"hope"

[ilianaya]

It is a beauty phylosiphy

[Thesocraticbreed]

@philosophicalmedia Is there a Hegel episode?

[Parvenu90]

These should be hour long instead of 1/2 hour.

[rgaleny]

This makes me think of the Movie, The Breakfast Club. Be a studier of the Lovers of wisdom.

I just ordered the essays while watching the docu.

[FrenchyDuckbill]

I love montaigne :)!

[caffeininja]

This guy seems to be extremely underrated in the philosophical world. I seem to only remember him when his named is suggested to me. Perhaps his own philosophy became labeled with the same taboos he sought to dispose of?

[ChromeFang]

Great quotes on the ceiling, I wish I could hear them all!

[Aiden057]

Presents some good from Montaigne, but also, i think misses some important aspects.

[81stReich]

...Truly genius. Relish in inadequecy and recognize it in all things. Socrates' "I know nothing" applied. Actualization of Nietzsche's overman?

[vladamirrrr]

look at 1:07 do people really write like that, with so much space between the words? ah... seems they do :) and btw, montaigne really has a good point, we are conditioned to believe that knowing facts is better than actually thinking with our own heads!!!! while some factual knowledge is of course necessary, most of it is bullshit and restrains our creativity in a way... so fuck colleges

[oliverburke]

This guy surely likes Montaigne!

Me too. When I was going through a tough family time around 18 yrs. old, in the bottom of my backpack of unread History books for the semester :) was M's Essais, and I read it and loved them so.

I took a break from school, but went back and finished my bachelors in European History. My thesis contrasted M's & two Protestants' travels to Rome in his time.

Certainly felt like a good friend to me in those days!! It was my favorite reading! Took him Everywhere!

great video but if you're going to fart at least make it a SBD

[JamesB609]

Terrific series, very enjoyable. Thanks again for your hard work putting these together. I have really learned a lot.

Love these videos. Is this truth or only on man's defination of truth. Some people define themselves on "Fitting in". I saw a tee shirt that said "I'm Diffrent, but I buy all my clothes from the same corporate owned stores. Listen to all the same cookie cutter music, and get the same thousand other tatoos and piercings." Truth is not in trying to make a statement. But by leading. "Somthing well done is better than well said" Benjamin Franklin. Somthing to contemplate

montaigne is the man - humility- awareness of limitation in knowledge- modesty.

[DukeofColumbia]

Interesting with the quotes painted on the ceiling . . . 16th century version of "motivational posters"

[rahimsk1]

I always thought why i regarded Roger Waters of pink floyd as one of the wisest song writers even though he confesses he isn't that much in to reading. Montaigne explained it to me. You rock philosophical media!

[TheBaloorina]

really like his way of thinking......its great cause its so down to earth

[wauzi123]

Very good documentary. I enjoyed it. Thank you very much. :)

check out the youtube vid:

I really want to know what those students wrote on the "wisdom tests."

[DeluxeReissue]

Montaigne was cool. A true genius who's skill lay in articulating the obvious truths.

[endgammer]

" and kisses are a better fate than wisdom".

- Cummings

[24erayfikri69]

interesting...if a man is to swim in abundance of truth he must reduce himself to zero!

[Jitpring]

No doubt, the "wise" answers are also the most muliebral, politically correct answers. O I hate this castrated age!

"O age, thou art shamed.* O shame, where is thy blush?**"

-Shakespeare, Julius Caesar,* Hamlet**

[TheLogicJunkie]

Awesome.

[Cadmusproject]

Montaigne the first punk!

[WarVideo]

@Cadmusproject

Yeah a nihilist

[shinewearsoff]

I'm sure he can.

[poopstainsmcgee]

can that guy really read latin?

[theinternetscholar]

Montaigne is true to the point of ironic surprise. . . even on a throne we sit on our ass

[elgbay]

Great stuff!  Thanks for posting!

[akb333]

Wonderful. My favourite philosopher

[robbflynncs]

Right on brother!

[desolationrow1]

Thank you so much for posting these videos up, they're helping me a lot, thank you!

[MrWoliachi]

Great video - I especially enjoyed the quotes that Montaigne wrote on his ceiling

"Have you ever seen a man that thinks he is wise, you have more to hope from a mad man, than from him"

"The man who thinks he knows, does not yet know, what knowing is"

"There is nothing certain but uncertainty, nothing more miserable and more proud than man."

[AnthonyTheSage]

Now you can justify the fact that your a fool, and act like an animal without disgrace.

[MongolaVie]

Very good! I loved it! Thank you for sharing!

[hegelsalve]

[Harpakhrad11]

[PhilosophicalMedia]
