Good recommendation! That is absolutely our plan. We started a Tik Tok for the launch of our recent video (just a few days ago). We plan on making original content for Tik Tok utilizing our fast paced highly edited style. We plan on doing a series on "Philosophy explained in 20 second" type videos. Where we pick a random topic like Metaphysics or Ethics and summarize it very briefly in a stylized way. Hopefully that will make philosophy more accessible to folks and renew much needed enthusiasm for the philosophical sciences.

Absolutely amazing editing, music and narration. Excited for this channel!

This video was a treasure! Thank you!

The Greek ideas all trickeld down from pythagoras, who was educated in Syria and Egypt in his youth before returning to greece with secret knowledge from abroad. The idea of a metaphysical one was present throughout the MENA region during this as well as the mathematics and geometry that he is credited with preserving. With the rise and fall of empires this knowledge was lost in the mena area; with no primer for Egyptian writings Greek is the only ancient language that covers these subject's that we can understand wholly, excluding polly which was close to Baghdad and discusses the one at great length. Al kindi closed a circle of ideas and returned the knowledge to a place it most likely was created. Beautiful.

Amazing video! We need more videos on subject like these. These videos are invaluable illuminations on severly underdiscussed figures in the history of philosophy, science, literature and mathematics. It is a shame that the Islamic Golden Age as a whole is so underepresented in the West as it puts into context the development of Western thought and shows that the exchange if ideas between the East and the West has always occured throughout history. While their contribution is undoubtably enourmous, the West is not the sole contributor to and promulgator of progress in these fields.

Great video! Your pronunciation of some of the Arabic letters indicates that you’re either a great speaker in arabic or a native. His name is الكندي with a كاف, so u pronounce it that way. You pronounced it القندي. Other than that i really liked the video

Truly Phenomenal work with your videos! Al-Kindi was a very good polymath. However, his metaphysics are very questionable to me. He disputes an infinite universe cause change would break down. But the one is clearly consciousness. And in infinity, choice should break down as well. Because any choice would imply an orgin in a different choice. Regardless of whether you're free will, Soft determinist or Hard determinist, what is consciousness without choice? Every time you even think of something you're making a choice. So is the one feasible and an infinite universe isn't?

Very nice, I would recommend you to introduce yourself works of modern islamic thinker - Geydar Jamal.

Brothers, I'm guessing you guys' origins are from South Asia. Many South Asians living in the west have inconsistencies with pronouncing Arabic terms and names, not every Arabic name has a 'Ayn or Qaaf in it, Al-Kindi is with an actual K and not a Qaaf. There's no reason for pronouncing these names and terms wrong. Thank you for your videos, very enjoyable.

Make more videos please

Good video. I'm curious though, why choose the Father of Arab philosophy rather than the Father of Muslim Philosophy? Also, where does that thumbnail come from? I have trouble believing he looked like that and I've seen other depictions that look more reasonable for time and place. Especially based on the descriptions of Arabs by classical Muslim scholars, though I imagine al-Kindi also had some Persian heritage as well.

@OasesOfWisdom

Жыл бұрын

Thank you for your comment and good question! One of the reasons we decided to go with the title of ‘Father of Arab Philosophy’ rather than ‘Muslim’ philosophy was to convey the idea that the philosophical dialectic in that era was not one that was *solely* inspired by Muslims, or Islam as a religion. As you will see, many thinkers from disparate traditions, cultures and religions contributed to the intellectual sphere that flourished in the various empires and caliphates that spanned, what came to be known as the Arab/Muslim world. This is also the title used for al-Kindi in the academic books we use for research. As for the thumbnail, it was the best quality image we could find at the time of producing the video. It is certainly not supposed to be an accurate representation of al-Kindi’s appearance. However, we are now in the process of making our own portraits which aim to use historical sources to inform an artist’s impression of what thinkers in that time looked like. You can see one of these portraits in the Abu Hanifa video :)) Hope this answers your questions!

