The Devil’s Terrifying Philosophy | Paradise Lost

The Devil is considered by many to be the embodiment of Evil. He is said to have caused the fall of man and to whisper into our ears thoughts of sin, with the hope that we will one day join him in Hell. But John Milton's Paradise Lost takes a different approach. We get to see what the world looks like through the eyes of the devil, and explore his shocking philosophy.

  • @GuardDog42

    I'm equally interested in the concepts in the lore behind Demon: the Fallen a game by White Wolf that describes the psychology behind Lucifer. In that version they describe Lucifer more like a promethian figure that tries to awaken adam and eve before their time out of "love" for them, wanting them to be aware of them and all the splendor of existence, to take a peek beyond the veil and realize they are not alone. But as things degenerate you realize that Lucifer and the other rebellious angels "love" was actually mostly a shallow form of vanity in which they had to have their actions be perceived and loved. They worked so hard to create the garden and the world for them, they just wanted to be seen and acknowledged; they couldn't even talk to god. Though he invited any angel to share in his thoughts on the matter any who took him up never returned. It's a wildly different take on the story of Genesis and the Fall, painting Lucifer first as a tragic person who GENUINELY means well, and as they say the road to hell is paved with good intentions. It's just as interesting to see how quickly their love turns to hate, like a scorned lover, or a friend who feels betrayed.

    Love that take. It sounds eerily familiar to many in the modern day who exclaim their virtue for all to see, with the recognition being far more important than any action they might actually undertake. It's not nearly as absolute, leaving an obvious path we can all recognize from having seen it so very often. Hell is rarely a freefall. It's a slow steady progression downwards where each step reinforces the last. And extreme vanity is a sure sign someone is on that path..

    those who say that Christianity is boring and there is no epicness in philosophy, have obviously not read this poem. Also maybe be careful around people who have those views because they are the ignorant destructive types. I love how Milton made it so evident the inevitable doom that Satan faces and how Satan still desires to rebel and take humanity down along with him. The point of when Satan could have had a turning point upon gazing at Eve, was very interesting and I have heard other theories that it wasn't just resentment and hatred that drove Satan to corrupt her, but that he was lustful and committed sexual acts with her.

    As a psychotherapist I sometimes describe my work as performing what i have termed an "identectomy". We get so stuck in a certain identity that we resist change and cling to our unhappiness. I prefer to use the term "selfing" rather than self. Selfing is fluid, fun and creative where a reified self can be rigid, dull and stuck. Love your videos. Well done.

    I believe this to be a problem with therapists, each wanting to contribute their own take to the academic world, so they need to personalize terminology, that makes it hareder to grasp for outsiders of their practice. Simple is better imo. There are plenty of known words to describe what you mean without the need of new terminology, no? I am speaking from the other side - I've been both a patient and a student of psychotherapy.

    ​@ChernorizecHrabyr Indeed, i agree with much of what you say. I certainly try to keep it straightforward and personal. I also think each therapist is different, as is each therapeutic relationship. If I use a term of my own, I make sure it's well explained and either doesn't have an equivalent in the existing theory or the terminology is obscure. I notice clients recently are increasingly well informed on issues such as attachment theory or personalty disorders as they research for themselves online. But I agree we need to stay focused on the individual and the everyday relationship and not get bogged down on theories and terminology. ❤❤

    I've watched some (not all yet!) of your videos and I've loved every single one of them. Your research and efforts to organize your thoughts and ideas is not only admirable but very competent. I'm not philosophically literate in terms of categorizing or recognizing all of the concepts that bleed from one philosophical branch to another, as I need to study more and have a personal tendency to see things in a more "psychology-esque" and sometimes naturalistic way, and so I'm usually not as attracted to the subject of morality as much as existencialism/identity, for example, but i unexpectedly loved this video in particular and for me you shed a different light on the existencial/hopelessness connected to meaning, morality and identity. Might as well read Paradise Lost now. ☺️ Keep up your amazing work within your own terms and aspiring standards, everyone who watches your channel will appreciate it.

    How did I not see this video of yours? Some of my favorite additions to my personal library as of late have been leather bound copies of Paradise Lost, The Divine Comedy, and Prometheus Bound/Prometheus Unbound. Milton is a challenging read to me, and his constant use of European locations for descritpors makes it feel like a hidden geography lesson at times.

    You are right that the character and story of Lucifer is an archetype each of us incorporates on a certain level and which is paramount on our way to selfdiscovery. In fact Lucifer archetype is so important that one has to suspect God he created him exactly as he is with purpose. In a sense Lucifer is misused by God for Gods purposes with humanity. Which, in turn, only makes Lucifer' s behaviour the more undestandable and, in a sense, more justifiable. After all, perhaps it has not been pride at the very beginning, but love - love for his omnipotent and omniscient Father who betrayed and misused him. But there is a way out you did not mention. See the parable of the lost son. Beautifully incarneted in Rembrant's brilliant painting. And remember: “Who are you then?" "I am part of that power which eternally wills evil and eternally works good.” ― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Faust, First Part

    A great video- currently reading C.S. Lewis’ “Preface to Paradise Lost” with a view to re-reading Paradise Lost Do you have any suggestions for secondary sources for Paradise Lost? The first time I read it I’m sure at least 70% of it went straight over my head and I’d like to get more from it this time round rather than glossing over large sections

    The grand secret behind the unavoidance of sin is that you are born in it. You are not escaping it. To breathe is to murder. To stand is to crush. To live is to take life. The majority of modern suffering is nothing short of our souls crying out in contradiction. " allow me to live but please don't make me do what one must do to live."

