Guys I think he was only ironic about modern understanding of philosophy.As for Nietsche God is dead is more death or need for death of existing values,thats all.
@FMDostojevski1 i never thought about that title. and i agree with you. it is pretty obvious. it is the same with "the twilight of the idols" the death of ideals. i just read your name. dostojevski. he is one of my favorite authors.
@aqueenowlbee Yes, death of God is death of Ideals, as they are viewed for thousands of years. Actually it is the need for revaluating those ideas. What is the new form and content of those ideas we dont know. He never explicitly said what are those ideas consisted of. Actually he is quite contradictory but that is where wealth of his philosophy lies. We all, as I see it, from our existence need to find new values.
I think the problem is that we have so many different philosophies built up by these brilliant men over the course of their lifetimes. What is someone who enjoys philosophy to do? How are you going to learn Heidegger, Kant, Wittgenstein, Plato, etc. when philosophy can be so very idiosyncratic? I think Kant once admitted having trouble understanding the positions of his detractors, so he got other people to defend his philosophy for him.
@FeelingFreshSon Well you cant know it all, you should heave wide knowledge about most philosophers and go deep into philosophy of ones that seems most appealing to you, that are closer to your understanding of life. Thats my opinion :)
Philosophy is a second-order discipline, which can be used to further the lines of reasoning in other, first-order disciplines, such as science, and law, business. It aims to find out what is the best way for one to logically construct this argument, and how can I apply this to life. That's why there is a philosophy for almost everything, including people: Philosophy of law; Philosophy of science; Mary's philosophy, etc...
@TheDemosid You have it backwards, or misinterpreted. Business, science, law, whatever discipline you wish to point too, are the second-order disciplines. Philosophy can speak to everything about business, science, or law, but neither business, science or law, alone or together, can speak to all of Philosophy. Philosophy of Science or Philosophy of law does not prove that science or law are the first-order disciplines, rather that philosophy is embedded in everything.
@fuck192ass I think philosophy is a broad therm that could include the thought of Kierkegaard and Niezche. In the case of the first, he actually doesn't attack so much the foundations of philosophy as much as the Hegelist idea of a collective spirit and unity between man and god, still conserving much of Hegel's language. Nietzche on the other hand criticizes only the foundations of western philosophy, pretending to impose certainties which remain however arbitrary.

@messakg123 Joke that's been copied so much it's not even funny. Nietzsche didn't even technically say "god is dead" it was the "crazy old man", that is, if you knew anything about Nietzsche...
@kly45 Im not sure, i think that the phrase "god is dead" is a methaphore for what Nietzsche thought the end of metaphisical philosophy. In that sense, knowing Nietzsche`s anti metaphisical stand, the phrase god is dead is actually from him, and is essential to understand Nietzschean thought. But i guess it could be open to debate. The joke is still funny.
@Omnicron777 Ah. Good thing you've come to a greater understanding of philosophy then. (I'm not exactly a student of philosophy, it's simply a side endeavour in my studies)
@Omnicron777 Right, but Kierkegaard's morals contain the discussion of the teleological suspension of ethics as a very important point. Thou shalt not kill and such, why on earth is it not a problem when Abraham is ordered to kill his son? How can he do it? Is it because God's word can make immoral acts moral? Nietzsche takes a related ball and runs with it. "If you only do a good deed because a book tells you to, are you then actually doing a good deed?" Both are severe attacks on normal morals
@Omnicron777 ...no no no, they've got a lot in common: they both disliked the church and had a quite 'existentialistic' view on moral... of course they differ in their way of smashing the church's interpretation of the bible, but in the end they are more alike one may think on the first look: the formula "the single has to be above the mass" applies to both of them: moral and social conventions have to be suspended in order to "become what you really are" or to "live a real life"
@mangomungo btw: nietzsche did not think there would be no god or something (common misunderstanding), he just wasn't too fond of the belief in a big-strong-guy in the heaven, who tells us (via church or parents or etc...) what is "good" and what is "bad" - so he had a problem with moral systems in the first place (just like kierkegaard). In fact, he DID believe in a god, but the god he is for himself (in his last [kinda crazy] years he called himself "der gekreuzigte" ["the one on the cross"])
@mangomungo but of course there are differences as well: kierkegaard had it with the ladies and nietzsche didn't score at all, which explains some of them, especially their really different "speaking tones"....but to end my blabbering: nietzsche knew kierkegaard and was quite fond of his work if my brain isn't joking with me here
@Omnicron777 Kierkegaard and Nietzsche are not so opposites...the ideia of repetition in kierkegaard is like eternal return in Nietzsche...for example

