A Little Creek at Table In The Wilderness Camp in Wyoming | At Wyoming Stoic Camp 2024 Gregory B. Sadler 2024-05-14 | This Youtube short is a view of a little creek winding its way through the aspens and pines that caught my attention as I was ambling around the Table In The Wilderness Camp near Centennial, Wyoming.

This Core Concept video focuses on Nishitani Keiji's work The Self-Overcoming Of Nihilism, and specifically on the Appendix to the work, titled "The Problem of Atheism". He analyses two main philosophical atheistic approaches to religion, that of Marxist humanism and that of Sartrean existentialism, and points out inadequacies to both of these positions, particularly when examined in relation to Mahayana Buddhism. Nishitani also suggests that a reappropriated and reinterpreted Buddhism can offer a position that engages with nihilism but also goes beyond it in manners that also go beyond Western self-overcomings of nihilismIf you'd like to support my work producing videos like this, become a Patreon supporter!

This Core Concept video focuses on Nishitani Keiji's work The Self-Overcoming Of Nihilism, and specifically on chapter 9, "The Meaning of Nihilism for Japan". Nishitani claims that nihilism has become a significant cultural problem in post-World War II Japan, and that merely returning to a previously robust tradition undergirded by (Mahayana) Buddhism and Confucianism will not be by itself sufficient. Instead, that tradition has to be reappropriated and reinterpreted from the point of view of the present and the future in order for it to possess any genuine potentialityIf you'd like to support my work producing videos like this, become a Patreon supporter!

G.W.F. Hegel | Master Slave Dialectic | Making Sense Out Of “Life” Gregory B. Sadler 2024-05-07 | This is a short selection from one of my Introduction to Philosophy classes taught at Marist College, a session which was focused on the Self-Consciousness section of G.W.F Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit, specifically on the "Master-Slave Dialectic". This is a bit of an introductory-level lecture, intended to help students who have no background in philosophy better understand this rather difficult text.You can find the full lecture this short is taken from here - youtu.be/6Fi7g5Ncy5UIn this short bit which is from midway through the lecture, I discuss two different senses that we can give to the term "life", one of which is general or abstract, the other of which is more precise, but also messier when we consider what it refers toYou can find the full playlist for the Intro to Philosophy course videos here - youtube.com/playlist?list=PL24E8CD3214E5C748You can find all of the 370+ videos in the Half Hour Hegel commentary series linked to, and organized by sections here - medium.com/gregory-b-sadler-ph-d/the-half-hour-hegel-series-7af8b459c8a5You can also find my playlist of other videos on Hegel here - youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4gvlOxpKKIjEEG_o_XRqamupE-M5Fka-#shorts #Hegel #Phenomenology #Spirit #Dialectic #Philosophy #Idealism #Consciousness #Reason #Master

We range quite broadly, sometimes exploring resources from philosophical traditions like Stoicism, Aristotelianism, Existentialism, among others. We focus on both understanding theory and key ideas, and on experimenting with philosophies in practice, or philosophy as a way of life. We discuss social, political, ethical, relationship, dating, and workplace issues. We also occasionally answer listener questions, or focus a show on untangling moral dilemmas found in AITA posts. We have also done interviews with guests ranging from academic philosophers to NFL football players. And we sometimes stray over into literature and popular culture, for example, in looking at Philip K. Dick's works.#Radio #Philosophy #Life #Advice #Practice #Epicureanism #Cynicism #Stoicism #Utilitarianism #Existentialism

This Core Concept video focuses on Nishitani Keiji's work The Self-Overcoming Of Nihilism, and specifically on on his discussion in chapter 1 "Nihilism As Existence", of what he terms "European nihilism". Although nihilism remains in part a trans-cultural and trans-historical phenomenon, it arises in a complex and active way within the ongoing development of modern European culture. A nihilims that overcomes nihilism also arises out of that as well. None of this means that nihilism can be put off as a merely European problem, however, particularly for Japanese culture.If you'd like to support my work producing videos like this, become a Patreon supporter!

This Core Concept video focuses on Nishitani Keiji's work The Self-Overcoming Of Nihilism, and specifically on his discussion in chapter 1 "Nihilism As Existence", focused on how human beings are situated in history, and how nihilism arises not just as a trans-historical possibility, but within a particular historical context, that of modern Europe. This requires that not only does nihilism need to be understood from within a philosophy of history, but that it must also enter into and inform that philosophy of history itself, transforming it in the process.If you'd like to support my work producing videos like this, become a Patreon supporter!

