Thank you for making the show possible. 🙂 Today a cloudy, muddled brain weary from fighting off sickness talks about Sartre's view on the self. Thank you for your patience.

"we choose our friends because they reinforce the way we view ourselves" (Sartre)

Stephen, please tell me you'll do an episode on Alfred North Whitehead at some point. LOVE your podcast. My BA is in Philosophy about (mumble mumble) years ago. This podcast allows me to rediscover old friends and make new ones. It makes me do what I love to do best--think! Thank you!

"Dont let other people's perception become your reality" -Marcus Lutrell (unless you like their perception i guess)

And that's why some of the best novels show characters faced with a crisis during which they discover (much to their surprise) an often shocking side of themselves (eg., Conrad's Lord Jim).

🤣 the beginning of the episode

[@seanpatrickrichards5593]

the "self" is such a weird concept.. reminds of a Star Trek episode where they keep replacing part of this guy with machine parts, and Dr Crusher says "at some point they stop being the person they were".. yeah, the soul or self seems like nonsense to me, malarky! a hondpodge of changing input and influences. Look, i'm talking like Stephen West after listening to his podcast for hours.. that seems to be how it goes.. How much can a thing be a thing in a constantly changing world? Its like watching a wave move across the ocean and calling it a constant thing even though the water that makes it up is constantly different.. but as long as we have fingerprints, a social security number, and facticity i guess thats kinda how we are.. (Hey: The words you are thinking right now are the words i'm writing... so are you still the free author of your thoughts, or are we interconnected.. seems like the latter to me, an interconnected changing everything parsed entities by words.. i could be wrong tho.. plato thought i was wrong.. i feel crazy i'm going to walk my dog Charlie)

Hi Stephen. You are doing an amazing job but I think you should turn up the volume a little bit. It is hard to hear it without headphones.

If you say that something is a social phenomena rooted in Christianity, as you describe in the first section of the video, you need to prove that by contrasting that social phenomena with other time periods or non-christian cultures. Or else who’s to say it is not universal, or rooted in some larger structure

oh my god this is just the last episode of Evangelion

Random question: do you believe Alan Watts should be considered a philosopher?
