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.

LANGU
language-games-philosophy-of-language-7
We might think of language as a tool to connect different ideas - when we talk about the meaning of a sentence, we might feel the urge, like many great thinkers thorough history, to break that sentence apart (logically analyse it) into elements that constitute it.
Philosophy of Language playlist: https://bit.ly/2LkHSyS
Ludwig Wittgenstein, one of the great thinkers of the 20th century, proposed that when we talk about what words mean, we should drop those old-fashioned attempts to analyse language, as if it were some rigid logical system waiting to be fully discovered, and rather focus on what he called “language games”.
In this video we look at this notion and examine some practical situations where the concept might be useful.

CARNA
carnap-against-heidegger-philosophy-of
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.

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.

PRIVA
private-language-philosophy-of-language
Language. It’s as if each one of us would be given a box and we would refer to the thing that’s in the box as a “beetle”, but we could never peek into other people’s boxes and neither could they peek into ours. So, when we say “beetle”, how do we know that we’re talking about the same thing?
Philosophy of Language playlist: https://bit.ly/2LkHSyS
This is the 8th lecture on my Philosophy of Language series. Last time we talked about Ludwig Wittgenstein's notion of Language Games and how it can help us understand language. Today we're looking at Wittgenstein's consideration of the possibility of a private language, a language that is in principle incomprehensible to others. Can we ever truly understand each other?

I HAV
i-have-painted-my-room-to-hegel
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
