Anyone know any good youtube philosophy channels? Only shit I could find is either >people recording themselves with 240p webcams, >john green's faggot brother, >that 'pop' philosophy crap (School of Life & 8-bit Philosophy - though not excluding John Green) and the only redeeming youtuber; >Eric Dodson youtube.com/channel/UCr8ziBzqZlGAvv4krfAAORQ
any other good video resources to get en/lit/ened?
That his diagnosis was correct, but he had the wrong prescription
t. other Some people seem to be pissed off by Marx no matter what the context
Eli Hernandez
That was horrible. It takes only a small part of Kant's thought and still manages to fuck it up. They show they know nothing by misusing the term "maxim" which is the lynchpin of Kantian ethics. Or saying that Kant was a deontologist when that term did not even exist at the time. Or basically the whole fucking video.
It would be better to skim Wikipedia for 3 minutes yourself, instead of watching a video by someone who did it for you and added mistakes.
rest are shit besides academy of ideas. school of life is okay if you're lazy and want somebody to read wikipedia summaries to you
Ayden Campbell
>Or saying that Kant was a deontologist when that term did not even exist at the time. This is a nonsensical point to make. Yes it is true but it doesn't mean anything. You are literally saying that words can only be used to describe things that existed when those words were used to describe them. Do you see the problem here?
Austin Morris
Watch/listen to some Slavoj Zizek talks.
Gavin Foster
>Slavoj Zizek >Anywhere near the word good
Jordan Cooper
8-bit philosophy is decent though
Leo Morris
What's wrong with Zizek?
Robert James
He might be respected somewhere, but it wasn't at my uni. Literally everyone, student and professor took the piss out of him. It was rand level of hat. I'm pretty sure he only has a reputation amoung the most extreme of the extreme left continental phil departments of second rate unis.
Daniel Turner
Just listen to some of his more popular talks or something.And he's by far the most popular contemporary philosopher.
Eli Jackson
He holds (or held it's been a few years) of being near universally hated by profs but loved by masters and doctoral students. He allow(s/ed) access to a lot of tools and arguments that didn't exist before so was/is p exciting.
And philosophy profs tend to hate everyone and students tend to brownnose so also hate everyone.
>And philosophy profs tend to hate everyone Yes, they hate literally everyone. We both know that this isn't true. To find a single figure hated by an entire department, that's including half a dozen professors and over a two hundred students (about 30 of them being post-grad) doesn't happen unless they are a hack.
Lincoln Young
Holy shit, your whole argument is "well other people don't like him..."
Grow your own brain.
Aaron James
And your argument is... hey you didn't give one. I never said that it was an argument. I never said anything about him or his ideas nor said anything other than what I did. Stop pretending like I did and stop pretending like your post is some paragon of argumentative virtue when you also don't try to prove anything.
Justin Cox
It's like calling people racist or anti-semite because they were born a few hundred years ago, or calling Roman/Ancient Greek men bisexual, or calling Jesus a christian. It betrays a lack of historical understanding and is misleading. It also makes it sound like Kant was just some guy in a long tradition of deontologists.
Just because Kant is a deontologist now, doesn't mean he was a deontologist. Presentism is stupid.
Zachary Martinez
If you are , then you did, and if you are not, then you jumped in with an irrelevant piece of info as if it was any form of argument.
I guess you really don't want to have to think for yourself, huh?
Jaxon Hernandez

