--------- Channel Details ---------
This channel features videos about big ideas in philosophy, explained as simply as I can. The focus is on late 19th and early 20th century thought, with a particular emphasis on the British Idealists (e.g. F. H. Bradley, J. M. E. McTaggart) and early analytic philosophers (Gottlob Frege, Bertrand Russell, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and Frank Ramsey). Welcome to the channel!
--------- My Details---------
I am a PhD student and Gates Scholar at Cambridge having submitted a thesis on Frege's views on Truth. I have lectured at Cambridge on Frank Ramsey and Bertrand Russell, regularly taught undergraduate logic classes, and have also supervised students in metaphysics, philosophy of language, philosophical logic, epistemology, and early analytic philosophy. But I have a keen interest in the British Idealists that I hope to pursue by making videos about what I'm reading, so much of the content of this channel will be an outlet for that interest.

I really appreciate the content you provide here. As someone who has no intention of ever pursuing philosophy academically, I very much appreciate the ones who do and share what they've learned with laymen like me.

Excellent! Thanks. That's why I do it.

“He descended into hell.”
The word descended here does not mean he walked down a hole .
It is a metaphor for another kind of descent
Behind the metaphor is a “literal truth “ in that Jesus went into hell” so to say one literally believes in the creeds is not ridiculous