This Core Concept video focuses on Nishitani Keiji's work The Self-Overcoming Of Nihilism, and specifically on his discussion in chapter 1 "Nihilism As Existence", which distinguishes several unproductive and inadequate approaches to nihilism, and then frames nihilism as a problem of the self. He notes that the self can be broken into two selves, one which observes and questions, the other which is observed and questioned, but that this bifurcation remains a problem, which then calls to be resolved through actual existence and passionate thinking.If you'd like to support my work producing videos like this, become a Patreon supporter!

Some people mistakenly draw the inference that if a philosopher's thought or work is criticized by someone else, that this automatically means that there is something wrong with that philosopher.I look at the fears or anxieties that this may be reflective of, for example that one will be wasting one's time studying the philosopher who gets criticized. I also call into question assumptions that people make, not least of which is that the criticism or "critique" is actually well-informed, accurate, relevant, or fair. I also examine a number of different forms or modes that "critique" or criticism can take.If you'd like to support my work producing videos like this, become a Patreon supporter!

Sometimes these might connect with my profession as a philosopher, but often that won't be the case.In this video, I continue the story of my involvement with libraries, narrating my use and enjoyment of libraries and the resources they offer and curate. This video picks up with my engagement with libraries during my years as an assistant professor at Ball State University in Indiana (teaching in the extended education program at Indiana State Prison) and Fayetteville State University in North Carolina. I made extensive use of several college and university libraries in that time, not only to prepare the wide range of classes that I taught but also for my own research and publication. I also began giving public lectures at local libraries as a form of service to the public while at Fayetteville State University. This covers the years from 2002 to 2011The libraries that I used and benefitted from the most were:Ball State University Bracken LibraryUniversity of Notre Dame Hesburgh LibraryFayetteville State University Charles Chesnutt LibrarySt. Anselm College Geisel Library (home of the St. Anselm collection)Cumberland County Headquarters Library in Fayetteville, NC#Storytelling #Narrative #Memories #Library #Books #Education #University #College #Research #Publication

Voltaire Didnt Say these | Ten Fake Quotes Misattributed to Voltaire | Dont Be Taken In By These! Gregory B.

And they're bad business for brains! Don't be a sucker for these by believing them uncritically, and don't repost quotes you're not sure are actually by the thinker they're attributed to, or you're making yourself part of the problemIn this video, I identify ten fake quotes that are not by the author. They are often attributed to Voltaire (François-Marie Arouet), but which we see falsely and frequently attributed to him in quote pages, images, and videos. I not only discuss where the quote originates from (when we know), but also why each of them is something Voltaire wouldn't have said, based on what we know he did say in his existing texts. Here are the fake quotes we're calling out in this video:1. "To determine the true rulers of any society, all you must do is ask yourself this question: Who is it that I am not permitted to criticize?" or "To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize." (from white nationalist Kevin Alfred Strom) 2. “I don’t agree with what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” (from Evelyn Beatrice Hall. Also misattributed to Voltaire by Norbert Guterman)3. "There is no God, but don't tell that to my servant, lest he murder me at night. (misattributed to Voltaire by Yuval Noah Harari)4. "Life is a shipwreck, but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats" (interpretative summary of Voltaire by Peter Gay)5. "Cherish those who seek the truth but beware of those who find it" (from André Gide)6. "Judge a man by his questions rather than by his answers" (from Pierre-Marc-Gaston, duc de Lévis)7. "Nothing can be more contrary to religion and the clergy than reason and common sense" (from Paul-Henri Thiry, Baron d'Holbach)8. "With great power comes great responsibility" (from collection of the decrees made by the French National Convention)9. "No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible" (from Stanisław Jerzy Lec)10.

His answer is that "mobilization of psychic drives basically freed of unconscious conflicts" would be needed.

We range quite broadly, sometimes exploring resources from philosophical traditions like Stoicism, Aristotelianism, Existentialism, among others. We focus on both understanding theory and key ideas, and on experimenting with philosophies in practice, or philosophy as a way of life. We discuss social, political, ethical, relationship, dating, and workplace issues. We also occasionally answer listener questions, or focus a show on untangling moral dilemmas found in AITA posts. We have also done interviews with guests ranging from academic philosophers to NFL football players. And we sometimes stray over into literature and popular culture, for example, in looking at Philip K. Dick's works.#Radio #Philosophy #Life #Advice #Practice #Ethics #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Persons #Humanity

