Introduction to Philosophy and Logic

Published 2023-02-03
Humans are on a quest to understand the world around us. How did this quest begin? What are the tools we use to gather knowledge? How do we know what is possible to know? What do we mean when using words like ethics, ontology, metaphysics, aesthetics, and logic? This series is going to get very cerebral, as we go through the history of philosophy, highlighting the key figures from antiquity all the way to contemporary philosophy. We will discuss their ideas, their modern relevance, and how we can use these ideas to understand the cosmos and our place within it. Let's learn some philosophy!

    I first saw Dave debunking conspiracy theories and pseudoscience and then his psychology series. Now a series about my favorite field of study, what a treat!
  • @jadahuton7035
    Wow, you really intend on covering everything don't you? Eventually people will be able to come to your channel and learn about almost anything. You've got an impressive ambition for this channel.

    I have a philosophy masters degree, and this was a really elegant summary 👌 It's not often that scientists are so fair to philosophy as a subject, I've heard many brilliant scientists talk about philosophy being redundant, e.g. now that we have model dependent realism and advanced neuroscience etc. When anyone claims that philosophy is dead, that's the most important time to talk about it.
  • @legendary3952
    I really do appreciate your articulation. No convoluted explanations. Just pure concise and basic. 🙏
  • @MebThemes
    Philosophy is one of my favorite subjects. Great to see you covering it!
  • @aetherspill
    I'm currently taking a mathematical logic course and I'm so happy to see that you're doing a series on logic and philosophy! Thank you for providing educational content of such a wide breadth!
  • The Hindi audio is almost perfectly translated,but i think some other people may find the vocabulary a little bit difficult. We can compare this to the vocabulary of an elite class british person. I think the problem is not the translator but the problem is the subject (philosophy). People find the Hindi vocabulary hard because they use many english words in their day to day conversation so they actually don't know the Hindi words. You should continue like this. I'm pretty sure that all other Indian viewers will also like it. Have a good day.

    I just have to say, I was student of Chemistry 5 years ago and in that time when I found this channel I was extremelly happy to learn Italian and Chemistry with prof. Dave, now I am studying my 2nd college - Philosophy and DAVE STARTS PHILOSOPHY COURSE? This is just amazing!!!
  • As an philosophy student myself (third semester) I find it very cool that you're making a video about philosophy. An as far as the connection of logic and philosophy goes, you''re right, logic is one of the basic and mandatory courses, that one should do in the first semesters, the first ideally, in my university at least. I'm from germany. So it may be different in other countries and universities but yeah. It's an important thing in all of philosophy. Great video as always. Greetings from germany!

    i was really into philosophy about a year ago but still looking forward to this series.

    3:54 So how to think? I think I found Prof Burton's favorite one! To explain: He was a professor at Purdue who taught tech students something far more useful than computer-based skills: he taught us how to think critically about our knowledge. Aka: How do you know that you know that? "What is your source? How does it prove that?" Words we heard so often that we wanted to beat our heads on our desks. But it was good times & good for us. Probably the most widely applicable thing I learned while getting my degree.
  • @qlex26
    gotta say Dave your channel is one of my favorites! keep doing what youre doing man
  • i clicked on this video so damn fast, i've been giving myself a little crash course in philosophy over my summer break so this is perfect timing, thanks Dave!
  • @belzebub6822
    Can't wait for your explanation on nihilism, existentialism, and absurdism
  • Hey Dave! I am so excited about this series. I've been teaching critical thinking and argumentation as key parts of an academic writing course for several years, and I can't wait to see your presentation of these themes. Hopefully soon, if any of my students are having trouble with something in class, I can just direct them to one of your videos for help. Keep up the great work!
