Thanks, that’s great to hear!

I completed my PhD 3 years ago but this has encouraged me to re read a particular genre of book ie Epistemic Injustice ( Fricker, Medina) and try and apply it to how certain narratives were rubbished during the pandemic. I’m suddenly re energised😁

Great idea! Glad this video sparked an idea.

Whoosh, so glad that not all "philosophy" is needed.

This really helpful, especially the advice to read contemporary philosophers. Would be great to get some specific reading recommendations

Thanks! I’ll have a think about contemporary reading suggestions.

I remember reading Thomas aquinas on essence & being thinking I’m gonna fly through these six chapters just to be proved wrong .

Great format for reading philosophy. Makes me wonder why more pieces aren’t written with it, too. Worth applying to the big ‘cornerstone’ papers you can discover as an undergrad - Gettier, Nagel, Quine etc… I disagree, though, that no one is going to find books on formal analysis fun - personally, I think they’re the most fun of all!

Oh yeah, I loved it as an undergrad too, but I think there weren’t that many others!

Thank you for the great philosophy content! Do you have any tips for leading a philosophy seminar? Any good practices you use to get students really engaging with the material and discussing with each other?

Nice video sir ! I have a request if you don't Mind ... I know you have many videos where you speak about Logic , but Can you make some Videos about the functions Of various Kinds of Logic Like namely , where do we use different Kinds of Logic Like propositional Logic , formal/informal Logic , modal Logic ...etc?

As a general rule, you use the simplest logic you can for a particular application. So, if you have arguments about all/some of something, you need quantifiers, so use FOL. If you need to talk about possibility or necessity, use modal logic. If you have both, you need quantified modal logic. And so on.

Hello :) thank you for your videos :) I am 2nd year philosophy student at university of Nottingham. May I request you to make a video about philosophy essay exam in limited time, please? Your assignment guide (like writing essay and how to read philosophy like this video) has been tremendously helping me :) and essay exam is coming now and I have no clue. Thank you so much always

I did this one a few weeks back, I was thinking about UoN exams, any good? How to write better sentences kzread.info/dash/bejne/gp9h16yJlZCdf7A.html

Where can we go to find these contemporary wider readings if our lecturers don’t give it to us? Are there certain key words etc we can use or somewhere we should look?

Probably best is the (free, online) Stanford Encyclopaedia of Philosophy. The articles are all written by experts & peer-reviewed (so not Wikipedia), and have great lists of references you can follow. Also good are the Philosophy Compass articles and Analysis 'Recent Work In ...' articles (if you have a university log-in for these).

I like how you picked Truth and Other Enigmas for the thumbnail... video on how to read Dummett next?

That would be a painful video!

But information eating is fun! A bit of Plato, Plotinus some Descartes, and Schopenhauer, Marx. Now Descartes demon could move atoms in such a way to give an inanimate object thought so that it thinks it's thinking. Now The demon is sad and isn't getting payed for it's labour, and identifies with unity and that's not The Good. Great videos! these have been fun to consume.
