Dear sir: I took a Chinese history course and the professor says Taoism is pronounced Daoism

@stevechu4566

Жыл бұрын

@@oobrocks In Chinese language, 道 is pronounced as Dao throughout history. Both English words Tao and Dao refer to the same Chinese character 道. However 道 was translated into Taoism before People's Republic of China adopted the Romanization system of Pinyin in 1958. After the Pinyin system was adopted in China, the word 道 has been translated into Dao, hence Daoism. Today, one can pronounce the word Taoism as Taoism and Daoism as Daoism. It would be a bit odd to pronounce Taoism as Daoism, although there is no right or wrong about pronouncing both words interchangeably. People will understand it either way.

It is actually the right path. One should emerged into ideas that one disagrees with and analyze why the philosopher believed those concepts. Every philosopher is bound to their time. But is in focusing on their insights each and everyone of them provided that you can further build a stronger philosophy. 🫡

Thanks for the advice. As a 43 yo, I'm gonna start to philosophy major in the fall semester. This video is a huge summary, gives a broad aspect of what is what who is who in philosophy. I think I will study it a couple of times.

This episode is an ambitious undertaking and is surprisingly well done. This is one of the few philosophical presentations that connect western and eastern philosophies in a succinct and meaningful way, probably due to author's Indian upbringing and in-depth knowledge of western philosophy. Highly recommended.

I come back this video over and over again. Maybe once a week for different chapters. Each time it stimulates new thoughts. It’s like a therapy (which is maybe just what philosophy is ultimately?).

I usually listen to individual philosopher ideas without seeing the bigger picture. Thank you for making this! This has opened my eyes to the world of philosophy.

I have never seen anyone before put together such a simple understanding of this subject. GOOD JOB.

This video is a Master piece! Thank you for all your work and for summarizing human thought. 🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I think I resonated the most with Kant, but I love Zizek for his willingness to challenge and be disruptive while laughing about it. I also find Foucault and his take on power very interesting, but I also value the sense of balance that Aristotle developed... So yeah, still thinking about where we're heading, but intuition is a very great guess. Once again, amazing video!! 🙌🏽

I love your videos so much! Thank you for summarizing these philosophical ideas. I would love to learn more about applied philosophy, and how philosophical wisdom can help solve modern problems.

Thank you very much for this summary on philosophy and introduction to so many different thinkers. At the end of the day i usually go for a 1 hour walk and enjoy listening to your videos. This unusually long video accompanied me for about 16km ... and eventually i would like to give several thumbs up. I enjoyed particularly the chapter on the differences between western and eastern philosophies and how geography and the ways of living influenced philosophy and mentality. Looking forward to your next videos !

Thankyou so much. I am just developing my interest in philosophy and your work and efforts has helped me gain a brief overview of the subject.

An ambitious project that you have accomplished excellently ! Thank you.

This was an absolute joy to listen to. I appreciate the work you put into this. I’ve resonated the most with Nietzsche personally, although admittedly I have not read enough philosophy yet to say definitively that another philosopher wouldn’t hit closer to home for me. I can see the future of philosophy heading towards developing the intuition of the self. Already I am noticing a trend in society of people who are turning away from modernity’s promise of what brings happiness. More people are realizing that their fulfillment cannot come from anywhere other than the self. In addition to that, with our exposure to clashing world views having increased drastically so much in the last 15 years I believe more people will have to adopt Nietzsche’s views on morality to keep themselves from suffering from all the ideological clashing. I believe as the good word spreads that recognizing there is no one “goodness” or “truth” out there and that we can healthily disagree on anything, people will want to adopt that world view more and the people who stay tethered to a single ideology will begin to be shunned.

One of the best educational thing I have ever come across on KZread. Thank you very much.