@Fushapan Well the pure Kantian will is impossible. Dan Dennett points this out in Kinds of Minds. He says that the brain is made of physical stuff and since reason isn't a property of physical stuff, our brains cannot semantic engines. However, our brains are indefinitely adjusting and changing, seeking patterns of reason and recalling them when applicable. We get the illusion of will while in reality we are just using shortcuts that are composed of many steps and recollections.
@gasmbay You have used logic and numbered things in order to get to wisdon not to run around it and that what I think of mr.greoning's view on philosophy
i dont understand what you mean... i meant experience, intuition + logic leads to wisdom.. of course you need some logic but without experience logic is also useless. philosophers are wise because they learn from experiences... and use logic to explain them. without the experience you're not a philosopher, you're a logician.
@gasmbay You are coorect because logic is a tool that the mind uses to understand the information it contains and it needs experience so that it wil understand it better then when we use intuition Finaly it will be correct so that is the recipe for WISDOM
@robertwc82 I meant it is a tool to link ideas to together so it will bring a complete wisdom on a topic and ofcourse intuition is most important because any human won't always get every idea he or she needs. So I am saying logic is a tool and intuition is also a tool to gather information,so that the factory that is the brain can produce a healty and complete idea.
@919evilkiller919 so a paranoid schitzophrenic, killing people he perceives as alien infiltrators conspiring against him based on his intuition, is a wise man?
to him all the pieces of the puzzle fit into place and he is behaving in a completely logical manner, driven by self preservation, though fallable and misguided.
I sincerely hope that this video isn't serious. I'm sick of all these Americans failing to understand that some people value actual knowledge more than getting a job at the end of it. You know, the people who're actually intelligent.
It's not just Americans but yeah, I think its very sad that most people only care about and respect vocational education. To me, thats not what being educated is. If someone tells me they are doing a BA or a BS I dont look down on them, im really happy that they want to learn for the sake of learning. I'd consider them far more generally educated than people who spend 3-6 years learning one specific profession for the sole purpose of the money to be earned at the end of it.
Certain disciplines although very good in helping you to understand and be educated on a particular subject sometimes just regurgetate information from a text book and make you memorize theories and equations.
Philosophy is designed to educate you on how to think. It is no suprise that simpsons is the most successful animated show of all time, and the most relevant to our culture. Well at least the old episodes.
I could disagree with that last sentence. Because science is empirical, it deals with reality. Our emotions are based off of reality. Therefore science and our emotions have more in common than one may think. If I do something in reality that makes me unhappy, wouldn't the scientific solution be to change what I am doing because the produced evidence is wrong?
Good point Fushapan. I think religion also exists as a comfort factor, not only the comfort of having a benevolent God helping you along in life but of feeling like there is a meaning to your existence. I think the cold indifference of scientific materialism really turns off a lot of people - myself included, although I am not religious. The sad thing is that most people never consider that there is a middle ground between being religion and atheism - i.e. being spiritual.
By Mythology you mean allegorical stories used to signify a moral messege? Then yes, religion does use myth, but not all religions are based on myth alone. For example, the Bible in itself is a very mytholgoical religion, but uses many foundations of Jewish history to do so, and raises a strong philosophical argument for the existance of God through objective ethical morality. Also, I recognize myth when I see it, and an eye witness testimony, Jesus is a testimony not myth.
Religion and scripture are two different things. Scripture answeres a lot of questions philosophicaly. Religion on the other hand is an institution which allows people to believe what they like.
My experience the most immediate practical fruit of philosophy is leading a rich and rewarding life of the mind, something which I think needs no further justification.
so what if he can't find a nice paying job? I'm sure he's happy doing something very small. rewarding life of the mind has no comparison, it's unlike any other pleasure in life.
Don't underestimate Philosophy. Without philosophy there wouldn't be science. In ancient Greek Philosophy was considered not as a branch of science but Father of all sciences. Science was a branch of philosophy.
@obglobablob Philosophy is especially useful at the elementary school level. It helps children build the most basic and essential skills. It works one's ability to reason and communicate at the same time.
philosophy is the most basic form of knowllege. without a fundamental synthesis regarding how we aquire knowllege we cannot even begin to legitimize specialized knowllege (science).
Perhaps while it might be argued by some that philosophy has no immediate practical application in some subjects or fields. Does or can it give alternative, even thoughtful, or interesting insight into a field that you might be involved in?
philosophy rules - philosophy is completed by the fact that only a select few people can conceptualise why it is studied or what 'use' can be found in its study!
What nonsense is this? Philosophy is "completed"? "Select" few? Selected how? And only they are capable of "conceptualizing" an instrumental reason to study philosophy? Are you one of these, or do you just believe this "select few"? I have no idea what you are trying to say.
As the light changed from red to green to yellow and back to red again, I sat there thinking about life. Was it nothing more than a bunch of honking and yelling? Sometimes it seemed that way.
I concur, fingers are the cause of all the problems of humanity. My only problem would be that when I need to urinate I would have to sit down like a female. How can man maintain patriarchal power if he can't even piss standing up? These are the questions that must be solved.
Philosophy is subjective so w.e the knowledge you took from it was your own meaning Philosophy is fucking awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope it becomes a science and lives on through the ages
lol science is a form of philosophy. It got its big advantage through Descartes when he argued that there is a material reality that exists outside of our perspective. Nominalists prior to that argued in favour of individualism opposed to the philosophical 'realism' of plato that was highly favoured by the apologists. The goal of the philosopher has been to maintain that not everything is knowable, science claims the opposite but was born out of early philosophy... Atomists comes to mind.
Well how can one argue if there is reality beyond our senses and perspective. How can one argue that with out feeling it or seeing it? Descartes also favored mind and brain being seperate at death to lol.
Philosophy teaches you how to think,not what to think.That is certainly something worth mentioning,since the world we live in leaves little room for that.If all born would be philosophers,no war would ever occur.Ever.
Hunger is natural, we eat when we are hungry. Greed has nothing to do with hunger.. Where did you get this from? People in africa are hungry because they need nutrition and they're not getting it. We are hungry because we like the taste of food and we want more than we can handle... that's why there's so many fat people running around. Hunger is NOT greed... Greed is wanting food. Hunger is needing food.
Greed -intense and selfish desire for something, esp. wealth, power, or food.
Essentially, greed is selfishness. Selfishness is entirely necessary to survive. When you eat you are serving your own desires to satisfy hunger and keep you alive. That is greedy and there is nothing inherently "wrong" with it or "right" with it. If you did not have any greed at all, you would never be motivated to do anything. You would not work for rewards or even care for others to make you feel better.
I guess i'm talking about a different greed :-) I agree that when you eat, you are acting out of self. But i wouldn't call it greed, i would call it; fulfilling your need..
When i talk about greed, i mean people that want something they don't need... They just want it because they believe that they have a right to it and that's that. And they want more than they actually need. They don't want 1 hamburger to stop the hunger, they want 5 hamburgers just because.. that's what i mean with greed.
Yeah, I see. Some people don't recognize when they don't need to be greedy anymore so they keep taking while their cup is overflowing. So true. Still, I would blame irrationality as the cause for excess greed. Ignorance keeps them from being able to recognize when their "cup" is full. That's really just an unconscious addiction or at least a proclivity to become addicted to self-servitude. So I would blame poor judgement. Sorry to keep kicking this dead horse...
Hunger is a physical feeling in one's stomach that makes them eat until they are full. Greed is a mental feeling in one's brain which makes them eat when they're already full.
I'm a philosophy student and I've been drawing/doodling since I was able to hold a pencil in my tiny baby hand. (quality still questioned by myself, but nonetheless...)
So... I can still dream, lol. C:

