As a brazilian I can assure you: We do not live in the world of forms.

It all comes full circle. Something gets big, we question it, then the question gets big, so we question the question. Time to question Postmodernism.

The ideal title of the video should be 'history of all western philosophy' because you left eastern philosophies untouched.

For anyone wondering why Descartes' logic couldn't also mean God is infinitely evil as well as good - It's pretty straightforward: Evil is not the opposite of goodness so much as it is the total lack OF goodness. Good can exist regardless of evil, but evil by definition presumes the existence of Good - it is dependent on it. Ergo it is not possible for a being of infinite goodness to be any flavor of evil, much less "infinitely so".

I am really liking this channel. My cousin in law is Presbyterian and involved in Chaplainary services in the military. Having been a prior Roman Catholic and then an Atheist I am again a Christian and just got done with my first Presbyterian church service. It's nice to meet relatable people.

I like the notion that the essence of an object isn't within the object itself but rather is the interaction of the object with one's mind.

[Valencetheshireman]

This was brilliant, you do a great job breaking down topics likes this so simple folks (like me!) can understand.

I’m atheist but very interested in theology and may pursue a career in it. Love the simplified format you bring. Thanks dude.

I think one fact you could have included about Alexander the Great was that he was tutored by Aristotle. Imagine, maybe it was Alexander's confidence about the world around him that allowed him to conquer all the way to India? This isn't something the textbooks teach, but the tri-philosophers in Greece, Socrates, Plato and Artistotle, only seem to have their significance because Alexander had paved their academic culture to all of Eurasia. Alexander might owe his sucess to the intellectual labor his tutor might have paved ahead for him.

Also on the subject of postmodernism, one cavet of it is the elimination of grand narratives. Postmodernism is not simply a turn away from God, but away from narratives about humanity at all whatsoever, and this even includes the project of the secular enlightenment. The recent events regarding climate change is a topic to consider. During the enlightenment we sought to conquer nature through industry. Now, nature is poised to conquer us. During modernity, we sought to use the sciences to elevate the species of the homosapien. Now we see that technology had come to chain humanity. Postmodernism is just a general distrust of any project that riles up humanity to a certain cause. This is why perhaps we need to look toward God for a way towards life, rather than any mechanizations or schemes that we conjure up. Not many textbooks can teach us about the ways of the heart, and the Bible and their teachers perhaps has the biggest depository of all human experience known to mankind.

Love how you're bring philosophy to the general public like this!

Shouldn’t this video be titled “History of Western Philosophy”?

[jdypsph]

Bro your last words touch me deeply... Because I have been pondering on that point for long

[hiyok]

this was a really good crash course for some of the figure heads in western philosophy. however, the title of the video is a bit misleading as a lot of western philosophers aren’t mentioned here, and also eastern philosophers aren’t accounted for at all. this is kind of understandable given that you’re a christian youtuber and you probably want to keep things germane to your faith, but the “history of all ideas” part just makes it seem a little disingenuous. like i said, you explained things very well and in a digestible way for anyone that’s wanting a surface level introduction to some of the big names, so you should be proud of that.

I hereby nominate this video for a Really Good Video award.

"The culture of Europe arose from the encounter between the monotheism of Israel, the philosophical reasoning of the greeks and roman law. Pope Benedict XVI

Also what beautiful chorus do you always use when talking about christianity?

It’s important to know that Kant was, in part, inspired to write the Critique of Pure Reason because of the pantheism controversy in which Spinoza’s pantheist philosophy was convincing people that the transcendent God could not exist. Kant’s first critique was written to rationally defend faith itself, instead of taking the irrational “Leap of Faith” as Jacobi proposed in response to Mendelsson (a Spinozist). Christians should definitely educate themselves on Kant so that they can defend themselves from Spinozist attacks, which I predict will happen more in the future given that current forms of “new” atheist arguments aren’t really refuting Christianity at all.

Kinda misrepresented a lot of things. Hegelian dialectics is a bit diffrent, Nietzsche wasn t proposing nihilism, he was trying to work around it, existentialism can be boiled down more to the ideea that essence isn t intristrically existing to an object rather created, and post modernism is way too varried between authors to define it as only deconstruction. Look at Foucault, Deleuze, Althusser, Derrida, etc... and they while all considered post moderniste have quite diffrent topics they cover and ideeas they create. I reccomend " What is philosophy?" By Deleuze as a good intro to a post modern author. Also you kinda skipped over the analytic tradition, but I get it, it s boring as hell

[learngloving]

really enjoyed this video! fast, informative, and funny. while being deep at the same time. thank you!

As a resident of Wyoming I can confirm it does not indeed exist.