Btw Why do 99% of your videos are based on western stupidity which they call "philosophy" and you've also termed it as "philosophy", I may be over generalising western so-called philosophical literature, but my over generalisation is right to many context. Yes, Socrates is an exception. But all other psychologist turned philosophers haven't really wrote much compared to what Aryan Saints(Noble Saints) have wrote in India. You're of Indian origin and You only talk about those who are popular Indian like Buddha or Tagore or your understanding is not enough to deeply understand other than Buddha and Tagore? Anyway, If you really understood Buddha, then it is enough to sum up the conclusions of all Indian philosophies. But, meditation becomes torturous sometimes, and this is when you look up to other philosophical works coming from a religion which is not discussed publicly for it's contribution to humanity.

I’m so grateful for the many hours and effort you put into this video. What excellent work!! Although I’ve had general knowledge of all the philosophers covered, nothing I’ve read or watched has tied the history and the reason for their distinction together so clearly. I’m going to recommend this to friends, but more importantly, to my adult children. I have one comment: I tend to look for what philosophers said about the optimal way to live my life (acknowledging my unavoidable biases). So, instead of seeing where they are different, I search for all the aspects of their thought where they overlap, (even if their own egos have been obstacles on the road to synthesis). I don’t see them as 100% at odds with each other. I run the similarities through my internal ‘judgement’ ie - does it “feel right” - based on my moral/ethical constructs (biases) and my life experience. Those then become my truth. The support of these philosophers then gives me the confidence to create my own principles for living. This has been most enjoyable!I can’t wait to watch your other videos. Thank you. ❤

@@Fiction_Beast Jagadish Vasudev OBVIOUSLY possesses an above-average intellect (although he often makes truly inane statements, such as “plants are more sensitive than animals, and they scream in pain when being eaten”). However, if anyone considers him a "Sadhguru" then kindly explain to me how a so-called "prophet” (Jagadguru) can possibly support the two most PERNICIOUS institutions in the history of the world... F.I.S.H. Paragraph 28. Feminism is the penultimate evil at present because feminism is based on the misguided assumption that women are equal to or even superior to men. Although a female can exhibit superior traits, skills, etcetera, to some men, a woman can never have AUTHORITY over a man. Truth be told, no true man would ever descend to the level of accepting counsel from any of his subordinates. A man should fully obey his appointed masters and never emasculate himself by submitting to the dictates of a female. Feminism and democracy are guaranteed to destroy society, as can be clearly seen at present. However, feminism will NEVER EVER be destroyed until the most pernicious institution is first destroyed: F.I.S.H Paragraph 26. Democracy is evil because the masses will invariably choose the murderous Barabbas over the good King Jesus. This planet is surely doomed unless the most pernicious institution ever known to man (democracy) is replaced by the only legitimate form of government (monarchy - preferably a good monarch, though even a bad king is preferable to being ruled by an elected official who can never be good). Most of the problems in human society are directly or indirectly attributable to this relatively modern phenomenon, since it is the government’s role and sacred duty to enforce the law. Just because good and bad are relative, does not imply that they do not exist. They do exist but are relative. A democrat can never be good, despite appearing so. One of the many sinister characteristics of democracy, communism and other evil forms of governance, is the desire for their so-called “leaders” to attempt to control or at least influence the personal lives of every single citizen. For example, in the wicked, decadent nation where this holy scripture was composed, The Southland (or Australia as it is known in the Latin tongue), the demonic government tries and largely succeeds in controlling the rights of parents to properly raise, discipline and punish their children according to their own morals, limiting legitimate powers an employer has over his servants, persecuting religious leaders (even to imprisonment and death, believe it or not) and even trying to influence what people eat and wear. Not that a government shouldn’t control what its citizens wear in public, but it should ensure that they are modestly dressed, which is hardly the case in Australia and similar nations. Basically, the worst of the democratic governments promote or at least permit all things contrary to God’s perfect and pure will such as adultery, fornication, prostitution, pornography, homosexuality, gambling (even running lotteries themselves), illegitimate abortion of poor innocent unborn children, irreligion, drug addiction, disrespect for authority and promoting materialism and ignorance via a powerful network of institutions of miseducation (so-called “schools, colleges and universities”). Let it be known however - democracy can not and will not endure. The truth shall triumph! Democracy is only acceptable within large business corporations, where the shareholders must vote on who will be the company bosses and other matters. To read the remaining chapters of “A Final Instruction Sheet for Humanity”, which are the most accurate spiritual precepts so far in human history, Email me with the acronym “FISH” in the subject field. 🐟 “The gateway to KNOWLEDGE is ignorance”. 🤓

