I just started on a commitment to only read fiction from one author. If other people decide they want to follow suit, Hemingway is a really good choice. I chose JRR Tolkien. I bring this up because your channel name is The Old Man and the Sea. Which is a great novel by Earnest Hemingway.
This series is an excellent introduction to the subject. Mr. Sanders, not only do you show your mastery of your subject but also your pedagogical methods of explaining the subject which can at times be very difficult. Perhaps you would consider increasing your CZcams channel to include the whole spectrum and add your lecture notes or readings?
I heard the whole approximate 90 minute lecture and I really agreed with a lot of your points. There's a lot philosophies on different disciplines like in economy and science. There's no clear-cut answer when it comes to philosophy. And that analogy with Achilles and the tortoise really helped me understand how motion can be an illusion at times. Thanks for the philosophy lesson.
The music you hear is song from a genre of music from Hawaii called "slack key", in Hawaiian, ki hoalu. It's so named because the strings are tuned to a major chord. It's roots can be traced to the guitar music that came to Hawaii in the 19th century with the Portuguese cowboys to work on the cattle ranches that supplied the kingdom with beef.
"philosophy" is the study of the nature of things. This definition ties in well with the definitions of the sub-branches: e.g what is aesthetics? aesthetics is the study of the nature of beauty, or what is epistemology? Epistemology is the study of the nature of knowledge.
got interested in philosophy because pewdiepie started talking about it. This is a great starting point explained to the layman, thanks for these lectures
Thank you for the lecture and for posting. I feel like I should have taken some philosophy in my college years, and now I feel like I can get some of this knowledge. Much appreciated!
I absolutely loved this. I think that Zeto was saying that both the "Tortoise and the Hare" were moving equally fast within their own right. That neither could be said to be faster than the other in comparison to their selves. I don't know that's what I thought or I could be taking it way too simplistically, LOL.
That 's really perfect valuable lectures. I've been trying to find a point to start studying philosophy; fortunately, I found the whole stuff for my journey. I do appreciate your efforts.

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful lectures. I myself currently self-studying Philosophy and this has been more than helpful. Your videos are my first reference in everything. Thank you again, all the love from Saudi Arabia. 🇸🇦
What book did you have your students reading in this course? I would like to follow along with all of your lectures, as well as reading the recommended literature that goes along with it. I am self-studying/teaching with a strong interest in the areas of morality, ethics, and sexuality.
Most, but not all, of the readings were taken from Steven Cahn's Classics of Western Philosophy: www.amazon.com/Classics-Western-Philosophy-Steven-Cahn/dp/0872208591/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1529946168&sr=8-3&keywords=cahn+classics+of+western+philosophy There are also several handouts throughout the course.

Just wanted to respond to an interesting question you posed to your students. ‘How to live to ur life.’ Just an opinion just a student. The life I’m living if I am living it would be bound to subjective guidelines. Guidelines should be based on facts and rightful truths yet the human being is full of faults so seems that we shouldn’t be the guide to our lives. Which would mean our guidelines has to come from something objective. Just my opinion on your question. I’m trying to get into learning philosophy and I am really glad you have your lectures as a means for me to learn. Thank you Jack Also just wondering if you’ve got any books or other videos that I can watch on philosophy as beginner in search of truth.
Hi Muhammed - If you go to this site, you can scroll down to find five different philosophy courses I've uploaded to the web: studio.czcams.com/channels/4QD-E-UrdtGyl0XIRO0EJw.htmlplaylists - Cheers, Jack
1:01:00 I think Zeno may have come to an understanding of calculus if he was able to resolve this paradox. Achilles passes the tortoise as Tn-T(n-1) -> 0.
