Great vid Professor. Thanks for including Held's point of view since so many "intellectuals" out there attempt to swipe feminist views under the rug---deeming them insignificant---when, in fact, they point out the flaws of absolute patriarchy and its side effects on understanding humanity as whole---not just 'MANkind'

I've always felt the Liberal Arts help you understand the world better. Not necessarily prompt one towards political action. Basically the more I read the Great Books the more in awe I was of what humans have accomplished. It made me happier not more "critical".

That is a weberian definition of power.

One that is feared is very much closer to being hated as well. Care must be taken to avoid having the later.

Yes you can go through life and allow circumstances to make you a subject. But what it means to be human is to think for yourself and make yourself into a moral being.

I think this made so many of us feel very seen ❤ Just calling something by its name is so freeing!

Of course that feminist would think that human beings aren't selfish, that's her delusions speaking, and that only shows how much ignorant she is about history and how she forgets that herself adheres to an ideology that seeks the maximization of women interests with minimum effort possible like way they demanded the right to vote without actually having to go to war. And no parents don't what they do to their children because they're benevolent, they do it because they see their children as their continuation to the future and their extended bloodline and also expect them to take care of them in old age and shelter from later loneliness in their life, this without mentioning the pleasure factor of having sex that resultsin hhaving children

Enjoyed how you crystallized this

Are we just ignoring the elephant in the room?

I went into this fully expecting to see that the play within a play meant to work on the conscience of the king is a means of showing that the play "Hamlet" is a piece of art meant to play on the conscience of the audience, as we are equally guilty of metaphorically "killing our brother", "marrying his wife", and "usurping the throne" that rightfully belongs to our "brother's son".

Fantastic video! Thank you.

Yes, and how to compare & contrast Ari with Marcus Aurelius' Meditations, Seneca's Epistulae and Epictetus' Discourses and Enchiridion. They somehow all look the same.

And you have to listen Jorge Rivera-Herrans’s musical “Epic”. He makes sure that part makes you weep and sob your soul out.

One of the best movies about the holocaust is “ Judgment At Nuremberg “. The conclusion of the film points out that “ ordinary,even extraordinary men can be convinced to commit horrendous crimes.” That the crimes committed by the Nazi regime were not done by madmen but by ordinary citizens who supported the regime. It tells the tale of how easily people can be persuaded to do the unthinkable.

Basically science asks how, philosophy asks why

Persephone has a pitch black sense of humor.

Who is your favorite ancient writer or thinker?

Thank you for making great videos. You explain things very well. Thank you.

Soy take

Your channel deserves to be way bigger! Excellent video.

Not only is Iago evil, some queer theorists postulate that Iago is actually a closet gay, who is secretly in love with Othello and got his feelings hurt when he promoted Cassio instead of him

Great video prof! i missed your videos

I love words, literary devices meter and rhythm. The poem is great. BUT Hebrew and Christian mythology and the Bible leave me cold. I can empathize with Satan as far as rebelling against a psychopathic jealous monarch. Mans ignorance is the source of real Evil in the world.

As other philosopher's have brought up, SHOULD happiness be the motivation?

Very helpful and motivating. Thank you

How do you define, "a good person."

Excellent choices :)

Going through treatment for breast cancer right now. Read Audre Lorde's Cancer Journals years ago...and am revisiting her wisdom again as I navigate the excruciating medical labyrinth. Things that she spoke of in the 70's/80's when she wrote this are still true now-50 years later: hospital food is still unhealthy, the way that Cancer, Inc. monetizes this entire treatment process, the push for women to have reconstructive surgery or how great the prosthetics are these days...the misogyny of the system and yet there are practitioners who care deeply. I am very grateful for Audre Lorde's fierce love and focused clarity. She is a powerful voice of truth even 32 years after her passing.

thank you really much!

The most important part of this video comes at the end because Arendt's notion that institutionalised evil exists only in totalitarian regimes, and that it's a new kind of evil, is a delusion. As mentioned, it does indeed exist in any kind of regime, in any kind of organisation. Wall Street, Congress, the Pentagon, the world of banking, the list is endless. Examples from further back i history would include the Inquisition, the genocide of the American Indians, the people of German West Africa, the Tasmanians, etc., which were all organised by bureacrats. It should be especially obvious today, with a genocide being carried out before the eyes of the world, amidst a sea of rhetoric justifying it, and nobody except a few small groups doing anything to stop it.

the movie industry does know something because they DO WORK with the Government.

