The muppets make a short film about the existential philosophy of Phenomenology. An extra ordinary achievement!

I always wondered what they were saying. With this translation, it all makes sense now.

THIS! I’m writing my thesis on phenomenology and I swear my adhd brain can’t grasp it
This is phenomenal
So clever and funny! I love the bit where Mahna Mahna goes out of the door marked "Exit", and then phones Kermit... a reference to Sartre's "No Exit"??
One of my favorite bits EVER on the Muppets show.... made even more Phenomenal with the translation!
Thank you Alan !!! This makes a rainy shine bright !
This doesn't describe phenomenology at all, but it is still entertaining.

Aidan V Dermot Moran's book is probably the best one out there for getting a comprehensive account of phenomenology. Here is a link to a pdf. If you just want an overview, you can stick with the Introduction. Otherwise, he goes into plenty depth for individual phenomenologists. www2.arnes.si/~jlozar2/6%20FENOMENOLOGIJA%20D%20BOLONJSKI%20PROGRAM/MORAN.pdf

Aidan V Although Peirce is considered the founder of pragmatism, he addressed phenomenology in context of a broader architectonic. Here's a little excerpt from his work (Collected papers, Charles Sanders Peirce): §2. The Scientific Imagination 46. When a man desires ardently to know the truth, his first effort will be to imagine what that truth can be. He cannot prosecute his pursuit long without finding that imagination unbridled is sure to carry him off the track. Yet nevertheless, it remains true that there is, after all, nothing but imagination that can ever supply him an inkling of the truth. He can stare stupidly at PHENOMENA; but in the absence of imagination they will not connect themselves together in any rational way. You can learn more about his interests by perusing the Commens dictionary ( www.commens.org/dictionary/term/phenomenology ), and then compare against other phenomenologists like Husserl and Goethe, the latter of whom is also not quite a phenomenologist but incorporates the best ideas.

That's the point. There is no sense. you cant make sense out of chaos because nature is chaotic.
Haven't laughd so much for ages. Thank you for that. It's genius
And then the clouds parted, and I saw that the waters and winds were reflections of myself. I cursed the creep that burned me and I laughed and laughed until there was nothing left.

OMG !!!! They are so right. It's a good illustration of how you can feel when reading Husserl's book: spend one hour trying to understand one sentence !!! Philosophy must not be complicated in its formulation. And this is Moshi and Fredo duty to make it as easy and funny as possible !!!

this is cute!! superb! excellent and i really love the song! thanks!
Can't get it out of my head! Don't know why? Guess it is simply a phenomena!
A bit of brilliance there, me boy-o!
Okay so this is the best thing I've ever seen
Never gets old!
Thank you , great insight
Finally a straight forward video.
Love this!
This is absolute gold.
This is hilarious! I can't stop watching it. LOL
Very very good job.
THIS IS BRILLIANT ! AH MAH GAD!
I will never be able to unsee this...
Wonderfull. Now finally I understand.
Eğlenceli felsefi bir şov! Bir kavrama bir aşinalık kattığı da bir gerçek... Teşekkürler....
I’m just gonna turn this in as my thesis on phenomenology
This is the best song ever.
Love it.
Phenomena! Los Muppets explican la Fenomenología... :D
Brilliant😄 Can I use it in my viva?
this makes me die in a happy way
i love humankind
The best
and in ritornello form.
Now I get it.
Just we don´t have to understand all the life and all the world, because we are not able to know ALL! Great video!

Huh, strange that Husserl and Heidegger spent so much time describing phenomena "we can't understand." :eye roll:

To "accept life as it is" is to give too much power to your interpretation of it.

gary jones interesting...perhaps we can cultivate non-jundgemental awareness that gets "close enough" to having a clear awareness of our biases as we interact with the world?

Not necessarily. It reminds me of the Coen brothers movie A Serious Man which begins with a saying from Rashi: Accept with simplicity everything that happens to you. Then the movie shows Larry (modern Job), who can't do that but questions everything.
phenomena do doooo do do...
The biggest unanswered question is: is there something beneath the surface that animates us?
All this did was help me give up on trying to understand Phenomenology
Do try to make sense of it. It can be done!
the buttress
Awesome video kinda scary tho not gonna lie😂
Phenomenology just sounds like empiricist skepticism/nihilism too me. Did the phenomenologists understand rationalism/a priorism? Do phenomenologists deny the ultimate truth of logical principles? Do they think that sympathetic understanding is absurd?

The video has absolutely nothing to do with phenomenology. Phenomenology is the inquiry into your moment-to-moment experience. It's not about your senses or "taking life as it is".

Taxtro - you should know better than to try to claim a definite definition of Phenomenology. The whole heart of it is that it's new and gets repeatedly defined by each new person/ enquiry. Please stop trying to sound like a "know it all" and enjoy the video and "get with" the actual ground of this great little philosophical offshoot.
Yeaaaaah! :D "Phenomena" ... a basta.
thank you so much... muppets rulez///
I hate that this is a banger (as a meme. The song was already a banger)
sono mama
Lol
So Critical Theory is just reading between the lines?
And this is why we have people suffering from the "Mandela Effect" cause 5 years or so from now...some person is gonna watch this and claim to be from an alternate universe where it was ..."Mahna mahna"
:D :)))))))))))
wat???
Statler and Waldorf say it best: The question is, what is a phenomena? The question is, who cares?
im reading gudorfs speaking (la parole) and i dont understand shit fml
Funny and at the same time misleading and beside the point.

Radka - Sorry, but your retort is incorrect - The video is a good representation of Phenomenology. You haven't done your research. "Phenomenology: A unique and final definition of phenomenology is dangerous and perhaps even paradoxical as it lacks a thematic focus. In fact, it is not a doctrine, nor a philosophical school, but rather a style of thought, a method, an open and ever-renewed experience having different results, and this may disorient anyone wishing to define the meaning of phenomenology" This video comes absolutely within those guidelines. Now sit down, and take a life lesson from the Muppets!
ahahahaha
Good vid but this sounds more like kantian transcendental idealism than phenomenology
That's not phenomenology. Who creates a channel called "phenomenology" without knowing what it's even about?
