Philosophy of Math Lecture 28- Kant's Theory of Space and Time - Part 3 of 3

[AgApE010]

Can you please upload the entire series, marczero?

[ruvstof]

Wonderfully clear teaching. I even understand Kant better afterwards and used some of this in my course about Kant and Leibniz in northeast of Brazil. I would be glad if there were more of this.

I'm really enjoying these lectures... I have to be honest, however, I just noticed she sounds a bit like Jimmy Neutron, and now I can't un-hear it. :)

This is really good! I love the Learning Company, they make such great lecture series.

at 1:20, she says that the upward force of the lever is parallel to the downward forces of the two weights. This is impossible because the force vectors of the downward weights converge at the center of the earth.

I arrested this lady for possession of Heroin and indecent exposure to minors about a month ago.

why is lecture 29 missing? I really wanted to know how why is all that euclidian space related to art

Great geometry, great philosophy, great teacher.

Please don't remove this, I would like to share it with lots of friends.

Thank you.

Why did it take humans so long to recognize that there are geometries other than Euclid's plane geometry when all you had to do was take a child's ball, draw some triangles on its surface, measure the angles, and realize that those triangles didn't behave the same way as triangles drawn on a flat piece of paper? A spherical surface is obviously a non-Euclidean two-dimensional space. Didn't math geeks from long ago ever play ball?

@jimtrueblue99 would it have occurred to you without being told.

[jimtrueblue99]

@dylanlawless1 Yes.  I can tell the difference between flat and curved. Can't you?

[CPLains]

@jimtrueblue99 You should take that question very seriously. If you can figure out some pattern in why our brightest ancestors did not realize things that we now understand simply, you might begin to understand the kind of effort that is needed in finding the simple truths that currently lie hidden in our blindspots! :)

thanks so much for posting these!

English is not my mother tongue, I actually could understand most of the principles she was explaning but there is a word that I couldn't understand, which I think is veeeery important. And she says " space has to be ***cludian, case closed" on the 9':11'' part of the video. Can someone help me? thanks

[marczero]

@danolisp She says "Euclidian" as in Euclid the ancient Greek mathematician. Euclidean space is regular 3D space that conforms to Euclidian geometry. You should be able to find more with Google.

@marczero

Ok. Thank you a lot!

What is this clever lady called?

[Zaphenath4]

A handsome woman indeed.

You're a recorder of what was already recorded. Where is you're creativity??? A mind of memory..