919evilkiller919 2 years ago
i dont understand what you mean... i meant experience, intuition + logic leads to wisdom.. of course you need some logic but without experience logic is also useless. philosophers are wise because they learn from experiences... and use logic to explain them. without the experience you're not a philosopher, you're a logician.
gasmbay 2 years ago
@gasmbay You are coorect because logic is a tool that the mind uses to understand the information it contains and it needs experience so that it wil understand it better then when we use intuition Finaly it will be correct so that is the recipe for WISDOM
919evilkiller919 2 years ago
@919evilkiller919
if logic is a tool the mind uses to understand information, what is intuition? your guess based on your feelings?
how is that more wise than understanding actual information?
robertwc82 1 year ago
@robertwc82 I meant it is a tool to link ideas to together so it will bring a complete wisdom on a topic and ofcourse intuition is most important because any human won't always get every idea he or she needs. So I am saying logic is a tool and intuition is also a tool to gather information,so that the factory that is the brain can produce a healty and complete idea.
919evilkiller919 1 year ago
@919evilkiller919 so a paranoid schitzophrenic, killing people he perceives as alien infiltrators conspiring against him based on his intuition, is a wise man?
to him all the pieces of the puzzle fit into place and he is behaving in a completely logical manner, driven by self preservation, though fallable and misguided.
can you define what you mean by "intuition"?

I sincerely hope that this video isn't serious. I'm sick of all these Americans failing to understand that some people value actual knowledge more than getting a job at the end of it. You know, the people who're actually intelligent.
PaladinX500 2 years ago 49
It's not just Americans but yeah, I think its very sad that most people only care about and respect vocational education. To me, thats not what being educated is. If someone tells me they are doing a BA or a BS I dont look down on them, im really happy that they want to learn for the sake of learning. I'd consider them far more generally educated than people who spend 3-6 years learning one specific profession for the sole purpose of the money to be earned at the end of it.

