Ludwig Wittgenstein (Philosophy of Language 4)
He's sharp. He's cute. He's Ludwig Wittgenstein, one of the most important philosophers of modern philosophy!
In this video we look at his Tractatus, his first major work and only one to be published in his lifetime. Basically we could say that he wanted - just like Bertrand Russell - to find out how our thoughts relate to reality. In an attempt to answer this question he put forth the "Picture Theory of Language".
Philosophy of Language playlist: https://bit.ly/2LkHSyS
I try to give an easily approachable lecture that serves as an introduction to Tractatus. In the second part of the video I examine the task of his logical analysis and portray how exactly he imagined science to construct true sentences of the world by deriving at the so-called "simple objects", the elementary particles of reality. A true sentence, in this view, would be the stated relation between signs for those particles, that would reflect their relation in reality.
The logical empiricists, also known as the "Vienna circle", took the ideas of Tractatus and constructed a very interesting variation of Wittgenstein's ideas, that I will present in the next lecture - on the dispute between Rudolf Carnap and Martin Heidegger.

WITTG
wittgenstein's-diss-track
As you all know, Ludwig was very interested in language and uh rapping, so he rapped a bit and dissed a guy who dissed him (idk something to do with philosophy), so Witty spitted out some quite impressive lines and it's a shame that his lyrical spiritual individuum was forgotten in history :/
Anyways, don't forget that y'all prisoners of your linguistic systems and truth will never be expressed in a human language.
~lyrics~
I don't wanna be that man
who spits a bunch of nonsense 2x
i don't wanna be that man
who doesn't know what the fakz is going on
where his ideas are coming from
if you need a better framework I might borrow you some
what you need is metaphilosophy
then you could see the implicit stupidity
then you could change and adopt some sense
then you could move on to using my lens
that scrutinizes your language
linguistic confiusion got nothing on me
while you're stuck arguing whether a hotdog's a sandwich
i move on and do real philosophy
HAHA BICH
you're hella confused
so let me show the the fly out of the bottle
shall I?
how many angels can fit on the head of a pin
is hitting a baby a sin
what does it mean
if i refer to a thing
and deny that its real
shut the fakz up
whereof cant be talked of
thereof is better to say nothing about
be silent!
you're statements aren't even wrong
they're worse than wrong
cuz they don't mean anything
they empty
not real thoughts
fake thoughts
pseudo statements
you're wasting everyone's time and energy

SCIEN
scientific-realism
Text version: https://bit.ly/2kMVIAz
Are scientific theories true? Or is science merely a tool for controlling the world, while telling us nothing about it?
The answer to this question determines how you are going to view the mind, think about language and talk about the metaphysics of space and time. Where you’re going to position scientific beliefs in your philosophical system will have a significant effect on it.
I present a short introduction to the topic of scientific realism.

HOW D
how-do-beliefs-work-fallacy-fallacy
In this video I talk about how rational beliefs work - I present the fallacy fallacy, which is the assumption that just because an argument is fallacious, the conclusion must also be false. I always found this example to be a pretty neat illustration of how beliefs and the justification of them is supposed to work.
Thanks for watching this video.

PSYCH
psychology-of-language-psycholinguistics
For centuries, we tried to figure out what this thing called "language" does – and how it relates to human thought. This video presents the historical development towards psycholinguistics in philosophy.
In order to answer how our brain and mind relate to the phenomenon, we look at some basic developments in the field.

WHAT
what-is-reality-naive-realism-perception
What is real?
We all have some sort of answer to this question. Is reality the world, as you perceive it? Is reality the objects of science, such as electrons and black holes? Is reality the divine forces that govern the universe, such as imagined by religions and theology? What about numbers and the laws of mathematics? Are they, in some sense, real?
In this video I lay out some influential ideas about reality:
- Naive realism (also direct realism, commonsense realism)
- Representational realism (also indirect realism)
- Scientific realism: Entity realism & Structural realism
- Platonic realism
- Meinong's jungle
- Berkeley's idealism
- German idealism
- Phenomenological idealism.

SAINT
saint-augustine-philosophy-of-language-1
Saint Augustine's philosophy is the perfect starting point for understanding the discussions about language. In a prominent quote he explicates a view of language, that even today seems to be the common way of looking at it.
Philosophy of Language playlist: https://bit.ly/2LkHSyS
This video lecture serves as an introduction to philosophy of language and the various theories that tried to solve the problems of the common-sense view of language.
Future parts will introduce Frege, Russell, Wittgenstein, Carnap and Quine. Please subscribe to stay tuned!
The quote, featured in Philosophical investigations:
"When grown-ups named some object and at the same time turned towards it, I perceived this, and I grasped that the thing was signified by the sound they uttered, since they meant to point it out. This, however I gathered from their gestures, the natural language of all peoples, the language that by means of facial expression and the play of eyes, of the movements of the limbs and the tone of voice, indicates the affections of the soul when it desires, or clings to, or rejects, or recoils from, something. In this way, little by little, I learned to understand what things the words, which I heard uttered in their respective places in various sentences, signified. And once I got my tongue around these signs, I used them to express my wishes."
Very relevant to this video is Wittgenstein's paradox: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHbwr853DSU
