Couple years ago, I identified the Jonah Complex as the most likely psychological explanation for my own neurotic ills in life, but this lecture is by far the best explanation I've seen of it, including clear ways to overcome it and realise that 'luminous essence' in myself that is at the heart of all people, whether they realise it or not; so thank you for making this available to a wider audience!

Thank you so much

Camus is the only philosopher I have ever needed.

Was his death a result of his philosophy?

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! I finally know how to identify myself when people ask about my beliefs: ENCHANTED AGNOSTIC is perfect! 😂🥰

I know this is an older video, but I've been trying to figure this out: theres a pattern thats raised as false: work/entertainment, but then the reaponse is to appreciate the existential and to me, that just sounds like a different from of entertainment. I just don't get what the existentialists actually want people to do.

lot of thanks, you 're a great teacher.

Professor is beyond words

I do not think this is a very good understanding of religion. Maybe a good view of the use people may make of religion, but this understanding expressed here may also be shutting down an important aspect of ourselves to be found in religious experience and religious writings.

Nietzsche is the only philosopher I've ever read that you can scroll through with a pencil marking out quotations to find that not only are there quotations within the quotations but the quotations, when you start making them come to overlap eachother.

Awesome lecture

Awesome series, thanks for this

Thank you so much! This was amazing.

Thank you. This is was great lecture for me to understand Albert Camus.

So, I finally told him, "I can row a boat, Camus?"

All the other philosophers just word salad about what is, is, Nietzsche may be the only worthy.

All Atheists are Agnostic. All Theists are Gnostic.

Thank you for your explanation two a Layman it help me a little bit better tow understand 😀

very much enjoying these lectures, thanks for making them so easily accessible!

Where are you, Eric? Three years and waiting.

Thank you for this series

There are at least a threefold philosophical problem with his Nazi gig. 1) His actions (of which there are many) in purging German universities of Jews (see the documentary on YT by Jefferey Van Davis) and his refusal to apologise afterwards (the meeting with Paul Celan) points to the ethical and moral vacuum that is at the core of his "structure of Being" which rests on futurity and potentiality at any cost. 2) Derrida ("Of Spirit") notes that the linguistic/textual flaw appears when he turns to the image of "fire" as the metaphor for Being. This screams at you in his 1940s/late 1930s lectures on Heraclitus. For Heidegger, fire "lightens" a clearing and opening of Being. He didn't spot that it also consumes and destroys. 3) His own admission of philosophical collapse in the Der Spiegel interview when he was grilled a little on his Nazi involvement. Heidegger's conclusion: "Only a god can save us." Being has evaporated into thin air after the Nazi atrocities and there is no answer to the will of technology that he decided the Nazis came to symbolise. So it's not about "hey, we all get things wrong, he's not such a bad guy". The philosophical problem is: what went wrong with his ethics in his assertion of pure individual existential existence? This goes back to his rejection of Kant when he tried to establish an ontology without any Kritik, a word that he never understood in Kant while he spent years rejecting (and missing) the Kantian thesis on the ideas of reason and the refutations of cosmology.

You said the care structure was threefold, but you broke it down to four? Facticity, throwness, falleness and existentiality? And the irony of explaining das Mann to students who have to pass grades etc… And the deeper problem with this model: that Hitler (and those like him) was the most authentic of them all….. These are very lucid presentations - thanks for sharing them with the general public.

I have enjoyed your lectures very much. Thank you, Professor Dodson.

Do you suppose the Corona virus reaction could be related to the extreme and rapid growth of news and social media creating a collective consciousness situation we aren't really prepared to deal with? It seems similar to the reactions to guns and tobacco when automobile and alcohol violence is many times worse (I've been directly affected by gun violence so please don't go down that road). The fact is there seems, to me, to be a sort of (disasterous) feedback loop between news propaganda, social media, and a super lynch mob mentality that rapidly forms and has been getting worse as media access grows. I was born in 1955 and have experienced the absurdity of public opinion grow in ways I don't believe could have been foreseen or prepared for especially with the increasing narcissism so blatant in our modern world

My respect for you rise another level just for refering Fall Out 4 in the middle of a philisophic lecture! 😎👍

This guy really likes mentioning he studied classical languages

What would be a 4th?

Thanks a million. Your lectures allow me to improve my English listening skills and find out interesting things for myself at the same time.

Man, youre amazing

Amazing video! Thank you for sharing this!

I like the Germans, things they say stand out, (even in english)..herman hesse, in steppenwolf, said laughter was the music, of the oher side, (in a discourse, about the difference between brhams, and mozart)..i recall that, from 30 years ago.. that had gravitas, for me..(no-one , made me read it, it was just a suggestion).

So, what happened to his pets?...were they re-united, in the afterlife?...futurama, was one of the goat, tv shows..(bender is the dog, in adventure time..good cartoon too..). Cartoons, can do, the impossible?..

Great video.

These lectures make me want to go to uwg

What book exactly is the pages on screen from? Thanks in advance

All human endeavors are just passing time.

I would like to see you talking about "determined" from sapolsky. Because I love Sartre and I am really into being and nothingness, but at this point my impression is that you went into a really one-sided reading of the text because factuality seems to be missing as a counterweight to bad faith and it seems to not come up in future lectures either. I will see. Love your thoughts but maybe there is a blind spot. Isaac Berlin gave me some tools to discriminate in the topic of freedom. Looking forward! Greetings from Germany <3

The idea of not willing to win or to be successful in whatever you're doing makes you free is a bit overtrajectory of the idea of Absordisim, I think. Especially if you even translate it to make you feel free. As if you have the life of vegetables is to prefer. I think you might be caught in the idea of meditation, which is completely different from what Sisyfos is doing or ought to do. Please excuse my bad English.

A truly great philosopher would say only this: "I am who I am, and ultimately I know nothing."

Like so many other dishwater BS philosophers, Sartre amplifies the anxiety I feel about simply being who I am.

Nagual Juan Matus was the teacher, Castaneda merely the messenger...self importance is the destroyer of any warrior.

If one dies & goes to Hell, one can only hope there's no other people there.

Wow. I've never heard this subject explained so clearly and humorously. Subscribed and looking forward to other lectures.

Life doesn't care... and neither does Death.

I pushed a stone up a hill, & as it rolled back down I noticed it gathered no moss.
