Hi Mam, can you list out books that inspired you. Also books on good thinking and how we can improve the way we think.. Christian philosophy books
@joyjere8292 Thank you for watching, and for your questions. I took a picture of my favorite shelf in my library for you. I’ll post it below. I recommend all of these books. They will help you in many ways. I’ll be praying for your growth and edification. 🙏 EDIT: I cannot post a photo in my comments, so I’ll post it in my KZread community feed. Please let me know if you have any questions.

I’m glad to see this, Dr Burton. I look forward to listening. We miss you at Maricopa!
Thank you. Working hard on publishing.
Dr. Burton. I appreciate your truth and call to evaluation.
Thank you!
I’m reading philosophical foundations and I don’t understand how if something is contrary to the law thought then it cannot be a thought Because I’m still thinking it? It’s just not right reasoning. Please direct me to further clarity.
I am glad you are reading Philosophical Foundation. I hope it is helpful to you. If something is contrary to the laws of thought, then it cannot be. An example is a square circle. A square has four equal sides. A circle has all points on the circumference equidistant from the center. These are two different kinds of things. They cannot be equated. We cannot have a square circle. We cannot think a square circle. Does that help? If you have further questions on this topic, I would suggest checking out some of the Introduction to Philosophy lectures on reason. They are in this playlist: kzread.info/head/PLIFTXEjwfC5N6bWvKLVYn9Xy5E16ZCm3L&si=4KExbwhI7OITFrkA
Can there be multiple highest goods without contradiction?
Doesn’t the term “highest” denote one/unity? Perhaps you have an example in mind?

Thank you for your videos.
Thank you for watching!
does buddhism have a concept of paradise and hell like all the major religions do?
Some strands of Buddhism have a heaven-like place. I don’t recall there being a hell in Buddhism.
just discovered your channel ill be binging through your videos
Thank you!
This is interesting. Thanks.
Thank you!
nonsecular
So this is more focused on western philosophy rather than eastern. I would be curious to see your timeline on eastern philosophies
I have an eastern timeline in mind, but I have much more research to do to see if there are similar patterns. My suspicion is that there are different patterns.
Thank you for this very helpful video I hope you have a wonderful career
Thank you very much!
Thank you thank you thank you for using visuals!!!
Glad you like them!
Slowly making my way through all your videos. Thank you for ALL this hard work! I went all the way through seminary without one logic or philosophy class. That shouldn’t have been possible. Learning the basics of philosophy and logic are key to understanding. Because of you, I’m learning now. Thank you.
I am glad you are benefiting from the videos. Thank you for the encouraging words. Keep going with philosophy!
Even more, what violates the grounding laws of Logic is wrong, ergo Impossible, ergo non-existent.
Great 👍
Thank you! 😊
Thanks so much for these videos! I really appreciate your work
Thank you, Daniel!
Us sunnis also believe in the Mahdi. The Shias believe in a heretical understanding of the Mahdi. They do not believe in the proper mahdi.
10:21 Actually no. These are not the only divisions. There are 73 different Divisions, some more popular than others, according to Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). The 3 you mentioned here are top 3 most popular ones right now, the popularity may change in the next century. However, Sunni Islam is the only correct understanding of Islam. Some of them are not included in the 73 divisions, like the ultra sufis who worship graves, they are not considered to be inside this 73 divisions at all. Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said 72/73 will go to the Hellfire.
I like this. An Unbiased video! Love it! I would love to see you collab with the Channel Muslim Lantern. It would be a fantastic collab!
Thank you for sharing your insights.
i rationally justify utilitarianism under the notion that contributions to the greater good serve to make the path easier for future generations. this assumes suffering to be objectively bad though, which some stoics might disagree with this worldview heavily incorporates aspects of humanism and deontology, however
Have you considered that suffering may be for our good? See the video on The Ironic Solution to the problem of evil in this playlist.
👍🏻Still learning so much from you. Thank you!
So glad to her! Thank you.
The I of the first of the two squares is listed as false while its contradiction is also listed as false.
I know. I couldn’t figure out how to edit it, so I left it and offered extra credit to those who found the mistake. 👍
How do you know that only an Infinite Being can create ex nihilo?
It takes infinite power to create ex nihilo. A finite being cannot create anything.
@18:42 Note to self
Great lighting and set up I hope this channel grows
Thank you!
I am from a Reformed background, who is interested in Christian philosophy and Apologetics. I searched for Christian Philosophy and landed on this video. Thank you, Ma’am for sharing these videos. I’m learning a lot from these videos. It is so clear and concise for a layman like me. God bless!! ❤
I am Reformed too. Thank you very much for watching. Here are some books and papers you may be interested in: thelogospapers.com/
Great, may I reupload on tiktok?
Yes, please do.

