I love this!

We’re quoting Metallica in order to exemplify Sartre XD I love that

speechless

24:30 My niece asked me my take on life and I found myself recommending The Myth of Sisifus. Do you think my niece will read it as a way to understand men, or will she find herself identifying as an Absurd Person?

Gay Science? Oo 'ello!

I agree. Hell is other people.

God is life life is god wonderful and crap

Magical miraculous mystical mystery of life that’s a wonderful philosophy did all the others thankyou xx

Good video, only suggestion is to get rid of the long into (it irrelevant)

These lectures don’t strike me as depressing, they inspire me to “lean into life”, THIS LIFE…not some imaginary afterlife. Love and respect this unique, surreal “short” experience we are all going through together. You only get one very temporary shot at it.

Just came across your outstanding lectures. If you had 210 million subscribers, vs 21 thousand, the world would be a much better place….

this is helping me a lot in my exploration of the philosophy which I might probably connect a lot with

Brilliant, thank you!

How can one revolt the aburdity and also be happy

The best who explained this concept. Excellent. As if Pull is saying that you or we must transcend our conditions to create different conditions even if there are limitations. But it still remains the question of the mechanism of making a decision if all there is a physical brain.

Atheist = someone who lacks belief in a god or gods. In other words, lives and acts as though there is no god. It is in fact, NOT, the positive belief in the premise that there is in-fact no god or gods. Agnostic = someone who lacks the knowledge that God or gods exist. In other words, lives and acts as no god or gods exist in a state of uncertainty. These two things get conflated so often. Believing in something is different from knowing something. You can believe, meaning you are convinced of something being true, without actually knowing whether or not it is true. For example, I am convinced on the basis of everything that I do know, that there is no god. However, I am still agnostic because I have wavering certainty of this belief. This makes me an agnostic atheist. Also, as a note, these are two separate concepts and not just varying degrees of knowledge or certainty.

Thank you again I love Albert Camus and existentialist philosophy in general personally I'm a Taoist and I find similarities in existentialism therefore it's on my list of things to study . Frederick Nietzsche, Soren kirkegaard , Arthur Schopenhauer, Jean Paul Sartre, and others. I also think there are many parallels in Stoicism as well

We need more general public talks-wise. Talks need not be restricted to psychology.

Excellent

Having become aware of the absurdity of existence, maybe thats why I suffer from suicide ideation. Life is still worth living. I revolt against the absurdity.

In this series of lectures, Sarte explained so beautifully and simply.

Thank you from a Absurdist mystic

Hey, Professor. Loved the class. The Buddhist does not demote this life experience and promote the nirvana in after life. In fact, the path to enlightenment is overcoming the perspective of life as suffering and engaging in life as it is (Buddhism prescribe understanding the 4 noble truths and following the noble eightfold path). This is so the case that the Bodhisattva vows are the representation of "withstanding the eternal recurrence", "eternal confirmation and seal". Also, nirvana is a state of the liberated mind, the mind as you stated "can live beautifully enough" with the pain and pleasure intact. Amor fati and Buddhism are so much alike.

I really appreciate your videos. Sartre ignited my interest in philosophy because his was the first philosophy that really connected with me in my intro to philosophy course and I am really enjoying diving deeper into his ideas. Thank you!

Would is pursue of darkness in order to be free according to dostoyevski be similar to freuds thanathos or kierkegaards "we fear what we want, we want what we fear"?

Good lectures however your perceptions of national socialism are shallow. I believe you are a pro National Socialist by the ending delivery of this 8th lecture

I'm a coward so I live

This description of repetition is the closest I’ve heard someone describe the sensation people that do psychedelics refer to as a “time loop” (not to be confused with a thought loop which is common in anxiety and depression). Not only do you become aware of your cycles of repetition but you FEEL that you’re just along for a ride that’s greater than you. Side note: if one finds themselves here the best thing to do imo is accept that we truly aren’t in control as much as we think and it’s okay to go with the cycles (life) and let go

Walter Kaufman was an excellent translator of Nietzsche’s German into English but to his philosophy he had not been introduced. His footnotes are always wide of the mark and bear the stigmata of all academics who have sacrificed their lives for security on a campus of green grass and oaken shade. James Legge who translated Chinese classics like the I Ching was a good translator but a poor expositor of its contents. The holy grail is one thing the wine it contained another.

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 😀