Not to mention downright psychotic. If you're not restricted by morals or ethics, that what are you willing to do to get your way? Are your lyrics really trustworthy, or are you simply singing off key to stand out in the choir?

Just found your channel and I'm impressed by the way you explained this concept. Thank you!

Foucault does not provide ontological explanation on Power. In my opinion, he tgought that Power appears in any social relations. It does not exist if there is no sociaty. Power is produced in socal relations

Socrates refusing to escape to instead embrace his potential demise reminds me of a screenplay of apostle Paul refusing to follow the men who came to break him out where he asked "by whose authority do you think Rome has power?" the movie even injects many of Paul's words in Luke's testimony of him into the film dialogues, as if he's retelling them for the audience who are familiar. one notably being: "if Christ has not risen, our faith is in vain" in a sense Crito was to Plato like Luke was to Paul

I believe Hannah's banality of Evil is very Jungian - That we must embrace the shadow - or our potential for great evil masks our innate potential for infinite care and compassion... Chesed, a love that takes four and five words in other languages, and we invented one for English.

Hah 😂 your sense of humor is so refreshing

Beautiful video, thank you!

Great Analysis! Thank You ! Makes more sense

Wow! The Panopticon "Correctional Facility" concept is doomed to pervert the view of DETENTION (for Convicts), because it excludes Normative Habitat design (which naturally supports the ORDERLY INDIVIDUAL BETTERMENT of God's Creation). Simply, the concept of DETENTION FOR MALEFACTORS should include the understanding that the Convicts are to be humanely treated in a Normative Habitat (away from law abiding citizen areas, where they break the laws) for the remainder of their sentence (time served). (NOTE: Each DETAINEE DESERVES THEIR OWN SPACE [small cell block house] to self-regulate. The Double Occupancy cell rooms that are common in most Incarceration Facilities are detrimental to the individual Health and Well-being of the detained/imprisoned.) So, I propose that "Open-Air Detention Centers" replace Jails and Prisons throughout the World. Each detainee deserves their own "7ft by 10ft house" (flat-bed trailer unit, including a bed, shelf area, wet bath [toilet/shower combo], and desk [w/ a keyboard for a 7inch tablet to connect to]) in an Open-Air Cell Block (3 house units on one side of a path and 3-4 units on the other side of a path surrounded by a track). Also, each detainee would be assigned a cell block tricycle (to roll around the track). The far ends (corners) of each cell block would include a Fitness Shed (w/ a weight bench, and fitness machine [treadmill]), Basketball Hoop, and Picnic Table (w/ a TV screen above). Furthermore, each "Open-Air Detention Center" would include a Guard Center, and Service Center.

Well, that's great, but perhaps you should freely think of a trade school on the side also 😅

Hello! Some of your videos are very well done! Can I repost them on China’s bilibili? I want more people to see it. The original author and website will be marked clearly! Thanks

Good analysis, although if one has read about Heidegger's authentic/inauthentic man, one will understand that Mdm Arendt's thesis applies not only to totalitarian regimes. Have just watched the superb German film 'Hannah Arendt'. Can only conclude that her understanding is simply too deep and detached for most people to comprehend because she does not allow her own conceit to guide her pen. And what is in fact banal is the banality of what she says. Anyone who has bothered to read Solzhenitsyn's 'Gulag Archipelago' will namely see him describe the evil of Lenin's/Stalin's vast system described in the same way. Once evil becomes institutionalised, it does not become less evil but those who carry it out are not satanic, merely ordinary people carrying out a job in a satanic society. History is full of people who have carried out evil on a vast scale, not as individual monsters but as cogs in an evil machine. More recent examples are, of course, the apparatuses of oppression instituted by all oppressive governments, from the Shah to the Ayatollahs, from the vast network of intelligence agencies in the USA to 'the only democracy in the Middle East'.

I wonder when the relationship between Gertrude and Claudius actually began… It is possible that Claudius is Hamlet's actual father and Hamlet suspects that to be the case.

I’m reading this book right now. The concept of beauty causing us to replicate it was an intellectual light bulb for sure!

Of course, Foucault has some good ideas, but as an allover thesis -- he is full of s*** -- and those who try to weaponize his philosophy, like Marxists, will also be found wanting eventually!

Why are you looking at me like that? Am I on the stand? I will not speak without my attorney present.

Socrates doesnt believe in Gods.. his new god is just one God
