A really beautifully done and inspiring lecture! I think I should read some Dilthey from now on!

[mjamesharding]

Don't ever stop, Victor! I love these short explanations!

as a highschooler and philosophy taker who misses many classes because of chronic illness, this guy really saves my grades 💪

Well done. Dilthey reminds us that the natural sciences only answer some questions. The Humanities
address the vast landscape of life which is human experience.

What an amazing teaching lesson. Thank you so much for sharing!

Thank you so much Victor. For the first time in my life I have a clear picture of the values of the humanities and a clearer sense of its different to the natural sciences. And of course why I personally find pleasure in it. Thank you

Dilthey makes the humanities feel important!

Great work. Your channel saved my life the night before my exam. It is not so easy understanding these ideas and philosophies and you did a laudable job making them intelligible for amateurs like me

Fantastic overview of Dilthey, hermeneutics, verstehen, and ideas around historicity. I love learning about 19th century German philosophy.

Wonderful insight in humanities. Now I will try to put my self in author's place to understand his perspective and to see what he could have experienced.
Great talk .

Bravissimo! Excellent! Incredibly clear! Brilliant!

[Nozarks]

So well explained and interesting. I'm now going to read Dilthey. Thank you.

[sapphydunn]

brilliant video! absolutely fascinating theory and explained so clearly and easy to understand. This video has been so useful for my coursework.

I cant say forsure that by reading history we can re-live the experience but i am sure it broadens our narrow perception of religion or politics or something else.

[eSHaOArts]

Many thanks for such good explanation, great work!

[chroloph]

Mooie lezing. Goed gearticuleerd uitgesproken, rustig gebracht. Super ! En zo kan een lastig onderwerp toch begrijpelijk worden.

[kickywicky]

Computers can be technicians but not scientists. Regardless of the subject matter or methodology, a scientist must come up with ideas from her material, just like humanists. The same leap of creativity is required for both scientists and humanists.

Great lecture, please direct me to works of Dilthey that expressly discuss the point that the humanities produce "fully developed" human beings? (mentioned @6:27)

[maliaskro]

what he discribes can be translated into understanding - the meaning of the german word 'Nachvollziehen' would suit his discription more directly. considering that german is a very precise language.

[vinicioceccarini]

Bravo! You speak very well. And i can understand also i don' t speak a good engludh
