Wow awesome!! First time I have ever heard the term “essentially contestable” since I first read an intro to political theory while in prison 20 years ago. I always find myself debating politics and history with people who have no idea what has already been debated and decided decades ago.
Glad to hear you edified yourself while incarcerated 👏
You guys should make this series into a playlist since it's the only one released in its entirety

This series was completely mind blowing. Thank you so much for uploading these.
Incredible lecture Dr. Staloff, thanks for sharing Dr. Sugrue!
Great series! It certainly touched on questions which I toss over in my own mind. I will definitely revisit it.
Awesome lecture! This lecture has been an absolute favourite and I'm going to destroy the replay button! Thanks for this gift!
Never thought Andrew Garfield could deliver such great lectures.
Shame about the audio, great stuff
"precisely because, culture does not mirror the world, it constitutes the world"
Okay!
Which course is this from? I think it's from a course that I only owned on cassette so never saw the video version, it's definitely not from the "Great Minds of the Western World"

24:26 But wasn't Woodrow Wilson wrong? There was no war that would end all wars in his time, not in the positive sense. What would be the context there?
There's always a coherent center to reality we can aim for, we will sometimes miss, but why internationally miss? When the miss is "intentional", that's a clear sign of ideology, not science.
Exactly my thought. The first half of this lecture made my “Frankfurt school” alarm go off. Muh “Science using objective truth is responsible for universal injustice” Adorno style thought.
@@GrimDarkHalfOff Or Foucault's assertion that reality is a social construct unrooted in any materialism, so go "invent yourself". He did, then died from "material" reality.
@@GrimDarkHalfOff a Frankfurt school alarm? Sounds cool, where do I get one. The Frankfurt school is awesome. It seems like your might be one of those cultural marxist believers tho, which is nothing but a racist conspiracy theory. Or you listen to Jordan Petersons non-sense trying to claim the Frankfurt school and Critical Theory is an evil ideology thats taking over. Instead of a relatively obscure school of thought and mode of analysis that hasnt had much of an impact outside of grad schools. Peterson and others are just unhinged, people like him dont have a clue what they are talking about. Their is no ideology in any of this. The only people who try and pretend like any of this is some ideology people are trying to follow, are the same kind of clowns who think Marx is responsible for hundreds of millions of death. It shows a fundamental misunderstanding of history and the related philosophy. If i was a betting man, id say you voted Trump.

Pretty sure I’m in love

I think you have misrepresented science in the start of the lecture. There are many scientific paradigms, but there is only one scientific method. Some sciences use mathematical models, other use models based on categories or similar, but all use a method of observation, hypothesis making and testing.
Formally, yes the scientific method remains a universal. Of course, at it's most formal, all sciences are unified methodologically by their appeal to experiment and statistical analysis. Yet the content and practice of that method in each science differs so greatly, that to say they share a common method in the fullest sense won't hold much water. Aristotle acknowledged this by stating in various places that the mode of enquiry is determined by its object.
I agree. True sciences should follow the scientific method. There are applied sciences, and there is pseudoscience, etc... But in my opinion, true science should follow the scientific method with experiments run in strictly controlled environments and theories derived from clearly defined and repeatable results. I've always felt "political science" a misnomer.
I don't think so. Study philosophy of science.
@@whiskyngeets how about the human sciences? You still need to study philosophy of science.
Philosophy is still considered a science in many parts of the world, yet with how diverse it is, you'll find that not every Philosophy of X will fall under the scientific method. I disagree.
So- I’m supposed to watch a 45 min. video with “heterogeneity” in the title. Sure, that’ll happen,.
How disappointing. This man clearly never did any natural science.