​@@DAKEN711Look I understand your statement, but it's Islam that brought enlightment to Arabs and Persians, not their culture. Prior to Islam, you wouldn't have such research in the Arabian Peninsula, and I say Islamic civilization because in North Africa, in Spain, in Turkey, in Persia, in Central Asia, you would have all of this discoveries and studies while people would still adopt to the customs of Islam. Arab culture stayed in the Middle East, the Arab culture didn't spread, it's the religion. And as you've seen Khulafah Rashidun, Abbassid, Omeyyad and Ottoman caliphates, you cannot say it's one people's civilization because it encompasses multiple ethnies. Also, it's ethnocentric to say arabo - muslims, as if non - Arab brought nothing. It's like saying that the Muslim world revolves around Arabs, yeah ok but you overlook milions of muslims in Pakistan, India, Indonesia... what about this? This religion is not about race, it's global and its language is arabic, and you have Islamic culture within each ethnies, there was no goal of spreading arabism identity rather muslim identity, in which people would correct themselves accordingly.

How did i get this far People always ask me what does your name mean Then Me: i don't know Them; i never knew this name exist before even people from my own country😂 Today i decided to come check No wonder I'm f*cking intelligent and good in writing poét Same description too Astrologically ♎

i think, the main problem of common muslims and including most of their Quranic scholars, are too much "legalistic," (fiqh oriented), as if ayatollah (god guidance) is only one: al Quran (holy scripture) and its derivatives (hadist, ijma, qiyas, etc). factually, God him self, in very first revelation to Muhammad, is not asking Muhammad to study (iqra) the holy Quran (cos the kitab doesn't exist at that day), instead He command Muhammad to study (iqra) other ayatullah, we called as ayat Kauniyah (universe and all of His Creations in it). That why in serious and encyclopedic Islamic traditional school, we always taught that beside al Quran, there is another god guidance (ayatullah) called ayat kauniyah (the universe and all god creation in it). and for qur'anic scholars, we also know --from al Quran it self, there are two others god guidance (ayatullah), that we as muslims should seek for God Guidances: called as ayat insaniyah (human being) and ayat tarikhiyyah (human history). if common muslims and it scholars, uses all 4 God Guidance in balanced ways, we will not always fall into legalistic point of view when we talking or examining Islam point of view about woman/feminism, politics, evolution, LGBTQ issues, democracy, secularism, separation between religion and state, on terrorism, etc. for me, if sociology, political science, statistics, history on the rise and fall of civilizations/countries (as interpreters of ayat kauniyah and ayat tarikhiyyah) comes to the conclusion that democracy with separation between religion and state, is the best political system in the world for advancement human civilizations, then all Muslims should choose democracy with separation between religion and state, as preferable political system to practice in all Muslims majority countries. also if expert on biology, doctors, psychiatry, etc (as interpreter of ayat kauniyah and ayat insaniyah) , said that beside man and woman (as gender), we also has intersex, hemaprodyte, woman with more testosterones, man with more X chromosome, etc, then all Muslims should choose to agree that god him self gave us guidance / ayat that beside man and woman as gender, there also another genders/pronouns that we should cherish, protect, and respect (cos if we don't respect others God Creations, are similarly with we don't respect our God as their Creator). if we stubborn, only picks, one ayatullah, we called al Quran (holy scripture/ayat Qauliyah), as the one and only god guidance to follow, then muslims and it scholars, will always fall upon into legalistic point of view (fiqh oriented) when we examining what is islamic point view on everything under the sky. wahabbiyah, isis, al Qaida, etc are trapped in this narrow point of view about Islam and its believe. of course, for responsible and encyclopedic islamic teaching, all those narrow point views on Islam are wrong (at least incomplete), misguided, and disrespecting God. umar bin khattab, as on of few sahabah (closed friend of Prophet), several times choose to disregarding some textual issues stated clearly in al Quran, and pick other decision after he choose as Muhammad successor, as leader (khalifah/amir), if there are more fairer and more justice way (socially) on making decision as Amir/Leader, rather than choose from what already state very clear in al Quran. he always choose more fairer and more justice decisions, even others sahabah question his decision. and as we know it, umar bin khattab is one of several sahabah (closed friend of Prophet) that guaranteed (informed) by the Prophet that he is going to heaven. his way of leadership decision, was a hard evidence that the closest friend to Muhammad, also not only consider holy scripture (ayat Qauliyah), but also social aspect, fairness, and justice (ayat kauniyah), when