I like your approach thank you very much. I did some philosophy as part of Master of Busness Management MBM errr I completed in 2014. I studied part time whilst working. It was a lot of study load. Glad I completed, though it appeared to wreck my career. I was 51 years old when I commenced. I loved the lectures and all the face to face student discussions. As I went along, I experienced the destruction of the quality of learning and communication. Harvard put out the lead, GOSH ALL LEARNING MUST GO ONLINE... CRAP, no student I ever spoke to wanted that ... not at Master Level... My course took me 4 years to complete in Australia 🇦🇺 STRAYA SOUTHERN Cross ➕ Southern HEMISPHERE I witnessed the destruction of quality & care along the way. I also witnessed the fantastic lecturers lose all their rights and receive zero respect, even though they had given much. By 2014, all the lecturers we shoved onto 1 year contracts... STUPID hey. The dumb jerks of education, MISSED THE POINT.... So much for academia. DOH HUMAN BEINGS RELATE AND FORM RELATIONSHIPS with other human beings... NOT TECHNILOGY HARVARD has a lot of explaining to do. The negative externalities of HARVARD , worldwide , are vast. YALE owes ALL OF US AN EXPLAINATION.... SKULL & BONES, hmmm How DARE YOU ALL. ARE ALL WORLD LEADERS from skull & bones?

GOD = LOVE Sometimes LOVE = TOUGH LOVE, in order to SAVE EVERYDAY PEOPLE who deserve WAAAY BETTER. Never mind Oh hiya John Smith, ENJOY YOUR TRIP A SPECIAL SCROLL 📜 OF SHAME FOR YOU. I look forward to the departure of your entire flock. Your propensity to run around quoting scripture, WOW & BIG DEAL.... Old saying 'Even the devil 👿 knows scripture' 🔦 Scum of the earth 🌏 BE GONE. In the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ AND so it is AND so it always was AND so it always shall be YOU ARE WELCOME BOW 🙇
Let's philosophize on why Plato survived? Yes Aristotle wrote down or spoke about his works and he was a student of Plato. We have a few records from students of Plato.... How about these other philosophers have books from their students right now we don't and that's why Plato is significant because several people thought him important enough to save his work by writing it down copying it
The problem with ZENO's analysis is he has assumed that the space is smooth and can be divided into any number of infinitesimal lengths. Where as Heisenberg suggested that our space is pixelated with cubes of length equal to Planck's length. This cubic space cannot be divided further. This argument of space being pixelated seems to be true if we consider the hare and tortoise race experiment. Hence at the next instance when the distance between the hare and tortoise is about to go below Planck's length, hare will overtake the tortoise with the distance equal to the Planck's length. I hope this makes sense.
Hi Pratik - It seems to me that Zeno, in his "paradoxes", was trying to show how various conceptions of space/time didn't really make sense... - Cheers, Jack
@@jacksanders2611 Yeah certainly, I got that when I watched the later part of this lecture and I guess this how a theory evolves and progresses when it gets tested from all different directions and becomes stronger to withstand the test of time, also asking the right question is most important. The lectures are very interesting and I am checking them all out. Thanks a lot for making it available here. Best regards.
@@pratikdedhia Zeno's paradox still holds true. Under this schema, we could still visually divide each pixel into smaller units with our eyes. The jump from pixel to pixel is exactly the paradox Zeno speaks of; if I must travel one pixel to cover half the distance between myself and an object two pixels away, then how can I travel to the next pixel if I must travel half the distance of the smallest possible length in order to accomplish this?
