An excellent summary of a difficult topic. This vid would be really helpful for someone just starting to explore philosophy as it provides a clear and sound intellectual framework into which more detail can then be subsequently housed. This is the kind of vid that demonstrates what a valuable resource Youtube can actually be.

I was exposed somewhat to phenomenology 45 years ago while in university. I thrilled to what I was hearing, but to be honest didn't truly grasp it then and even after seeing this wonderful video, I have trouble comprehending many of the terms used. Over the years I have become much more biased toward science as giving truth. For example - how would something like quantum mechanics ever have been learned from a phenomenological approach? Even by my asking this, I am shamefully showing that I don't understand any of this - I can feel that in my heart. Can you please recommend a way forward to begin truly learning what phenomenology is? Specific books to read perhaps? I ask this with the utmost sincerity. Thank you very much for bringing us this video.

Short crisp concrete comparative content that contrasts key contexts highlighting substance, style and symbolic aspects affective diverse subject matters.

I like it. But finally, this thing called phenomenology is just words about words.

I just watched this after watching a video on Hamiltonians used in quantum physics, and I must say, philosophers really have lost their importance. When religion was still considered the dominant view of intellectuals and that was a starting point for extrapolating ideas, philosophy had its place. Now? It is just the realm of people who can't seem to cut it in the hard sciences. It rarely provides anything useful except to employ some professors. Anything of importance can be answered in the sciences, not in philosophy classes. I think Descartes added the only verifiable contribution to the field, and everything else has been speculation of no import. You can build any framework you want that is logically consistent within its own per-determined rules, but it won't have any bearing on reality. Reality is far stranger than the type of orderly explanation philosophers try to come up with. And it is much harder, because you must work within the constraints of reality. Philosophers are constrained by no such thing, so they just go off on tangent after tangent that are pointless. I can't think of a single philosopher that has contributed anything meaningful in the last 50 years, while I can think of hundreds and hundreds of scientists. In short, I have very little respect for the field of philosophy, and most people do too.

That's not what it's for and you just leave it on
