  • nice job , too bad that not many people see this kind of videos, instead millions of people had saw "dance evolution", as Karl Popper said

    "True ignorance is not the absence of knowledge, but the refusal to acquire it."

    (sorry for my spelling, english is not my first language)

  • Human thought and its intricacies is beautiful.

  • yo, Voltaire did not say that 'all is the best for the best of all possible worlds' (or something similar). he actually wrote a book, "Candide", critiquing that view

  • @KikiManini thats what i was thinking he was mostly living in the east

  • Where is Zeno's Stoicism?...

  • @KikiManini I thought about that as well when I saw it, but there have been influences from eastern philosophy. Mainly after the east became open to the west in the 1500s...there are many theories of when this influence started, but it started indeed...

    This video should contain mentions to the sophists and the gymno-sophists...and other pre socratic philosophers...aside from that its really good.

  • Why did you put in a quote by Buddha?

  • Great video!

    But how can you not include Thomas Paine?

  • yeah! Newton!

  • Oh it's just a pity philosophy is not about single quotes. Though it's always very nice to see the whole complex thinking of each philosopher focused in one short sentence. .
