Professor you are tearing it up! Way to just dunk it every damn day. Thank you for being a real philosopher and teaching so many people. I would consider you an honesttagoodness intellectual for your dedication to the work, understanding the art and illuminating it.

Hello Mr.Bonevac, thank you so much to provide your lectures on the internet. I am a medical student in South America and your classes have a huge impact in my views of american culture and philosophy. Still have some regards about some videos of your support on Trump, but over all thank you again and good luck in future projects, hope you reach many more people with your work.

Hello Professor, I am deeply grateful for your video lectures. Thank you so much!
I have a question: I haven't understood how David Hume has proven the absence of necessity of causal relationship between cause and effect? Could you please recommend some reading to clarify this or perhaps, give some insights on this doubt?
(Any inputs from anyone would be highly appreciated.)

[goziennaanamelechi]

Love your videos.
But I've got a question on philosophy pls

[CIVIAN]

Dear professor Bonevac, I have a great interest in the different philosophical(including religious) schools and was wondering if you could maybe produce a series of videos in which you outline them each with their central claims and important implications and then proceed to give the best arguments in favor of that school as well as the greatest challenges it faces as well as how those challenges have been met by proponents of the school. I realize this would probably turn out to be a long series of videos but judging from your previous projects you appear to enjoy these kinds of projects:D If you end up making it I will definitely watch it!

Great video. What’s the into song used?

What are the analytic distinction and arguments against Logical Empiricism by W V O Quine

[ExistenceUniversity]

2:00 There is no such thing as a truth that doesn't tell us anything about the world. All truths are about the world and all things that exist can lead to more truth.

[gabrieladelmann]

Two questions come to mind;
1. As I (perhaps naively) understand it, science is an endeavor to know the world. If analytic statements convey no information at all about the world, why do we even bother studying them (other than perhaps as a footnote), and how can it be that the collapse of the analytic/synthetic distinction led to the demise of logical empiricism, which, in its day, was advocated by very clever people indeed? Why was this distinction so important to them?
2. "Red all over" means "red to the exclusion of any other color, on the entirety of the visible surface of the object". Object O is r and there is no part of O which is non-r. Being green all over would violate the second clause in the conjunction above. Why is this problematic?

[talia]

we want to subtitle for your videos mr.

"Analytic" truths don't exist with "synthetic" truths. A bachelor is a man, so you need to know what a man is, which is done ultimately by the senses. What kind of man? An unmarried kind. What is marriage? An religious or legal arrangement between a couple. Arrangement and couple and wedding are learned by the senses. To learn what a word means typically means that the person has experienced these things with their senses. An alien arriving on earth has no clue what a bachelor is until he monitors our species long enough to see we are pair bonding creatures and some men and some women don't pair bond and can be classified by a concept.
There is no such thing as analytic and synthetic truths, there are just objects and our knowledge of them

[ExistenceUniversity]

Just stop and think about how you learned words in the first place, did you know bachelor before you knew married? No! That makes no sense, so why as an adult pretend we know bachelor by the meaning, when we actually first learned about marriage and then classified people between married and non-married then learned a word to describe a male who is unmarried. So as an adult saying " bachelor" means a whole world of facts about reality.