It's called "communication" you retard.
Tyler Howard
You could try listening to History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps. It's pretty gud and he has a sexy professor voice (imo), perfect for 'bating.
Carter Jones
This. There epistemology is pretty great- they set up a good map of the different positions people have and their connections. Their video on Modern responses to Skepticism was impressive.
Aaron Long
Im glad someone else listens to this. Its one of the most convenient and in-depth sources for Islamic Philosophy IMO.
Samuel Bell
He's not a "hack", his writings about ideology are incredibly important. His political opinions and lectures about every minor thing in existence through a pseudo-leftist prism are just terrible - and they are most of what he is doing nowadays.
Grayson Smith
>wanting philosophy literally explained to you
Jesus fucking Christ. You're as bad as those stupid faggot manchildren that watch other people play video games.
Ethan Baker
nice one 3dgelord
Brandon Ramirez
>those stupid faggot manchildren that watch other people play video games. Literally only NEETs and autists have said this.
Andrew Taylor
school of life is decent as well, given that it's not meant to be a substitute for reading philosophy. This guy wants someone to spoon feed him while at the same time fulfilling his need to be taught by a medium that doesn't make this spoon feeding too obvious - in case it damages his delicate sense of pseudointellectualism.
Austin Hughes
Came here to post this. Really interesting and in depth stuff.
Also some user posted this series a while ago and I like it so far.
WiPhi!!! youtube.com/user/WirelessPhilosophy This is essentially SEP in YouTube form. Every philosophy major should watch this channel on subjects of their interests.
Michael Smith
1) Brian Magee's interviews 2) Logic Lane 3) Arthur Holmes lectures
Ian Torres
eventually european graduate school when youre knowledgeable about contemporary continental philosophy
otherwise just youtube a philosophers name - youll probably always encounter one or two good videos
stay away from those 4 min pop-philosophical ''utilitarianism in a nutshell'' things for the love of god
William Miller
Ollie jacks off to Marx when he isn't making YouTube videos.
Gabriel Ortiz
To be fair, you don't need more than 4 minutes to explain why utilitarianism is retarded.
Justin Hughes
read books faggot, retarded short clips on youtube aren't good for anything
Christian Torres
>gregory sadler this guy is good
Lucas Sanders
>good youtube philosophy
This didn't make me laugh out loud, but it elicited a warmth that almost made me smile.
The motivation to link to that does not compel me to do so.
Alexander Taylor
>what is a lecture
Landon Davis
>referring to higher education settings on Veeky Forums
You'll just confuse people.
Jayden Butler
Veeky Forums's funny like that. I'm super intellectually intimidated by Veeky Forums at times yet sometimes it feeds my ego, to my detriment obviously.
Chase Nelson
>intimidated by a bunch of aspies posturing over the work of men who would spit on them
Isaiah Russell
Just flip those feelings around and you'll have it made.
Liam Ward
to be kind-swans
Brody Anderson
>>wanting philosophy literally explained to you
I don't see the problem here
Alexander Thomas
what I mean is when I have the occasional actual, intelligent discussions with Veeky Forumsizens I can tell that they're well read and sophisticated.
Mason Cooper
There's a quiet minority of people on Veeky Forums with relevant qualifications or (less commonly) a good knowledge of whatever people are discussing through non-conventional education, but you can tell that it's mostly dilettantes reading for big boy points.
Ryan Sanders
yeah, and I always find it helpful to talk to those people. Healthy dose of humbling, you know?
though it probably doesn't help with my inferiority complex
Brandon Edwards
"watching" philosophy is pretty much the plebbiest shit possible, even worse than reading philosophy. Socrates was right.
Kane B has pretty comprehensive takes on the modern debates, his voice isn't too annoying and if you can't be arsed to sit through the whole thing he types the important bits on the powerpoint thingie.
You are retarded, he made a point and your way of comparing things is as retarded as you are. Think about it
Lucas Jackson
I think you described your way of comparing things.

Anthony Gray
Dr Gregory Sadler is pretty good. He has a series of lectures explaining different Platonic dialogues, as well as a series in which he analyses each paragraph of the Phenomenology of The Spirit for half an hour. A good podcast series, which I would strongly recommend, is this: historyofphilosophy.net/ although they're still in medieval philosophy. Another podcast is: partiallyexaminedlife.com which is good too.
Tyler Barnes
The video on Kierkegaard was utter cancer. They never mentioned the fact that he wrote in different pseudonyms and there was loads of 3edgy5me atheists in the comments who though they were smarter than him.
Luis Lewis
what the fuck is TBK?
Nathaniel Miller
your first day here?
Aaron Allen
school of life comment section is maximum tipping
Jose Myers
Brothers Karamazov? That's not a philosophical treatise.
Matthew Thompson
Stop hating, haters.
Joshua Lewis
It's fucking bullshit, they didn't even mention the dictatorship of the proletariat out of all things to exclude.
Joseph Robinson
>you don't need more than 4 minutes to explain why ... is wrong With that rigorless mindset philosophy is not for you, boy.
Luke Smith
>il ne l'est pas
William Gonzalez
A "rigorless" mindset would include one that determines what is right and wrong for other people.
Jonathan Rogers
Wrong.
Luke Wood
youtube.com/watch?v=UUulxkAk68o Sadler is an actual professor, so don't expect quick edits or animations. But he describes things meticulously.
Joseph Price
Rigorfull?
Michael Young

Robert Garcia
Philosophy Tube is decent. Greg B Sadler is really great for certain ancient and religious philosophers.
Brandon Flores
blasphemy!
Tyler White
Look for university lectures
Grayson Cruz
Good idea, actually.
Cameron Nelson
Got any recommendations? I'm looking for a survey book to get my feet wet. Not in college and too busy to read the whole Western canon.
Jose Phillips
>We both know that this isn't true. Philosophy is p much the cliqueiest subject in any given English speaking university. For the most part they have super special access to so and so's true thoughts unlike such and such group of hacks. Other academics are often also like this it just happens a bit more in Phil departments.
Nathan Carter
I was a freshmen in college and was assigned a lecture for my intro phil class. It was a defense of determinism and shit. I came out of there so confused.
