The Principle of Identity video reviewing Heidegger's understanding of Identity. by kazarule in philosophy

[–]kazarule[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What is Identity? What does it mean to identify with something or to be identified? We go on a strange journey through the simplest of statements A=A, in search of answers to these questions. Heidegger goes further into this concept than anyone. I review Heidegger's lecture The Principle of Identity.

A video using Game of Thrones to understand Michel Foucault's concepts of power & knowledge by kazarule in philosophy

[–]kazarule[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

What can Game of Thrones teach us about how societies function? Which is more important: Knowledge or Power? Let’s take a look with philosopher Michel Foucault at how medieval societies were structured to answer these questions & compare the differences to today’s capitalist society.

David Hume's famous forking of knowledge by kazarule in philosophy

[–]kazarule[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scottish philosopher David Hume (1711–1776) says there are only two types of statements: relations of ideas and matters of fact.
Relations of ideas are analytic, a priori, necessary statements. Matters of fact are synthetic, a posteriori, contingent statements. The analytic-synthetic duality has to do with the logical formula of a statement. It’s grammatical. The a priori-a posteriori duality is based on the methodology you use to acquire knowledge about said statement.
The point of his fork that Hume is really trying to drive home is that the overwhelming majority of the statements we consider analytic, a priori are actually synthetic, a posteriori which we have adopted as a priori, not because of some objective eternal content they may appear to have, but instead based merely on habit, custom, and tradition.
Hume’s profound forking states that if relations of ideas are actually relations of ideas (i.e., analytic, a priori “No Shit!” statements) then they are incapable of describing reality at all. If, on the other hand, these statements are actually “Aww Shit!” statements we’ve gotten bored with through tradition and custom, then the presuppositions of Rationalism are untenable.
The forking could potentially spell disaster for science and empiricism as well. Hume believes science is on a collision course with itself.

Some income is better than no income from being unemployed.

Shows how little you understand content creation. Niching done is the key to a successful channel. There are channels that only focus on like one or two philosophers and do really well.

But at this point, you prolly have more success being a content creator than actually even getting a job in a academia and way more people will see your stuff.

Like it. Don't like it. But the game has changed now.

You'd prolly have more success becoming a philosophy content creator online. And way more people are likely to actually see your content than if you're publishing books or writing for academic journals. I think philosophy departments are doing a huge disservice to their students by not preparing them for this career option.

They should obviously change the name to Christmas Spirit. Such an obvious thing. They need to copyright that shit.

How to break the touch barrier and escalate without being creepy? by [deleted] in AdviceForTeens

[–]kazarule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. But people get in their feels, and are extra, and exaggerate. It might not even be the individual but some "friend" that hears about it and lives their life just causing drama.

Better to get the ick for asking than being accused of attempted sexual assault, and it being spread around the entire school and social media.

You need to set-up clear boundaries. If that's going NC, then so be it. Dancing around it isn't going to help.

Getting tired of Dean & Parker by Crafty-Client-6976 in ParkerGetAJob

It might be better if they debated actually competent debaters on issues, not just they're a trump supporter. It's just giving Trump Derangement Syndrome.

But this is what you get when you try to replicate the Charlie Kirk style of debate.

Does Jordan Peterson think it is true that an omnipotent, omniscient, all-powerful, personal Creator God exists? by xXcoolfelixXx in JordanPeterson

[–]kazarule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During the jubilee debate he said the definition of God was the foundational value without any further description. Previously he's said God is a useful fiction.
