This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.
This Core Concept video focuses on Aristotle's work, the Metaphysics and examines his discussion in book 1 of his teacher, Plato's metaphysical doctrine , which centers upon intelligible forms or ideas, which provide a formal cause for material, sensible, plural things.

My videos are used by students, lifelong learners, other professors, and professionals to learn more about topics, texts, and thinkers in philosophy, religious studies, literature, social-political theory, critical thinking, and communications. These include college and university classes, British A-levels preparation, and Indian civil service (IAS) examination preparation

"you can not step in the same river twice" - Heraclitus. Perhaps my favorite philosophical line, though I'm biased as I have spoken the phrase "the only thing constant is change" on many occasions. Simple as it may be understanding change as a fundamental element of nature, perhaps THE fundamental element of nature, is a key to exploring our reality. Defining the changing thing by its ideal or its form makes a lot of sense, since its hard if not impossible to define something ever changing, this video helped to illustrate that point and ties several important ancient thinkers together nicely.
If Heraclitus is right, you probably can't make the same point twice either

Helpful content. Liking to rejig thought along the lines of form and cause.
I'm studying English and Philosophy in college (I think that in America you call them majors?) and your videos helped a lot. I'm in my first year and gettin the hang on everything was dufficult but with these videos I managed to ace all my philosophy assignments soo.... THANK YOU!!!
You're very welcome - and we do indeed call them majors
Thank you so much. Great explanation.
Thanks for posting these videos, Dr. Sadler. Extremely helpful for graduate student instructors such as myself. I did have one procedural question: are your lectures pre- or post-reading lectures? In other words, do you lecture on a particular text before or after the students have read it?
Also, what do you typically assign for introduction to philosophy courses? Exams? Papers? (I coudn't find any of your syllabi online.) Thanks!
I let my students use them however they'd like in face to face classes. In fact, they don't have to watch them at all. In online classes, the videos take the place of in-class lectures
@@sramirez1906 Lots of writing assignments of different sorts, online quizzes, sometimes final exams, projects, discussion forums
@@GregoryBSadler Great! Thanks, Dr. Sadler.
Thanks so much for these videos, they are very helpful. I see they are from 2019. Any chance you will be picking this project back up and continuing with Aristotle's metaphysics?
Someday
@@GregoryBSadler I am content. In the meantime, from one Wisconsinite (Fond Du Lac) to another, thanks again for the content you've shared, and keep up the good work! Peace+
