  • The Top-Down View of Philosophies

    The Top-Down View of Philosophies
    Sep 5 2024
    Join me in this episode, where we discuss a "History & Systems" approach to philosophy. The term "paradigm," as we use it here, comes from Thomas Kuhn's celebrated book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. Using paradigms to think about philosophies is not difficult, though it is very high level. This episode should help you organize philosophy in your thinking, and it pairs well with the episodes from July 4th, 2024 on "the architectonic structure" of philosophy. .

  • The Philosophical Puzzle of Apperception

    The Philosophical Puzzle of Apperception
    Aug 29 2024
    Join me in this episode, where we discuss one of the most important ideas in the history of philosophy: Apperception. The term was invented by Leibniz to characterize Locke's criticism of Descartes, and the term reaches its apex in the thinking of Immanuel Kant. Thinking through the philosophical puzzle of apperception is helpful for clarifying one's metaphysics/ontology, in general, and one's philosophical psychology, in particular. .

  • What Is Space?

    What Is Space?
    Aug 27 2024
    The "Early Modern" period of philosophy is one of the most interesting periods in all of the history of philosophy. In this Episode, we discuss the evolution of the concept of space from 1640 to 1790, listening in as these philosophers - Descartes, Locke, Leibniz, Hume, and Kant - critique and develop philosophical theories of space. Albert Einstein himself praised Immanuel Kant for the "Kantian Copernican Revolution" that opened the door for quantum thinking. .

  • Existentialism vs. Orthodox (Not Practical) Stoicism

    Existentialism vs. Orthodox (Not Practical) Stoicism
    Aug 22 2024
    If we can recognize "hinge points" - paradigmatic differences - between philosophies (for example, regarding their ontologies or soteriologies), it makes philosophizing about them much easier. This episode considers the difference between Existentialism and Stoicism, specifically regarding Amor Fati. I believe Nietzsche deserves the credit for the idea of Amor Fati. This episode gives my reasons why. Please post your questions or comments on The Philosophemes YouTube Channel. Accessible through this Linktree link: https://linktr.ee/philosophemes .

  • What Is Existentialism?

    What Is Existentialism?
    Aug 20 2024
    In this Episode, we provide an abbreviated answer to the question: What is Existentialism? The majority of this episode is a paraphrase of my two-volume set titled, What Is Existentialism? Most people make the mistake of thinking that Sartre's philosophy is the answer to the question: What is Existentialism? But Sartre's philosophy represents only one variety of Existentialism. Famously Heidegger disagreed with Sartre, even though Sartre's book Being & Nothingness was heavily influenced by Heidegger's Being & Time. Of course, any answer to the question "What is Existentialism?" would also need to take, at least, the philosophies of Kierkegaard and Nietzsche into account. Since the 1940s scholars (including those found in the Cambridge Companion to Existentialism) have said there is no such thing as "Existentialism." After hearing this episode, you should have a pretty good idea why they're wrong. . Please post your questions or comments on The Philosophemes YouTube Channel.