Philosophy is a Way of Being; the passionate pursuit of Wisdom and Understanding. Inquiring Minds want to know! Since to seek Wisdom and Understanding is the wisest thing that one can do, Wisdom is the principle thing. Therefore, get Wisdom and with all thy getting, get Understanding. Metaphysical Realism: Axiom = self-evident Truth. Since only That which is can either affirm or deny that there either is or is not That which is, there is That which is. That which is, that is nothing in particular (actual), is by definition everything in general (potential). Reality = That which is/That I am. Knowledge = What is known of Reality experientially. Understanding = Knowing how to apply Knowledge learned from experience. Wisdom = Competent application of Knowledge to experience (Know How - Excellence). As the eye is a lamp unto the body, so is perspective to the Mind. Therefore, if your (perspective) on Life be single (all-inclusive), then your whole Being will be full of Life, and the Light of Wisdom and Understanding. The Light of Wisdom and Understanding dispels the darkness of ignorance and folly. Every choice we make generates a corresponding timeline of experience. The optimum (Heaven), is always found somewhere between the extremes of too much and too little (hell). Pleasantness is the Rose at the Heart of the Optimum - just so. The Way is narrow, and there are few who find it. God is a title that we bestow on our highest value: God is Light, God is Love, God is Power, etc. God = Creative Intelligence. Creative Intelligence is omnipresent. We are all It, to an unknowable/inexhaustible extent, as the facets of a Diamond are 'both' distinct from each other 'and' the Diamond itself. Love is the recognition of our shared Being. Seek first the Kingdom of Pleasantness (Heaven), and all else shall be added unto you. The Kingdom of Pleasantness is within you and all around you. There is a super-abundance of moments of Pleasantness in every leaf, every blade of grass, every pebble, every breath, every happy memory, being aware of being aware, etc. Collect them, enjoy and appreciate them. To one that has, shall more be given..... Unless you become as open and receptive as a little child to the Word of Truth that is ever faithful (loyal, true, isomorphic) to Reality (That which is), you shall in no wise enter the Kingdom of Gnosis. What the living fire of conscious attention dwells on today, we dwell in tomorrow. Daily Bread Meditation: 1. Go within. 2. Take no thought for yesterday, today or tomorrow. 3. Meditate day and night (dusk and dawn), 4. On all things lovely and of good report. ...and a little child (beginner's Mind), shall lead them.
Plato's Symposium refers to characters that represent Doctor of The Body vs Doctor of The Soul, according to Prof. SEGRUE whose 1990s (recently uploaded) lecture recommended this one on youtube..CZcams... more info about your mentions, Professor at 7:30 through 8:01 from Wikipedia 5 links removed from this copied text "Doctor of Law or Doctor of Laws is a degree in law. The application of the term varies from country to country and includes degrees such as the Doctor of Juridical Science (J.S.D. or S.J.D), Juris Doctor (J.D.), Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), and Legum Doctor (LL.D.)"
mrbananasham, a scientific theory has a body of well substantiated evidence that supports a claim, like the theory of evolution or theory of gravity. Layman’s theory is a hypothesis, or idea if you prefer that term, that has no evidence to back its claim. An example of a hypothesis is someone believing that before they flip a light switch they have to snap their fingers or the light will not turn on
To the question "what is philosophy of something", Can I say that the philosophy of a subject matter is the act of the demystification of the subject matter .
Zeno's Achilles and the tortoise paradox fails because Zeno has made Achilles' goal to be where the tortoise used to be, instead of the goal being to be in front of the tortoise. If you reword the paradox so that instead of Achilles being where the tortoise WAS to Achilles being slightlly in front of where the tortoise WILL BE, then the paradox fails.
Phil : Can be summed up like this: philosophy is the love of wisdom my Pasto catholic Priest who does not have a Phil; degree but does have Theology degree also said this and I believe it Phil is the foundation for Theology one cant know Theology unless they have a foundation on Phil! But yeah he says its love of wisdom!:)
I'm studying for engineering but i want to learn philosophy , I'm very interested in it but i know very little about it , like , i have no idea about Plato, Aristotle etc. So guys , should i watch this series?
I wish I could ask Zeno the following question: how does a one-legged person take two steps without using the same foot for each step? Then perhaps we wouldn't have had this stupid paradox still hanging around. The answers respectfully are I have two legs, people who don't have to use the same foot twice and neither one of them, nor anybody else travel in a unit known as the 'half-distance.' Any formula u write, even the formula they have for calculating the expansion of the universe, would not show the correct amount of growth, or inversely any diminishing, if u put a one-half before the formula.
in the video, you tell people that they should read the apology by Plato, are there any other books I should read just after watching this?, also this video is very good explanation of monism in the pre-socratics, you seem like a very good teacher

Guidelines should be based on facts and rightful truths yet the human being is full of faults so seems that we shouldn’t be the guide to our lives. Which would mean our guidelines has to come from something objective. Just my opinion on your question. I’m trying to get into learning philosophy and I am really glad you have your lectures as a means for me to learn. Thank you Jack
Also just wondering if you’ve got any books or other videos that I can watch on philosophy as beginner in search of truth.