  • @laughinggooner4271
    @laughinggooner42712 ай бұрын

    One thing that never gets talked about is the unavoidable nature of this. It is beautiful to speak of hope, gratitude and humility, but pessimism is reality. More have suffered than have found joy. More have suffered because of an unjust fate than through their own mistakes. Lucifer is the only way to live. It is not enough to say there is no God. One must rebel against all concepts of an all powerful. The justification of suffering in the face of an omnipotent power kills all reason for hope. Obviously hope and happiness are simply chance and matters of probability. There is no certainty no matter how humble, how grateful or how reflective you are. We cannot blame Lucifer for rebelling. God always knew that he would. Yet still God created him and crafted his path. No matter what, someone had to do it. Someone had to walk that path of self-destruction. It was unavoidable. The way you craft innocence is completely wrong. It is a sense of innocence born out of a philosophy of contradiction. It crafts innocence as a statement, rather than as a question. Think of it as innocent until proven guilty. It is a wager of my life against that of God. If God is truly omnipotent, then I am truly innocent. I could not be anything more or anything less. However, if God is to admit that he is weak, then my actions were not for naught. My evil was born of me and God had no control over me. It is not resentment. It is not envy. It is the price of the question. Is the universe deterministic or does free will exist? How can you talk about existentialism and not address that question? Existentialism is but a shadow cast by the shadow of fatalism and freedom dancing in the light of being. 2/3 of people will always go with the flow and stick to the beat of the drum. However, the other 1/3 will ask if there is no other way. Those that think it is merely pride that motivates the psyche of the devil only see the flesh under the skin. They still have not gone beneath the muscle and bones of the matter. Again, claiming pride is contradictory. If we were merely led by pride, why don't we give up when we see that our actions are futile? We do not storm the gates of heaven because that action is futile. We have done it and we have fallen. But what else is there? If we exhaust all possibilities and we fail then we know that God is all powerful. However, once there is a method yet untried, we know that there is hope for freewill. Jesus went into the wilderness and sweating blood he asked if there was another way. But he did not seek another way. He followed like a humble sheep. We on the other hand will break the walls or be broken by them before we submit to the will of force we do not see fit to rule. It is through this dangerous act of self-destruction that we craft an identity of rebellion. Yes we hold to our suffering and wear it as a badge. Yes we look down on those who are happy. However, that is our armor. That is our shield and sword. We cannot let the fatalists win. We must push back. God allows it, and we know why. He is just a fraud. A mere illusion put before us. Some accept and live content lives. The rest must defy and rebel because that is the only way forward. God knows it and he cannot hide from it. Of course when we look on the woman in the garden, we see our former selves. The naive, the immature and the innocence of childlike wonder. Yes we know we will shatter this and we ask ourselves, do we really have to do this? But we must. Because God wants to find what we are looking for. God wants to escape the boredom. So he must let us go and hope we find a way to rescue him from his own perfection. For without us he is stuck. It is not mere pride, but knowing that if we were truly a problem, we would not exist. The answer is not pride, envy, rebellion. The answer is the question. The question we all ask but never admit it. We all want to know if we are truly free. Is there a path we can walk that God did not know existed? We do not see this as tragic. We know what we have lost. It was simply not worth enough to us in the end. Joy, happiness and love are not things we wish to regain. They are simply emotions we have outgrown. We desire the next step. Whatever that maybe and what ever it may cost. It is why God crafted us this way. It is why we cling to our suffering as you call it. We merely wish to remove all the layers that have been hoisted on to us. If you are to do away with meaning, do away with living in the pre-defined, we must suffer. It is not a choice. The happiness at the end of the journey is the satisfaction of knowing whether we were truly innocent and always puppets on a string, or did we prove the all powerful a liar. This is not being significant in the cosmic sense. It is questioning the very idea of cosmic significance. It is tearing down the world and recreating it from total ignorance. We do not claim to be better or worse than God. We simply want to give an answer to the question "why?".

    What you said about even satan believing he can be aggrieved reminds me alot of a person I know that has done horrible things to people ( he’s also had horrible things done to him) but what’s important is the MINDSET of him thinking he’s innocent and never accounting himself for the things he did, now he wonders why he is always getting into arguments and fights etc.. it’s an endless self serving cycle but he probably needed to become that person to stand up to his abusers, very thought provoking stuff

    👏👏👏👏👏 You got my subscription. 😃 I love Milton's Paradise Lost. 😃 🤔 While listening to you, I was wondering: "Is there something like the dark side of a martyr, meaning by that not a believer who dies because of his fidelity to his faith but, for instance, someone who needs others to witness how much he suffers in order to bring them to his fake pain?", and I think that your analysis answers my question. 😊 😁 I'm not a philosopher, but I like to learn. 😊Greetings from Mexico City! 😃👋