Thank you for making this video ❤ you took lots of efforts for us 💗

at first i wasnt going to write anything, but then i thought of how unfair it wouldve been to take all that information and give nothing in return. To answer your question at the end, i believe in the coming centuries, or even decades, we will see a sort of renaissance of philosophy, a return to great ideas and ideologies of past times. as of late we’ve seen ideas such as stoicism return through self help and self improvement creators on social media platforms. these creators implant their views onto the youth and from there the youth will adapt and evolve these views and ideas. whether thats a good or bad thing i cannot say. since most of these creators are men targeting boys and young men, i think theres a great possibility that for female targeted philosophies will evolve as well. another idea is that since most of these creators seem to be conservative, we will see another branch of philosophy grow, a more liberal one, in order to combat the conservative views of these new aged philosophers. i also think the idea that philosophy will branch off into the study of intuition as opposed to rationality and instinct is interesting as well. thank you for this video, 2 hours and 30 minutes put to good use. the joy of learning something you’re interested in is unlike anything else and so for gifting me that, again, thank you.

It showed me how to look at my mind without judgement. It is my opinion that the west teaches guild and shame and it is layered so thick that most people are afraid to look into their mind. It has been a long journey, but I have learned to ask questions like "were did you get that idea" and found that idea came from someone else. Once you know what you think you can choose to keep it or not. We are not victims. I chose peace and harmony and for me it is a reality.. As you think so you will be.

In praise and on a side note before I get to the answer of the question at the end of the video, I would like to say that, I was able to get through the end of the video and I am happy to inform you that this was my first structured lesson in Philosophy, a kind crash course or an enlightenment and exposure to a body of knowledge 2500 years old and all of it in a 2hr30+ session, I am akin a to a proverbial "knowledge virgin" who has just been deflowered, and I loved it. I think that personally I tend to resonate with these philosophies: 1.kant's middle ground of empiricism and rationality. 2.The eastern approach of focusing on yourself as the primary agent to change,but with an understanding of the viability and practicality to pursue change in my environment, hence I came to understand why I believe in the concept of universal sufferage or the right to vote, voting being an act of democracy and of determining ones fate. On the question of the future of Philosophy, I believe in the inference thay historical determination will pervade, in that the question of the death of Philosophy will one day become a Philosophy in itself, meaning there shall be new ways of looking at the fundamental questions of life from a lens of elementary ashes of the traditional philosophy which will represent the good old philosophy but with a more modern flavor. I hope that I was able to answer clear and valid points. Keep up the good work 🙏🙏🙏

This was an excellent video. Well done. I did wish you expanded more on intuition. Jonathan Haidt's book called "The Righteous Mind" delved on how morality originates first from intuition then reason. But this agrees on David Hume's stance on how reason is a slave to our passions which you've mentioned already. I don't really have any favourites but I find myself being more interested in empiricism views of Hume, Schopenhauer and Kierkegaard. As well as traditional views of Tagore, Sadhguru, Guenon and Simone Weil.

I love this video, but as a Buddhist, your description of it is a bit off. Buddhists don’t believe in any soul, we see the person as an aggregate of matter, feelings, cognition, volitions, and consciousness, and a being is merely a stream of this like Heraclitus’s thought of never stepping in the same river twice. By stopping clinging and craving of these phenomena, Nirvana, which is kinda like Schopenhauer’s thought of the Will is achieved thus enlightenment. Ignorance of that is thus the creator of all suffering.