Hi Muhammed - If you go to this site, you can scroll down to find five different philosophy courses I've uploaded to the web: studio.czcams.com/channels/4QD-E-UrdtGyl0XIRO0EJw.htmlplaylists - Cheers, Jack
hello jack, when was this recorded?
which university/college is this?
Thank you for putting it here. Much Thankful. Wonderful lecture.
Thanks Mouktik...
Thank you.
what is the name of the book ????
And thanks for making these lectures availables.
Is this entire course online? I watched this episode, been taking notes and want to follow all the way through.
Yes: the entire course is online.
Thank you
Which school was this at?
Great lecture!
1:01:00 I think Zeno may have come to an understanding of calculus if he was able to resolve this paradox. Achilles passes the tortoise as Tn-T(n-1) -> 0.
I don't think he had zeros to work with then.
So is Zeno's paradox sort of like a asymptote, where the distance will decrease infinitely so the tortoise never reaches the hare?
Yes - kind of like that... - Jack
Damn but the women flashing up gang signs like a g
LMAO
That woman a true og, part of every gang in the game. R2spect
what is considered as clear cut solution?
I like your approach thank you very much. I did some philosophy as part of Master of Busness Management MBM errr I completed in 2014. I studied part time whilst working. It was a lot of study load. Glad I completed, though it appeared to wreck my career.
I was 51 years old when I commenced. I loved the lectures and all the face to face student discussions.
As I went along, I experienced the destruction of the quality of learning and communication.
Harvard put out the lead, GOSH ALL LEARNING MUST GO ONLINE... CRAP, no student I ever spoke to wanted that ... not at Master Level...
My course took me 4 years to complete in Australia 🇦🇺 STRAYA SOUTHERN Cross ➕ Southern HEMISPHERE
I witnessed the destruction of quality & care along the way.
I also witnessed the fantastic lecturers lose all their rights and receive zero respect, even though they had given much.
By 2014, all the lecturers we shoved onto 1 year contracts...
STUPID hey.
The dumb jerks of education, MISSED THE POINT.... So much for academia.
DOH
HUMAN BEINGS RELATE AND FORM RELATIONSHIPS with other human beings...
NOT TECHNILOGY
HARVARD has a lot of explaining to do.
The negative externalities of HARVARD , worldwide , are vast.
YALE owes ALL OF US AN EXPLAINATION....
SKULL & BONES, hmmm

Oh hiya John Smith, ENJOY YOUR TRIP
A SPECIAL SCROLL 📜 OF SHAME FOR YOU.
I look forward to the departure of your entire flock.

Let's philosophize on why Plato survived?
Yes Aristotle wrote down or spoke about his works and he was a student of Plato. We have a few records from students of Plato.... How about these other philosophers have books from their students right now we don't and that's why Plato is significant because several people thought him important enough to save his work by writing it down copying it
The problem with ZENO's analysis is he has assumed that the space is smooth and can be divided into any number of infinitesimal lengths. Where as Heisenberg suggested that our space is pixelated with cubes of length equal to Planck's length. This cubic space cannot be divided further. This argument of space being pixelated seems to be true if we consider the hare and tortoise race experiment.
Hence at the next instance when the distance between the hare and tortoise is about to go below Planck's length, hare will overtake the tortoise with the distance equal to the Planck's length. I hope this makes sense.
Hi Pratik - It seems to me that Zeno, in his "paradoxes", was trying to show how various conceptions of space/time didn't really make sense... - Cheers, Jack
@@jacksanders2611 Yeah certainly, I got that when I watched the later part of this lecture and I guess this how a theory evolves and progresses when it gets tested from all different directions and becomes stronger to withstand the test of time, also asking the right question is most important.
