I love this....THANK YOU so much...

[PrimitiveBaroque]

Fascinating! I read Martin Buber last year, was entranced, but now that you break it down just made it much more comprehensible.

[clockyz]

thank you so much! i really like how you explain the abstract ideas clearly and slowly, and your analysis is very deep too :) keep up the good work!

[mandegi]

our essence speaks two basic words (pairs) one is "I-Thou" the other is "I-IT" the prior relates the later objectifies. this is primal, every Thou must become an IT in our world. Thou is the realm of the present the realm where God is found in the primal realm of relation "between I and thou". I- it has been, it is in the past. This is the Judaism of Israel, this is the pure essence of the Jewish faith, without which there would have never been this philosophy since Buber got this from hasidim.

spaced out hehe

[StLennyBruce]

He said Buber.

Bringing awareness to the transitional moments between the i-thou and the i-it aspects of dialogue is really important. fundamental aspects of our sense of belonging and being a *human amongst other humans* are confirmed in those moments.

I swear the English letters for MARTIN BUBER sure do look a lot like the Large font for HEBREW Letters.... I can see Aleph, vav, daled, Tav, bet, yood yood, Tav Tset...

Weird huh?

Please do a video on Heidegger on technology :)

I looked up the etymology of man and woman came from wifeman/wifman/woman and men had there own equivalent (something)man just as wife did. so its still unclear if its sexist in origin to me, when it met with anthopos idea of man the sexist nature distinction became more clearly used, so I still don't know what a man is. you must know more about this. I only have so many books to look at or time being dyslexic.

wow!

Thanks.

I prefer to come to the ideas myself, and then later discover them in a book...it's more fun that way. Like my coined "Sciencism" ...versus your(Popper's) "Scientism". I like mine better.

Good video, a subtle butt whupping.

In order to have a thou, do you not also need a "theory of mind":

[MarmaladeINFP]

I-It is necessary but insufficient. Practical reality would have no value, meaning and purpose without I-Thou.

[jogayot]

like i said: "zeroth dimension"...

but hearing you speak about "it" being "practical", every day and "thou" not really livable it made me think how does it compare to the "animal" state... is it only that animals are consumed by "thou" and do not possess our higher level vel "better" practical "it"? i'd say minerals are completely consumed by "thou" but are they completely impractical? or are they not so completely consumed having a sort of sub-societies of interactions between different kinds?

[jogayot]

@jogayot and if not being aware of the "thou" makes man less of a human how should the "animal" or even mineral state be judged in this dimension? a sort of cognitive dissonance, eh?

of course i'm squarely on the side of "thou"... and it being present element of consciousness all the way "up" from quarks or whatever else we still have to discover between them and planck scale.

ThouArtIt !;)

[SydneyTinker]

Great commentary. I haven't cracked open this one since college, but it impressed me in a lasting way.

Gonna take a crack at Spinoza next? ;)

@SydneyTinker

I would like to see Professor Anton do another video about Spinoza too.
