This short series of lectures present the different philosophical positions about what ethical commitments we truly have to the environment. In this video, we look at the human-centered view, also called Anthropocentrism, according to which the environment matters, because it has effects on humans.

I have painted my room to Hegel, it's over now.
~Hegel~
wanna understand me better pay for it
cuz I ain't no wasting time for a no-name
it's about the fame
the frame of a great mind
who can go out and find an opportunity
to change history
the great mystery
the spirit who can guide the whole wide world you see
yeah, that is how you do philosophy
you might learn about it if you come with me
to truly see the whole
one must open boF his mind and eyes
pick the bones of all the lies
the abstractions of the masses
the frustrations of your class reach for the TRUE thats hard to grasp
show some class
aim higher
for the absolute
it is time for you
it is time for her
for a synthesis of polar differences
a young gang of invincibles
i don't wanna hear about it
cuz history is over NOW

In this video we talk about Blindsight, a curious, mindboggling, perplexing neurological condition, where blind patients still respond to the movements of objects around them as if they wouldn’t be blind.
The phenomenon is striking, because it clearly challenges the common belief that what you see has to enter consciousness to affect your behaviour.

The voice you're hearing in this video has been 100% artificially manufactured with the help of an AI. Yes, you've heard that correctly! The marvel of contemporary technology has allowed me to transcend my slavic accent!!:)
Incidentally, I'm a philosopher of language :o

Can Norm consistently hold that he's a deeply closeted gay man? The sentence can seen as an example of Moore's paradox, named after the logician and philosopher G. E. Moore.
Philosophical logic playlist: https://bit.ly/2LkHSyS
Given the apparent absurdity of Moorean sentences, we make use of doxastic logic (the logics of belief) to pin down where exactly our intuition comes from.

What if all of the sudden, like in the movie Arrival, weird black eggs drop from the sky and some unknown entity wants to talk to us - beings whose biology, culture, psyche and environment are radically different from ours?
Philosophy of Language playlist: https://bit.ly/2LkHSyS
This video introduces some basic paradoxes of language, most notably through a study on the kids' acquisition of the American Sign Language and Quine's "Radical translation" thought experiment. From there it moves on to the problems, portrayed in the movie Arrival (2016), Polish writer Stanisław Lem's works and NASA's attempts to equip Pioneer 10 and 11 with pictorial messages to extraterresial life - before finally introducing a more general discussion of the possibility of communicating with aliens, explored in André Kukla's philosophical paper from 2008.

Rudolf Carnap was a member of the Vienna circle, amongs other things known for his attack on the philosophy of Martin Heidegger as being a bunch of nonsense.
Philosophy of Language playlist: https://bit.ly/2LkHSyS
In this lecture we look at Carnap's theory of language and what he had to say about Heidegger. Logically analysing various sentences from Heidegger inaguarial lecture at the university of Freiburg "What is Metaphysics?", Carnap tried to demonstrate the meaningless of Heidegger's talk. As an empiricist he tried to establish a connection between immediate perception and the words we use - all of them should be analysable to the so-called "protocol sentences" that relate directly to the elementary sense-data of the world.