Sometimes these might connect with my profession as a philosopher, but often that won't be the case.In this video, I continue the story of my involvement with libraries, narrating my use and enjoyment of libraries and the resources they offer and curate. This video picks up with my college years at Lakeland College (1990-1994), the year of work and living in Milwaukee (1994-1995), and my masters and doctoral studies at Southern Illinois University (1995-2002).The three libraries that were the most important for me during that era were Lakeland College's John Esch Library, Milwaukee Library's Central Branch, and Southern Illinois University's Morris Library. I spent a lot of time in each of those, making use of the space, their collections, and the periodicals. In the case of the SIUC Morris Library, this was my introduction to a genuine research institution.#Storytelling #Narrative #Memories #Library #Milwaukee #Books #Wisconsin #Education #Illinois #School
G.W.F. Hegel | Master Slave Dialectic | Adapting Ourselves To A World Of Objects Gregory B. Sadler 2024-04-11 | This is a short selection from one of my Introduction to Philosophy classes taught at Marist College, a session which was focused on the Self-Consciousness section of G.W.F Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit, specifically on the "Master-Slave Dialectic". This is a bit of an introductory-level lecture, intended to help students who have no background in philosophy better understand this rather difficult text.You can find the full lecture this short is taken from here - youtu.be/6Fi7g5Ncy5UIn this short bit which is from early on in the lecture, I discuss the relationship between the human subject and the world of objects they inhabit. These objects are resistant to the desires and plans human beings have, and in their engagement with these objects they learn about those objects, the world, and themselves, and adapt themselves in the processYou can find the full playlist for the Intro to Philosophy course videos here - youtube.com/playlist?list=PL24E8CD3214E5C748You can find all of the 370+ videos in the Half Hour Hegel commentary series linked to, and organized by sections here - medium.com/gregory-b-sadler-ph-d/the-half-hour-hegel-series-7af8b459c8a5You can also find my playlist of other videos on Hegel here - youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4gvlOxpKKIjEEG_o_XRqamupE-M5Fka-#shorts #Hegel #Phenomenology #Spirit #Dialectic #Philosophy #Idealism #Consciousness #Reason #Master
Poul Anderson, On Thud and Blunder (Doing Fantasy Worldbuilding Right) | Speculative Fiction Studies Gregory B. Sadler 2024-04-10 | Read Of Thud And Blunder - sfwa.org/2005/01/04/on-thud-and-blunderSupport my work here - patreon.com/sadleror Buy Me A Coffee - buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMPhilosophy tutorials - reasonio.wordpress.com/tutorialsTake classes with me - reasonio.teachable.comThis is a video in my Speculative Fiction Studies series, which examines and analyses key aspects of classic and contemporary works in the genres that fall under the broad rubric of speculative fiction. This includes fantasy, science fiction, horror, alternate history, weird, cyberpunk, utopian, post-apocalyptic, and superhero fiction, among other genresThis video focuses on Poul Anderson's 1978 essay "Of Thud And Blunder", which begins by parodying a passage of swords and sorcery fantasy. While making exceptions for L. Sprague de Camp, Fritz Leiber, and J.R.R. Tolkein, Anderson criticizes many of the heroic, historical, or swords & sorcery fantasy fiction for engaging in bad storytelling. He charges them with oversimplifying, not engaging in needed research, and not devoting thought or common sense to their story writing. He discusses a number of different matters that a fantasy author should attend to, including: social classes and the lives of producers, the nature of pre-modern cities, diseases and sanitation, politics and religion, travel by land and water, and arms, armor, combat, and poisons.If you'd like to support my work producing videos like this, become a Patreon supporter!

Sadler Telling Stories 62 | Recalling Libraries Important In My Life From Childhood To 20 Years Old Gregory B. Sadler 2024-04-09 | Request personal videos on Cameo - cameo.com/gregorybsadlerSupport my work here - patreon.com/sadleror Buy Me A Coffee - buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMThis is the sixty-second in a series of videos in which I engage in some storytelling about my own personal experiences, relationships, realizations, and life. Sometimes these might connect with my profession as a philosopher, but often that won't be the case.In this video, I tell the story of libraries that were important places and resources in my early life, from early childhood through to my 20th year. These included local ones, such as the Delafield, Waukesha, and Central Milwaukee libraries, and school libraries, particularly those at Wales Elementary and University Lake School. Going to and spending time at the library was something we did regularly as a family, and also something I did later entirely on my own.I probably checked out thousands of books from school or public libraries in those fifteen years. They included works in genres like fantasy, horror, adventure, and science fiction, as well as works on history, fishing, fireworks, philosophy, religions, painting, and other topics.Here are videos telling further parts of the story connected to this one:Sadler's Stories 12 | Vacuuming The Library During My First Year At University Lake School - youtu.be/MNDcBZ38RzwSadler's Stories 14 | My Great-Uncle Hubert Lemrise | One Of The Best-Read People I Have Ever Known - youtu.be/c77eWRric2YSadler Telling Stories 58 | My Fascination With And Enjoyment Of Fireworks From Childhood Onward - youtu.be/gbSGaH9o-7E#Storytelling #Narrative #Memories #Library #Milwaukee #Books #Wisconsin #Education #School #Literature
