and our current approach to science??
No Schopenhauer 😴
Where's Being and Time and The Tractatus?
I can't tell if this is intended for beginners, if so you should have excluded kant, or for everyone, if so you should have included hegel
Poetics by Aristotle
Nice! It's not bad to add Martin Heidegger's book "Being and Time"("Sein und Zeit").
fact that bro didnt even include "the world as a will and representation"...
If you’re a functioning absurdist with a dark sense of humor, check out Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk.
1886-a year b4 mary anne nichols murder. nietzsche also published another 1 in September of 1888. Not sure what book that was
Nothing by Paul Ricoeur?
Sartre, Husserl missing
Spinoza
spinoza einstein and schopnhauer have a great life
In California
...you got it all upside down! ?
Schopenhauer didn't make the list :( I'm sure if he did all your viewers would see youtube as volition and deny it. safe choice keeping the greatest german idealist off the list.
Hegel Heraclitus and Marx didn’t make it
How's it going man.
Beyond Good and Evil does not belong on this list lol😂
no das kapital is crazy
You look like Nietzsche if he was a millenial. 😂
In all seriousness, I like seeing other people's takes on the most ground-breaking philosophy books.
Great list! disappointed I didn't see Hegel or Leibniz .
Love u 🥰
No Bertrand Russell? I'm out.
❤
Where is Hegel?
who is that? hahahaha
kant understand Hegel😂
Thanks for excluding Hegel .
The matrix
Immanuel Kant more like Immanuel can't disprove the ontological argument for the existence of god 😁😂😂
anyone it was a good joke right 😁

atleast mention Schopenhauer
He mentioned it was largely about western philosophy if I’m not mistaken
@@Sdfghjk442,The video was supposed to be about philosophy, not just western philosophy.
@@achyuthcn2555look at minute 40 onwards. He gives the “core reading material for WESTERN philosophy” in the video
@@Sdfghjk442the video itself is 13 minutes long.
An absolutely terrible list. Putting Berkeley above Kant? lol....Maybe because you don't understand Kant you're unable to appreciate him?
Drop your list here, big man.
1. Kant
2. Schopenhauer
3. Hume
4. Plato
5. Mainlander
6. Cioran
7. Benatar
benatar for real? lmao 😂
Bro it's his list
@@leonschmidt9902
Schopenhauer, Cioran, and Benatar...
Are you okay, man?
So, nothing even remotely new. Just as expected
I would put Nietzsche as the first!
Spinoza