he making decision as a leader. nobody in umar bin khattab time, dare to called umar bin khattab as heretic/bid'ah, kuffar, or infidel. but in modern era, several of loud muslims, loud muslim scholars, and most of jihadist will immediately call us heretic/bid'ah, kuffar, or infidel if we also uses 3 other God Guidance's beside ayat Qauliyah, when we speak, analyze, examining islamic point of view on everything under the sun. how strange is it, if we following completes God Guidance's, then be called as infidel, kuffar, or bid'ah. legalistic approach (fiqh oriented) on Islam has bad impact on advancement of Islamic civilization, and has backward effect on development of its peoples: the Muslims. but yes, in Islamic jurisprudence (ushul fiqh), we also has similar concept with Umar way, but unfortunately has more narrowed approach and clearly far from sufficient to be implemented in modern era, we call them: maslahah mursalah (public good principle) and maqashid syariah (ratio legal over legal specific). if muslims also incorporate social science, biology, technology, history, political science, psychology, etc (as part of rightful interpreter all of God Guidancs/ayatullah), many problem we faced today in many part of Muslim countries, will be addressed in responsible way. Muhammad him self, in his own word (Hadits Bukhari Collection no 6015), said: muslims should follow person with specific expertise on handling matter, so let political scientist handle political matter, health matter should handle by doctors, etc. do not let everything under authority of quranic expert. in general, muslim should treat expert on other ayatullah (scientist as rightful interpreter whole universe and all of His Creations in it, as rightful interpreter human being behavior and it history) equal to expert on holy scripture (al quran). Furthermore, on all wide range of social issues, every new founding/understanding as result from responsible research by scientist, should supersede (abrogate) any old interpretation from holy scripture, cos all of new founding/understanding as result from responsible research by scientist, are also rightful interpreter of God Guidance (ayatullah). falling to do so, should be interpreted as a disqualified argument/opinion. Many argument/opinion base on fiqh (islamic legal specific), kalam (theology) and falsafah (philosophy), factually in most areas are quite obsolete for addressing social, economic, and political problem in modern era, cos most of them are derived only from ayat Qauliyah (Quranic centric), which is an incomplete way to sorting our problem in modern era. Most of old argument/opinion already supersede/abrogated by new founding/understanding as result from responsible research by scientist. Muslims should back to the complete of God Guidance in balance way on solving problem in Muslims world, not only using holy scripture as final say. and stop kuffar/infidel calling game, cos that game from a complete, genuine, and responsible interpretation of 4 God Guidances, is simply un islamic. and, as an open end conclusion, there is a deeper question: why common muslims and its scholars dare to disregarding 3 other God Guidance's? why muslims and its scholars become legalistic (only focus on 1 ayatullah / 1 God Gudance (ayat Qauliyah) called alquran, as if salvation of a civilization fate can be and must be depend on 1 cause only? as brief answer is: corruption and abuse of power by people in high power, it cronies, and big business that closed to muslim countries rulers at that time. all of them, almost single handedly creates and propagate common muslims and its scholars into disregarding 3 other God Guidance's. peoples in power, it cronies, and big business that closed to muslim countries rulers push and push relentlessly to narrow interpretation on morals and public interest thru perverted interpretation on the holy scripture. even, they dare to appoint unqualified islamic scholar as qadi for them to uses as fatwa producers in favors to their vested interest. since then, islamic civilization goes down spiral into inevitable decline from it's greatness. many fatwa produced in their regime will makes serious, genuine, and responsible islamic scholar scratching their head and shocked. fatwa on mihnah policy, on banning printing technology, banning radio, tv, google, youtube, etc, are among of perverted interpretation on holy scripture. it lead to tradition/repetition/reinforcement on using narrow interpretation islamic law for beating and punishing dissent and discontent on social injustice in islamic society. furthermore, it lead islamic society to become close minded, anti science, and trapped in textual approach tradition on just 1 god guidance called al quran (ayat Qauliyah) only, with narrow and more narrow interpretation. common muslim today and it scholar today are the real victims of bad fatwa born from dark alliance between high power, it cronies, big business that closed to muslim rulers before them. lets wake them up, by spreading the real genuine of God Guidance's and it's rightful interpreters that we called: sciences. amen.

Arabic doesn't need Philosophy I guess . Because there is already covered by Muhammad through Qur'an.
