I just stumble upon this awesome man days ago. This is pure gold! Love your brain and personality.
You can see how he tries to get the students to use their own mind.
Thank you!

[WilfridCyrus]

Thanks prof! I'm going to watch the whole course.

[sandragalicia]

@Daniel Bonevac your friendly spirit makes it a pleasure to learn from you

My own philosophy professor used to hit me with the morning star / evening star conundrum. It has finally become clear to me that the Morning star isn’t a thing and it’s not a name, it’s a Description of the relationship between the observer and an object.

Those examples of euphemisms were all from that Geoge Carlin bit on soft language.Great lecture as always.

Thank you for sharing, I really do enjoy your lectures!

@34:14 Could you point someone in the direction of this, talk of reason?

I was wondering whether it’s the case that everyone who knows the referent of H20 also knows what water refers to, but there may be some people who know what water is but do not know that H20 refers to the same thing. The same may be said about Bruce Wayne, given more information, they would also be known as Batman. Is there some element of ‘refinement of understanding’ (in regards to terms having the same relation but differing scopes of meaning)?

I feel so tied to you; I wish I had the privelege of being your student.

[vincentmutale]

thanx for the lectures. I enjoy listening to the lectures and ideas of the great minds

[gda]

think i will go the heidegger / ponty route . thnx for lectures tho
and uv of texas does a great job generally sharing its resources w/o putting everything b/h a paywall
Also ' i went down to the Piraeus' a great first line

It's nice to have a lot of class interaction, but most of time the students are raising great points that are not to the point of the content itself. Apparent the prof. is very knowledgable and can often relate to these ideas, but the whole thing makes the class a bit scattered

[janbolmer]

Thank you for uploading your lectures on YouTube!

Dang I feel so dumb after watching this lecture. I disliked philosophy because it was so pretentious, but after actually learning it it was just like the basic ground that hold other concepts… i guess philosophy is needed not just for ‘life lessons’ but also to live in a present and apply it for better life

I see that there is a reading list, but is there a guide to which materials should be read before which lectures? E.g. I see that Frege is listed under additional readings, but there's no specifics about what texts are required.

23:18 Wish someone had piped up with a "That which cannot be named is not the Holy Dao". See if he'd instinctively bridge the gap to Heidegger.
