Private Language (Philosophy of Language 8)
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?

ZOOCE
zoocentrism-(environmental-ethics)
This is the second part of my short series of environmental ethics, we look at the animal-centered view, also called Zoocentrism, according to which the environment matters, because it has effects both on humans and other sentient beings (namely, "animals"), and there's no reason to exclude non-humans from moral considerations.

BERTR
bertrand-russell-philosophy-of-language
Russell's philosophy of language dealt a fatal blow to the metaphysical speculations that we have talked about in previous lecture videos. For reference see my previous videos in the playlist.
Philosophy of Language playlist: https://bit.ly/2LkHSyS
Bertrand Russell is one of the most important philosophers of the 20th century. Taking up Frege's quest for constructing an ideal language, he introduced many innovations that kick-started a whole new way of doing philosophy - analytic philosophy.
In his paper from 1905 "On Denotation", Russell analysed the sentence "The current king of France is bald," with which he saved the law of the excluded middle and introduced his descriptivist theory of names, also called Descriptivism.

DOES
does-your-brain-create-the-world-for-you
In this video we ask ourselves whether the brain creates the world for us. Looking at some neurological disorders, we try to figure out what the brain is normally doing to the perceived world. Against an empiristic view that holds that the world is simply projected for us, we present Gestalt psychology, a line of thinking that tried to show how the perceived world is always configured, tranformed, synthesized into certain shapes.

DO I
do-i-have-aphantasia-(vviq)
Vividness of Visual Imagery Questionnaire (VVIQ): https://aphantasia.com/vviq/
What is Aphantasia? https://youtu.be/nKWORcrsahE
The Vividness of Visual Imagery Questionnaire (VVIQ) is the go-to psychometric measurement for researchers studying extreme imagination. It has been said to be an accurate test of the intensity with which you can visualize settings, people and objects in the mind; and is often used to identify aphantasia. On the other hand, the survey suggests, I have hyperphantasia.

ARIST
aristotle-s-tertium-non-datur
Today we'll look at Aristotle's law of the excluded middle and how he formulated it to deny logical determinism, a position that seemingly conflicts with the idea of free choice. We know this today as the "problem of future contingents".
Thanks for watching, if you like the video consider subscribing to the channel.
Keywords: Aristotle, Law of the excluded middle, Problem of future contingents, Free will, Logical determinism, Modal Fallacy, Richard Taylor.
