- A few clips of Paul Ricœur discussing Descartes. He explains why the birth of modern thought goes back to Descartes. For unlike the Greek world and Middle Ages, which took the notion of Being and Substance as their guide, it is subjectivity and the thinking subject which became the new value of thought with Descartes. He goes on to discuss Descartes' rationalism, as well as the famous Cogito, which is taken to be the first truth, the primary truth, but which comes at the price of alienation from the entire external world vis-à-vis his skeptical method of universal doubt and the resulting gulf between mind and world.
This comes a 1987 interview with the Multimedia Encyclopedia of Philosophical Sciences. As always, the translation is my own.

This would be perfect as a video to learn French. So slowly and carefully articulated.
Indeed. I could hear the French cognates. Reminds me of the commands between languages.
I got so excited seeing a subtitled video of Ricoeur! He's one of those thinkers, like Croce and Collingwood, whom I'm curious about, but have never really dove into. Though I have a Complex Guide to Ricoeur and have several of his books in my Amazon cart. I absolutely would love if you would translate the rest! Thank you so much for everything you do. My favorite channel in all of YT precisely because of gems like this!
Yes, Ricoeur is always worth studying. The pace of his works is slower than his contemporaries but that’s because he is very careful. My mentor was mentored by Ricoeur so I’m biased but you can at least trust he won’t steer you down a regrettable path of thought. When I was younger I hated on Descartes for his dualism until I learned better from Ricoeur to respect his thought. Now I’m including Descartes in my syllabus, just a short piece one day this semester.
@@bpatrickhoburg What would you recommend as a solid introduction to Ricoeur? Preferably a primary source?
@@philoofsophia899 It really depends on your passions. My favorite is the Time and Narrative series but I write about the nature of time, so take that recommendation with a grain. I’d more generally recommend Freedom and Nature. I can say more if you want me to do so.
As always, thank you so much for these!!
Thank you for uploading
Thank you for posting this and the recent content of Hegel and Kant
"I doubt, therefore I think".
Damn!....🥶🥶
Descartes legitimou "la mecanic"sob nova ordem cientifica na mudança da relação, então existente, entre o sujeito e a razão.Ele não criou algo que existe mas o atualisou. Right 1!!!!
Can you upload Lavine's TV lecture series "From Socrates to Sartre"? I think you originally only have two sections (Plato and Marx, leaving out Descartes, Hume, Hegel, and Sartre) uploaded on your old channel. Can you consider releasing them all if you have them? THANKS!
Without a doubt, belief couldn’t be suspended-#Descartes
Hey there, this is kind of a shot in the dark, but I remember on the old channel you had videos of Jaspers discussing Kant and Adorno giving a talk on Hegel.
Is there any chance you still have those? Thanks so much Philosophy Overdose.
The Jaspers one is on the table, but not the Adorno one.
3:30 it is not…
3:44 most basic nkt first
Well Hegel’s historical view was inaccurate to that time
"Subjectivity becomes the new value of thought"?? Good to know, as opposed to before, when all throughout medieval and ancient times everyone couldn't help but be objective. WTF
I think you did not understand what Paul Ricoeur means here. He does not mean that people were more objective before Descartes. He means that with Descartes, the center of gravity becomes the subject cognizing objects (the first established truth in the Meditations is the existence of the ego, that is, the individual thinking subject).
Read Descartes dude. Then you'll know
@@pastakkkkk470 Right, the Greeks had no concept of individual perception. Plato and the cave? Socrates and his trial? Individual as the 'center of gravity cognizing objects'? Please. (After all, they were Greeks, and if we want to be somewhat objective, we are actually listening to a Frenchman deify another Frenchman, sorry, so much for actual ego and subjectivity.)
@@GAZDAGP That is not what I said.
