This is a good video, but why dose it suddenly stop?

Bertrand Russell and Robert Whitehead collaborated to write The Principia Mathematica, in the bok Russell took 164 pages to prove that two plus two will always equal four.
Also God had to have a creator right, if so then we have a case of infinite regress right?.
This is simply the Problem of the One and the Many which is solved by understanding how Many Things (matter as spherical Wave-Motions of Space) exist and are interconnected by One Thing (Space). right?
Was Parmesans "right"

Wow. This video is great. All lectures on Plato in one semester at universities are summed up in one video. This is very useful summary. Good job.

@solarant 2+2=4 only because of the definition of 2. but two does not equal four so 2, 2s has changed to 4 math changes the same way the world changes but world history will allway equal world history 2+2=4 is history, one of the earlyiest math concepts but every number comes from 1 and is built on one is the begining, there will alway be new beginings

If you think an Okie accent is weird listen to some lectures by the Texan philosophy prof, Rick Roderick, sadly Rick died before his time may he RIP.
Roderick has lots of lectures excerpts on you tube.

The world is not permanent, Plato said the only permanence is math, and he is right.
2 + 2 will ALWAYS be 4. When God is dead (Nietzsche) what will be permanent. Example what is a even number? 10, 20 but where do you stop? answer a even number is a number that can be divided by 2 with 0 left over. So the true FORM is math, it is the only thing we have to permanence. Even God had a creator right?
If you say no, then your are not thinking rationally and have rejected reason, and nature.

Good video....a lot of useful information.

It is astonishing how much Socrates and Descartes were right - logic is universal.
From very simple propositions to such complex compositions as the idea of self-reflected objects - unchanging concepts... As I read him, I find more and more things that I have concluded before going further. We do not use the same words and he obviously has thought more than I did, and I do not pretend to be any as great as him, but seeing such a match over a 2400 years gap is impressive.
hearing philosophy in a southern oklahoman accent is hilarious after a while ^_^