The lectures are very interesting and I am checking them all out. Thanks a lot for making it available here.
Best regards.
@@pratikdedhia Zeno's paradox still holds true. Under this schema, we could still visually divide each pixel into smaller units with our eyes. The jump from pixel to pixel is exactly the paradox Zeno speaks of; if I must travel one pixel to cover half the distance between myself and an object two pixels away, then how can I travel to the next pixel if I must travel half the distance of the smallest possible length in order to accomplish this?
I didn't know that kenny rogers is a philosophy teacher
I would like to study more on the topic of philosophy but I'm not for sure where to start..
Maybe go through the rest of this series? There are ten lectures altogether...
Hello, sir; thanks for these lectures! Which book/s do you recommend for a general introduction to philosophy? Thanks.
Hi would like to give a hand
Hi Waqar - I'd recommend www.amazon.com/Classics-Western-Philosophy-Steven-Cahn/dp/160384743X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1503161243&sr=1-1&keywords=classics+of+western+philosophy
Thanks James
Thankyou for the suggestion!
Story of philosphy by Will Durant
Philosophy is a Way of Being; the passionate pursuit of Wisdom and Understanding.
Inquiring Minds want to know!
Since to seek Wisdom and Understanding is the wisest thing that one can do, Wisdom is the principle thing. Therefore, get Wisdom and with all thy getting, get Understanding.
Metaphysical Realism:
Axiom = self-evident Truth.
Since only That which is can either affirm or deny that there either is or is not That which is, there is That which is.
That which is, that is nothing in particular (actual), is by definition everything in general (potential).
Reality = That which is/That I am.
Knowledge = What is known of Reality experientially.
Understanding = Knowing how to apply Knowledge learned from experience.
Wisdom = Competent application of Knowledge to experience (Know How - Excellence).
As the eye is a lamp unto the body, so is perspective to the Mind. Therefore, if your (perspective) on Life be single (all-inclusive), then your whole Being will be full of Life, and the Light of Wisdom and Understanding.
The Light of Wisdom and Understanding dispels the darkness of ignorance and folly.
Every choice we make generates a corresponding timeline of experience.
The optimum (Heaven), is always found somewhere between the extremes of too much and too little (hell).
Pleasantness is the Rose at the Heart of the Optimum - just so.
The Way is narrow, and there are few who find it.
God is a title that we bestow on our highest value: God is Light, God is Love, God is Power, etc.
God = Creative Intelligence.
Creative Intelligence is omnipresent. We are all It, to an unknowable/inexhaustible extent, as the facets of a Diamond are 'both' distinct from each other 'and' the Diamond itself.
Love is the recognition of our shared Being.
Seek first the Kingdom of Pleasantness (Heaven), and all else shall be added unto you.
The Kingdom of Pleasantness is within you and all around you. There is a super-abundance of moments of Pleasantness in every leaf, every blade of grass, every pebble, every breath, every happy memory, being aware of being aware, etc. Collect them, enjoy and appreciate them.
To one that has, shall more be given.....
Unless you become as open and receptive as a little child to the Word of Truth that is ever faithful (loyal, true, isomorphic) to Reality (That which is), you shall in no wise enter the Kingdom of Gnosis.
What the living fire of conscious attention dwells on today, we dwell in tomorrow.
Daily Bread Meditation:
1. Go within.
2. Take no thought for yesterday, today or tomorrow.
3. Meditate day and night (dusk and dawn),
4. On all things lovely and of good report.
...and a little child (beginner's Mind), shall lead them.
Nice
Great lecture! Just want to clarify that in law it's a J.D. (Juris Doctorate) not an LLD. :)
Wow so relevant
My cousin did LL.D (Doctor of Laws), 1 Catholic Priest I know has JD (Juries Doctrate) I guess LLD and JD both exist.
