This whole channel is an absolute gold mine. Clearly expressed and accessible, I have learnt so much from these videos - thank you.

Thanks so much for these videos, especially your [Philosopher] in X minutes series. Watching them before diving into a dense philosophical tome has helped me pluck out themes and ideas I might have otherwise missed.

Thank you so much! I'm doing a research assignment on existentialism and I couldn't understand anything until I watched your videos. I'd always seen philosophy as boring, but with your explanation I got more interested and now I want to know more. You really motivated me to keep investigating and not give up on the assignment. Again, thank you so much, I appreciate this a lot.

Greetings from Perú!

Thank you for the book recommendations, I've added a lot to my Goodreads queue. I have the Myth Of Sisyphus and Existentialism is a Humanism coming in the mail in the next few days.

In the line of non mentioned "Reductive Existentialists, we can refer to Baha'u'llah and His son Abdul-Baha, who are the founder of Baha'i Dispensation. Founded on unity in diversity of mankind, based on existentialism in birds-eye view to achieve it through "Perceiving in multi-diemtional" mindset, where the horizon is border free as well as no need for tolerance, since there is no walls to lower or eliminate. That is established in a manner that the causal-factor (God) as well as survival-factor (autonomous soul) could be recognized, both ontologically as well as methodologically, as blueprint. With the resolution that depends on individualism, psychological and psychoanaliticall constitution or intuition.

is there a german version of 'the portable Nietzsche'?

[red_more]

I prefer fiction more than non fiction works and i recommend : Alberto Moravia (Boredom) and the unique novel of Ionesco ( the hermit) and then Imre Kertesz (Fiasco). Thank you for your amazing work, i really enjoyed it !

How about a more "Existentialism for Idiots" entry point, or in my case more "Existentialism for the Terminally Gullible"?

[monophthalmos]

Why is Andre Malraux not included? Lack of philosophical depth? Or would including writers like him make the video too long?

[christinemartin]

Camus' novels "fairly famous"??...??

[mannohneeigenschaften]