Certain disciplines although very good in helping you to understand and be educated on a particular subject sometimes just regurgetate information from a text book and make you memorize theories and equations.
Philosophy is designed to educate you on how to think. It is no suprise that simpsons is the most successful animated show of all time, and the most relevant to our culture. Well at least the old episodes.

Stating that philosophy is an "unuseful" practice is making a philosophical claim. I.e. The use of reason to arrive at a Truth.
I fear that the person who posted this video has a deep seated fear of knowledge and things he doesn't understand.

I could disagree with that last sentence. Because science is empirical, it deals with reality. Our emotions are based off of reality. Therefore science and our emotions have more in common than one may think. If I do something in reality that makes me unhappy, wouldn't the scientific solution be to change what I am doing because the produced evidence is wrong?
drew335533 2 years ago
Good point Fushapan. I think religion also exists as a comfort factor, not only the comfort of having a benevolent God helping you along in life but of feeling like there is a meaning to your existence. I think the cold indifference of scientific materialism really turns off a lot of people - myself included, although I am not religious. The sad thing is that most people never consider that there is a middle ground between being religion and atheism - i.e. being spiritual.
bonzihunter 2 years ago
@Fushapan:
By Mythology you mean allegorical stories used to signify a moral messege? Then yes, religion does use myth, but not all religions are based on myth alone. For example, the Bible in itself is a very mytholgoical religion, but uses many foundations of Jewish history to do so, and raises a strong philosophical argument for the existance of God through objective ethical morality. Also, I recognize myth when I see it, and an eye witness testimony, Jesus is a testimony not myth.
ogirv101 2 years ago
Usually when people say the "big issues of life" they never say exactly what they mean (I imagine because they don't want to be criticised).
And guess what. Neither have you.
Thus rendering your last sentence irrational.

Religion and scripture are two different things. Scripture answeres a lot of questions philosophicaly. Religion on the other hand is an institution which allows people to believe what they like.

Don't underestimate Philosophy. Without philosophy there wouldn't be science. In ancient Greek Philosophy was considered not as a branch of science but Father of all sciences. Science was a branch of philosophy.

Reido2828 3 years ago
lol science is a form of philosophy. It got its big advantage through Descartes when he argued that there is a material reality that exists outside of our perspective. Nominalists prior to that argued in favour of individualism opposed to the philosophical 'realism' of plato that was highly favoured by the apologists. The goal of the philosopher has been to maintain that not everything is knowable, science claims the opposite but was born out of early philosophy... Atomists comes to mind.
jessefriesen 3 years ago
Well how can one argue if there is reality beyond our senses and perspective. How can one argue that with out feeling it or seeing it? Descartes also favored mind and brain being seperate at death to lol.
Reido2828 3 years ago
Some argue that if we have senses, there must be something to sense. Hence, proof the external world.
Kant himself used a variation of this argument in his "Refuation of Idealism"--except that he doesn't use "sense" but rather "intuition"

Happyanand69, if we were born without greed, we would not eat when we were hungry. Greed is necessary to survive.
goldensleeves 3 years ago
Hunger is natural, we eat when we are hungry. Greed has nothing to do with hunger.. Where did you get this from? People in africa are hungry because they need nutrition and they're not getting it. We are hungry because we like the taste of food and we want more than we can handle... that's why there's so many fat people running around. Hunger is NOT greed... Greed is wanting food. Hunger is needing food.
Happyanand69 3 years ago
Greed -intense and selfish desire for something, esp. wealth, power, or food.
Essentially, greed is selfishness. Selfishness is entirely necessary to survive. When you eat you are serving your own desires to satisfy hunger and keep you alive. That is greedy and there is nothing inherently "wrong" with it or "right" with it. If you did not have any greed at all, you would never be motivated to do anything. You would not work for rewards or even care for others to make you feel better.
goldensleeves 3 years ago
I guess i'm talking about a different greed :-) I agree that when you eat, you are acting out of self. But i wouldn't call it greed, i would call it; fulfilling your need..
When i talk about greed, i mean people that want something they don't need... They just want it because they believe that they have a right to it and that's that. And they want more than they actually need. They don't want 1 hamburger to stop the hunger, they want 5 hamburgers just because.. that's what i mean with greed.
Happyanand69 3 years ago
Yeah, I see. Some people don't recognize when they don't need to be greedy anymore so they keep taking while their cup is overflowing. So true. Still, I would blame irrationality as the cause for excess greed. Ignorance keeps them from being able to recognize when their "cup" is full. That's really just an unconscious addiction or at least a proclivity to become addicted to self-servitude. So I would blame poor judgement. Sorry to keep kicking this dead horse...
goldensleeves 3 years ago
Hunger is a physical feeling in one's stomach that makes them eat until they are full. Greed is a mental feeling in one's brain which makes them eat when they're already full.