I hate confirmation bias so much, it's like a cult that everyone is into, and nobody is self-aware enough to know that they are doing it.
I will point out two problems with your argument. First, all you've shown is that a handful of explanations for an eternal universe are either empirically wrong or logically impossible. The problem is that doesn't show that all other possible scientific explanations are impossible. Second, and more importantly, there is a deeper problem with your approach. All of your supporting arguments for the minor premise (8, 9, and 10) rely on inductive inferences (that is, empirical observations). You cannot derive a logically certain conclusion from inductive premises. Elsewhere you have said "knowledge" and "clarity" require that you show the logical impossibility of the alternatives. Disproving a handful of explanations doesn't mean all explanations are impossible, and using induction to prove clarity is a fatal mistake.
These same objections? The reasons for the minor premise for the first argument against material monism rely on reason not on inductive inferences. Go back and study the Logic videos on concept formation.
So exciting! It’s great to hear about all the progress that is being made!
I love the “guess he doesn’t give the option of losing and not dying” 😂
4:27 disagreed on this paragraph If there is being then how you can say that being came from non being 🤨🤨 Being came from your awareness from your question • Where do this world exist? - In your mind Bcause the world is not saying to you that it exist, it is you , your mind, your senses which witness the world Being came from your question and your assumption that you exist.... You feel that you are, so you exist... You exist because you are experiencing it... First assumption iis,"i exist and this world exist " this is fundamental mistake bcause you declared your experiences as truth This is द्वैत dwaita And your identity is अद्वैत non duallity
Maybe you should check out my videos on the nature of being in the Logic Basics playlist. kzread.info/head/PLIFTXEjwfC5Ob86V5XYxDEwDunVC2FKty&si=uJmeTe1FaTB6F0p1
The knowledge about the ultimate-meaningful (Paramartha) realities (Dhamma) explains the scientific process between the mind (Citta), mental factors (Cetacika), and matter (Rupa). The international institue of Theravada is the best place to study about them online in English. Ven. Watawala Maggavihari Thera's explanations about the process of matter (Rupa) is superb.
You do not exist at all😂 Your thinking and your experiences that you are different from a piece of stone is your अहं ego which is false It is just प्रकृति nature That is why kabeer das says माटी कहे कुम्हार से तू क्या रौंदे मोय एक दिन ऐसो आयेगो मै रौंदूगी तोय Come in geeta session of acharya prashant❤ he just clear everything he connects ashtavakra geeta with shri krishna's bhagwadgeeta and connects mahavakyas of upanishads ❤
If I don’t exist, why comment on my KZread channel?
So in my opinion the conclusion of the video is.... Open your eyes....you are human and you have a ability to think....and when you not think and go with the flow you suffer....so to avoid suffering you have to think properly... Think about your weakness note it down Think who you are in your life.....what is your role in your world..... Think everything what you can.... Because only animals are those who live and not think very much about their lives..... No dog will say i have to colonize mars😂😂 as elon says So we humans have an opportunity to know.....noone in our earth has that ability So use your powers by thinking Think why you think😂😂 And also think who is thinking this that we are thinking You will get someone in you who always thinks And that who thinks is the same who is thinking this whole thing😂 So just think and laugh on ourselves that why we think. I think our mind is searching for something by thinking.... A thought always arises for something... We want something that is why we are thinking And the proof of this statement is this when we get what we wanted we don't think about it
I can see this video got you thinking. 😉
7:02 Hello teacher May i be your friend but I am just 19 yo Oh! By mentioning my age I am agreeing on this thought that only persons with same age and opposite gender may become friends..😂 No no i was just filling comment section with love ❤ which is arising by consiousness 😊 not by body as every blind person in this world is running for....😢
What is friendship? Lol. Yeah, we can be friends.
Wow! It's just amazing... Hello mam I'm 19 yo from india 🇮🇳 and I am in search of truth😂...i am starting my journey by reading scriptures.....thinking....making notes of it..... My inclination towards philosophy came from this person ( in my dp) .... He is Acharya prashant....teaches upanishads.....essence of vedas.....and specially teaches advaita vedanta I'll surely watch all of your videos and will make proper notes in my words..... It's my request please bring a series on non duallity also I want to know how philosophers handle it... I have a lot of doubts in my mind....😂 If you will show your response on my comment i will surely ask it .. And it's my request please watch Acharya prashant on youtube and tell us what he is doing in your opinion...... Sorry i know i am asking you to watch someone's video but please watch it and what are your thoughts about him tell us...... Because today I am commenting on your video , the reason behind this event is acharya prashant.....😂 He has changed my life my thoughts...my thinking process....broke all of imaginations..... In acharya's language that eternal truth is आत्मा aatma He teaches vedanta So i enjoyed your session ❤ Please bring more session like this😊 I will not say love from india 🇮🇳 because i know from where it comes .... 😅
This is a good refresher. Thank you Dr. Kelly!
Thank you, Chris!
Appeal to Pity: Those kitten rescue commercials with really sad music saying something crazy like "every 5 minutes you don't call, another kitten dies (exaggeration)". One time, my little sister (probably 6 at the time) actually paused the TV and called the number on our landline while we were all sitting around talking, oblivious to her until we hear her say "Hi, can I please have the white one with the spot from the commercial?" in her cute little six year old voice.
Thank you
Thank you!
I am very happy that you put these up on youtube for me to come back to and remind myself of the fundamentals of logic and reason! you will always be the first person to teach me about philosophy but thanks to you you will not be the last! Thank you professor, from the bottom of my heart.
I am so glad to hear from you Dylan! Keep pursuing philosophy.
hey, i've found these videos super helpful. a group of guys and i go through the book together as a study, following along with your read-along. do you plan on continuing making these?
Thank you for letting me know! I plan on making new videos very soon. We’ve been building our new house and it’s almost done. My video studio should be ready this week. Your comment is motivating.
