Branches of philosophy: Metaphysics, epistemology and ethics

This is a first introductory tutorial on what philosophy is about. I discuss the main branches of philosophy (metaphysics, epistemology and ethics). More "Jan Academy" tutorials can be found on my "Jan Academy" channel (click on "janwillemlindemans") or in the "Jan Academy" playlist (which you should see too). Enjoy it!

I cannot even explain how much this helped me. Thank you!

[osbertnamafente]

Very simplified explanation, thank you!

[el-mehdibenchaib]

Thank you very much for the video I love philosophy and I was always seeking to understand things through philosophical mind. Now I can distinguish between the questions that I ask in my daily life. Thanks!

There is one more branch of philosophy and that is logic...

[jamierussell]

What? How? And why?
That's what each branch is and then they combine to get an absolute.
Thats a person, it exists as a human being and acts the way it does following its ethical code

[mikeglloyd]

A good introduction, it raises questions, but that is what philosophy is about
Thanks

I just looked it up in the Oracle of the Interwebs:
Wikipedia
Ontology is primarily about the existence of entities - as in sentient.
Metaphysics is primarily about the existence of non-sentient things and abstractions.
At least that is how I understood it.

Epistemology-study of knowledge Metaphysics- ultimate reality. Basically a giant list of what you believe is real.

I truly like this video. For the first time, I realize that philosophy is perhaps not really what I thought it was-asking why on anything ...for the homework, I still have to think about it...

[Praful-cxur]

please can you make videos on western philosophy? it will be very useful...your way of explaining is brilliant

[traceler]

Logic and ethics Ethics are among the main branches of philosophy since Greek times, also the study of Beauty, epistemology, Natural phylosophy.

[fathimafathi]

Please can you make definition of philosophy and origin of philosophy

[igweola]

I love the linkages and the manner of demonstration that followed this introductory aspect of this course. at least i learnt a lot from this teaching- Metaphysics-Epistemology-Ethics, all are entirely related and all gives birth to philosophy even though philosophy is the thing itself.

So hratefulni found this channel. I would love nothing more than to be able to afford classes only ones im interested in and just munch up all this knowledge. Hard finding intelligent conversation in my current reality..I tend to annoy ppl when it comes to things im interested in I cant believe the breakdown of philosophy..it is my ❤

[靡靡之音-yi]

What about dialectics and materialism?

[DarkMoonDroid]

I like what you're doing here. Thank you.
I was thinking about this earlier and came up with an equation to start off with:
Self-organization (distinguishing marker of life)
+
Avoidance of pain/Pursuance of pleasure
=
?
That ? can go from ethics to crime. What determines the identity of ?
One of the environmental pressures which can be plugged in is the reaction of the community around you to your choice. But this is void in the case of the psychopath. The exception provides data.
What is it?

[kittykat-oolm]

I see I'm not alone when I ask myself these questions. I wonder to much. And have always, even when I was much younger, wanted to know deeper on why?

[sadiabukhari]

Sir how these branches play role in the process of curriculum development? Kindly explain with concrete examples.

[clarittana]

OH God I have a test next week, and I'm still not getting this shitology

[EngGear]