In India it's LLB
Plato's Symposium refers to characters that represent Doctor of The Body vs Doctor of The Soul, according to Prof. SEGRUE whose 1990s (recently uploaded) lecture recommended this one on youtube..CZcams... more info about your mentions, Professor at 7:30 through 8:01 from Wikipedia 5 links removed from this copied text "Doctor of Law or Doctor of Laws is a degree in law. The application of the term varies from country to country and includes degrees such as the Doctor of Juridical Science (J.S.D. or S.J.D), Juris Doctor (J.D.), Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), and Legum Doctor (LL.D.)"
Maybe... Philosophy is the art of thinking...
thank you
Hello! Great Lectures! I was wondering if you have the syllabus of the course?
Hi Maria - I can send it; write to me via my gmail account jtsgsh@gmail.com - Jack
Also looking to get the syllabus if possible!
Great lecture, but I do wish he would have made a distinction between a layman theory and scientific theory
mrbananasham, a scientific theory has a body of well substantiated evidence that supports a claim, like the theory of evolution or theory of gravity.
Layman’s theory is a hypothesis, or idea if you prefer that term, that has no evidence to back its claim.
An example of a hypothesis is someone believing that before they flip a light switch they have to snap their fingers or the light will not turn on
great definition at the beginning for philosophy. what University is this filmed at?
Rochester Institute of Technology, in Rochester NY
To the question "what is philosophy of something", Can I say that the philosophy of a subject matter is the act of the demystification of the subject matter .
Zeno's Achilles and the tortoise paradox fails because Zeno has made Achilles' goal to be where the tortoise used to be, instead of the goal being to be in front of the tortoise.
If you reword the paradox so that instead of Achilles being where the tortoise WAS to Achilles being slightlly in front of where the tortoise WILL BE, then the paradox fails.
Phil : Can be summed up like this: philosophy is the love of wisdom my Pasto catholic Priest who does not have a Phil; degree but does have Theology degree also said this and I believe it Phil is the foundation for Theology one cant know Theology unless they have a foundation on Phil! But yeah he says its love of wisdom!:)
Can you make a career out of phelosophy
I'm studying for engineering but i want to learn philosophy , I'm very interested in it but i know very little about it , like , i have no idea about Plato, Aristotle etc. So guys , should i watch this series?
yes it is for beginners.
same .
Follow your heart
Study of philosophy is rethnking common sense
So Philosophy teaches us cars cant overtake each other ..... So Usefull !!! Cant wait to learn more !!!
Starts 1:14
I wish I could ask Zeno the following question: how does a one-legged person take two steps without using the same foot for each step? Then perhaps we wouldn't have had this stupid paradox still hanging around. The answers respectfully are I have two legs, people who don't have to use the same foot twice and neither one of them, nor anybody else travel in a unit known as the 'half-distance.' Any formula u write, even the formula they have for calculating the expansion of the universe, would not show the correct amount of growth, or inversely any diminishing, if u put a one-half before the formula.
9:45 when he said "well that's pretty good in theori but it doesnt work in practice", he sounded a bit like kermit.
I like the Hawaiian music
I'm glad; it's a particularly nice bit of traditional slack-string... - Jack
I like to think that there are Doctors of History and Philosophy who are far more intelligent than myself.
I'm taking Philosophy 001 this summer. I'm an upcoming Freshman. What do I do?
Hi Adrian - I guess you should just begin the course and see what happens... - Jack
Jack Sanders Ok. Thank you
if you need some help. let me know
Alright, but you just sound great
Can anyone tell me what distinct means ? I'm not an English speaker. I google definition but couldn't understand! It's confusing
Different
in the video, you tell people that they should read the apology by Plato, are there any other books I should read just after watching this?, also this video is very good explanation of monism in the pre-socratics, you seem like a very good teacher
Jack Sanders recommends this book:

Sorry it's three years late ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Philosophy: The study of questions that, presently, don't lend themselves to clear cut answers. Thank you :-)
Free college coarse, I love the internet
would Parmenides’ philosophy be similar to brahman in hinduism? like we all live as atman, but brahman is the ultimate reality (or god)
