    Really enjoying your channel, i've been watching "Plastic Pills", "Then & Now" and "CCK philosophy", all of you are doing a great job at a time the public need to access these idea's and perspectives. Keep up the good work!

    as a PhD student who has to teach some of this stuff but hasn't got time to do the reading (and I'm not paid enough to do it anyway lmao) you are a literal life saver.

    You think we could ever get a bookshelf tour? I for one always love to get a look at some more potential reading material; perhaps we might receive some brief insights on some of them if you were to oblige.
    As always, love the videos. Channels like this keep me engaged.

    I've been listening to these videos in the background on autoplay without seeing the titles and I assumed at first that foucault was a Japanese guy named fukou

    Very good channel! Funny that English speakers are the best to explain French theory (and I'm a French professor!) congrats! Please do more on specific big books! :)

    Enlightenment means to break free.

    I hate how Foucault deconstructs Kant's text and even says that we might never mature, but then just reaffirms his ideals, as if saying "real enlightenment has never been tries".
    God nerfed Foucault because if he went in the Sorelian direction he would have been too OP.

    That got a bit wordy. Perhaps enlightenment is too difficult a picture to paint.

      the essay is quite a good and well argued outline. Of course there are different perspectives but I have never heard a better one than foucault's

    He doesn't understand traditionalism and its true perception of the past.
    Modernism just seems like the ultimate futile deconstruction game.
