Being & Becoming - Plato's Parmenides by Michael Sugrue

source: Philosophical Overdose   2016年12月26日
A talk on Plato's Parmenides given by Michael Sugrue. He explains the intellectual context of the dialogue and what led to Plato's theory of Forms, which arose out of an attempt to avoid the absurdities implied by the unchanging monism of Parmenides and the pluralistic flux of Heraclitus.

The Social Contract

source: Philosophical Overdose    2016年12月19日
In this episode of In Our Time, Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the Social Contract and ask a foundational question of political philosophy – by what authority does a government govern? “Man was born free and he is everywhere in chains”. So begins Jean Jacques Rousseau’s great work on the Social Contract. Rousseau was trying to understand why a man would give up his natural freedoms and bind himself to the rule of a prince or a government. But the idea of the social contract - that political authority is held through a contract with those to be ruled - began before Rousseau with the work of John Locke, Hugo Grotius and even Plato. We explore how an idea that burgeoned among the 17th century upheavals of the English civil war and then withered in the face of modern capitalist society still influences our attitude to government today.

The Reality of Possibility with Ruth E. Kastner

source: New Thinking Allowed     2016年12月8日
Ruth Kastner, PhD, is a philosopher exploring the foundations of physics. She is on the faculty of the physics department at the State University of New York at Albany. She is also a research associate at the University of Maryland. She is author of The Transactional Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics: The Reality of Possibility and also Understanding Our Unseen World: Solving Quantum Riddles.
Here she describes Plato’s famous cave allegory, and suggests that it is relevant to our understanding of quantum mechanics. Specifically, she suggests that the higher dimensional mathematical formalisms, although not empirically observable, point toward very real levels of existence. To buttress her argument, she also describes the nineteenth century parable of Flatland. In quantum theory, there are the probability clouds described by the Shrödinger psi equation. At another, more subtle, but still ontologically real level, are virtual particles.

New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in "parapsychology" ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). He is a past vice-president of the Association for Humanistic Psychology; and is the recipient of the Pathfinder Award from that Association for his contributions to the field of human consciousness. He is also past-president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people are encouraged to cultivate and apply their inner, intuitive abilities.

In this lecture, Christina Hendricks discusses the historical and political background to Plato's Republic, as well as the political structure of the kallipolis and its connection to the structure of the soul or psyche, for Plato. Unfortunately, the lecturer forgot to turn on the microphone after the break in the middle of the lecture, and so there is some audio missing in the middle.

Christina Hendricks: Sigmund Freud, Civilization and its Discontents (01/27/2015)

source: Arts One Open     2015年1月27日
Christina Hendricks begins this lecture by giving some background in a few Freudian ideas and arguments that may help in making sense of the text, and then talks about connections between this text, Rousseau's Discourse on the Origin of Inequality, Plato's Republic, and Nietzsche's Twilight of the Idols, while giving her reading of some of the main points of Freud's arguments. She ends with a quick question about the choice to start the book with a discussion of the "oceanic feeling" only to seemingly drop it, and then argues that we can see it reappear as a theme, in a way, in the end of the book.

Math Mornings at Yale: Asher Auel - Wallpaper, Platonic Solids, and Symmetry

source: Yale University    2016年10月20日
The Platonic solids-the tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron-are some of the most beautiful and symmetric geometrical objects in 3-dimensional space. Their mysteries started to be unraveled by the ancient Greeks and still fascinate us today. In 1872, the German geometer Felix Klein proposed the Erlangen program, which sought to unify the study of geometry through the study of symmetries. We will investigate instances, from crystals to wallpaper, when symmetry can lead to a more fruitful understanding of geometry and vice versa. Mathematics is patterns & logic, imagination and rigor. It is a way of seeing and a way of thinking. Math Mornings is a series of lectures and demonstrations aimed at bringing the joy and variety of mathematics to students and their families. Come play math games for 30 minutes and then listen to an engaging talk about Math! Talks are usually accessible to 7th graders and up, but bring the whole family! Refreshments will be served. This series occurs three times each semester. You can see more about Math Mornings at Yale here: http://math.yale.edu/math-mornings.

Few individuals have influenced the world and many of today’s thinkers like Plato. He created the first Western university and was teacher to Ancient Greece’s greatest minds, including Aristotle. But even he wasn’t perfect. Along with his great ideas, Plato had a few that haven’t exactly stood the test of time. Wisecrack gives a brief rundown of a few of Plato’s best and worst ideas.

Intro to the Philosophy of Mathematics (Ray Monk)

source: Philosophical Overdose    2016年8月21日
A very good introductory talk on the philosophy of mathematics by Ray Monk. He considers the issue of the nature of mathematical truth, what mathematics is actually about, and discusses the views of Plato, Aristotle, Immanuel Kant, and Bertrand Russell...
From the time of Plato onwards, people have regarded mathematical truth as an ideal. Unlike ordinary, empirical truth, it is held that mathematical truth is eternal, incorrigible, and certain. This talk looks at the ways in which philosophers have tried to account for the special nature of mathematical truth.
Ray Monk is a British philosopher well known for his writings on Wittgenstein, Bertrand Russell, and the physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer.
This talk is part of the Philosophy Cafe series given at the University of Southampton. Subtitles/transcript have been added.

The Philosophers of Atlantis with Jason Reza Jorjani

source: New Thinking Allowed   2016年8月25日
Jason Reza Jorjani is a philosopher and faculty member at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. He is author of Prometheus and Atlas.
Here he reviews the writings about ancient Atlantis that appear in the philosophical literature. He focuses on Plato, Francis Bacon, Rudolf Steiner, and Colin Wilson. When taken as a whole, this literature is suggestive of an advanced civilization that may have existed about ten thousand years ago. Its inhabitants possessed a consciousness very different from that of modern humans. Jorjani speculates that various archeological mysteries can be resolved if one treats these philosophical accounts as embodying some remnants of actual history. He suggests that we are still haunted by the memory of Atlantis and that this may account, in part, for the resistance toward parapsychology today.

Lecture/discussion videos from my Ethics class sections. We start with discussing Emotivism and contrasting it with a Natural Law and Virtue Ethics Perspective, then move into Virtue Ethics, Egoism, Might Makes Right, and Contractarian moral theory as depicted in Plato's dialogues. After that we discuss ancient Hedonist and Stoic theories, then move into Utilitarianism with Bentham and Mill, followed by Deontology with Kant and Ross. Ethics of Care follows, as well as a return to Virtue Ethics with in-depth study of Aristotle, finishing with study of Thomas Aquinas' Natural Law moral theory.
