Are there any philosophy or history or maybe even political science students in these comments? I am thinking about studying history, European history. Just looking for advice. I love this channel. There is an MA/PhD program at my local state university where I live and just any thoughts would be appreciated. I have a bachelors and masters in mechanical engineering and I absolutely hate working in my field as much of what I used to enjoy about engineering and physics is not included in the workplace Setting which is largely bureaucratic. I am just hoping to find some meaning in my journey of life, and really delve into something interesting to study.. Thanks.

Hello david, I wanted to let you know that you're doing quite a wonderful thing by teaching philosophy and making it so easy to understand. I love your explanations more than all the other philosophy channels I watch. You're so young and already have such a big impact on people's lives, its quite inspiring. I do hope that I can be as scholarly as you someday. Love from Bangladesh!

I think Spivak points out that they have a voice but cannot be heard. So, Third World women aren't completely voiceless.

These ideas are banal. Obviously there are styles which change in time or in other cultures to denote roles enacted. But the domain of the activity is determined biologically. Of course conventions are enacted, but identities are discovered NOT chosen. Grow up, philosophers!

Eichamann visited Auschwitz Birkenau. He knew about the deployment of Zyklon B as the lethal gas used in the gas chambers.

I beg to differ with Derrida if his claim is the war started because of Kuwait’s sovereignty being broken. It needed the prop of the US to ensure its sovereignty. So it is not sovereign. No Middle East country is because it is a production of the French British and US imperial dominance. Two, the war started why: the US Secretary of State told Sadam we do not interfere in battles between Arab states. Do as you want. Saddam’s mistake from the US’ side was that he decided to nationalize oil.

Just please, keep on doing these videos I really do enjoy your simplicity and sense of humor between the lines

Thanku

the mirror stage is more like to be aware of you as a human being, you acknowledge that you are indeed a human, sentient being. that is it, no need for a 8 mins video

Interesting video, but really important to talk about the critique specifically around her comments on the jewish leadership and their involvement with the holocaust. Arendt doesn't give due attention to the fact that leaders were often pressured or threatened to participate the lack of acknowledgement here makes this argument seem really unbalanced to me. In many cases, they were killed and replaced with new leadership (multiple times) until they acted following nazi direction, and many became intermediaries because they believed they could mitigate the damage from the inside. Her analysis of him as truly banal is justifiably and heavily debated (he was a fervent anti-semite). Here, statements like 'Eichmann was horrified when talking about extermination and deportation are not facts. Considering he boasted about being the coordinator of the of the final solution both in germany and when he hid in Argentina after the war, historical reports suggest the opposite was true (read 'eichman before jerusalem' for more examples. BOE is an incredibly important and relevant topic, especially today but Eichmann in Jerusalem attracted alot of critique for a reason. it must be presented in line with it to contextualise it for what it is, rather than show it as what it is not (a certainty). I'm sure this was not intentional, however, the single sided presentation of Arendt's work made here seems to have the trappings of alluding to a long running and highly coordinate jewish conspiracy. This is worrying as this theme is a dominant trope of antisemetic rhetoric and propaganda

What do you mean like we've never seen? I have seen plenty of controlled demolitions. It is pretty clear that some people were ignorant of the fact that various agencies had information (this is a matter of public record) on the "attack" before it happened. 9/11 was just an excuse. I highly recommend you read Douglass Valentine's The CIA As Organized Crime. The invasion of Iraq, after 9/11 was budgeted for prior to 9/11. There's no bigger waste of time than people debating fallacies. Please explain to me what is the difference between The USA and the UN? If you still believe that Bin Laden was the brain behind 9/11, you are delusional.

its worth mentioning that the bechdel test was originally to see if allison bechdel, famous lesbian, could pretend that the characters were also lesbians. that is important history that im not too pleased is often forgotten or left out.

judith butler is awesome but i cant parse her writing at all

how is a platonic ideal different from the numinal world? is it like the same concept. ig it is since its not like, perfection but more mysterious and about existence or something

Economic investigator Frank G Melbourne Australia is following this content cheers Frank

The Israelis were not looking for Eichman. It was Simon Wiesenthal. The Israelis wanted to move on from the Holocaust.

Its not a rumor Foucault was going to wear a wig if you listen closely there are times when someone asks Foucault to put on the wig during the debate. if you listen closely there are times when someone asks Foucault to put on the wig during the debate.

I read Hannah Arendt's work a decade back and it opened my eyes. Thank you for the great video.

The things he described seemed so abstract that I had nothing left in my mind after reading the book. And it will be probably the same after this video. Thanks anyway.

Mr. Guignion, while I respect the stand you’re taking regarding Zionism, Antisemitism and the Jewish state, I don’t appreciate the implied way you’re connecting Zionism and Nazism together like in some twisted way those movements “evolved” from each other. As an Israeli scholar I’m completely aware of my own racist and Jewish-supremacist government. I’m in the streets every day fighting against it and against this horrible war. The suffering of all Palestinians must end, and Palestinian country must rise and flourish next to a Jewish state. Every sane Zionist around the planet knows it’s the only way for peace, although unfortunately, the people in power in my country today aren’t zionists, but are Jewish fundamentalists who believe in a holy war. With that being said, I cannot accept your general thesis, just like I can’t accept the puritist rhetoric Arendt used in her writing on the Eichmann trial. First of all, no - Eichmann was NOT a zionist. As an efficient nazi he considered using the British mandate of Palastine as a more effective way of “getting rid of the Jews”. There was another famous trial in Israel known as the Ketzner Trial, regarding a famous Jewish-Hungarian leader named Israel Ketzner, that was charged with negotiating with Eichmann in 1941 about sending Jews to Israel instead of the gas chambers. Many accused Ketzner for working with the nazis, but he stated that he wanted to save lives at any costs, even if it means to abandon other Jews so others groups could live. He was assassinated by a holocaust survivor after the trial, but he wasn’t the only Jewish-Zionist figure who tried to “reason with the devil” during the war. The point of all of that, is that making this horrible dialogue between Eichmann and some Zionist leaders as some kind of proof of condemnation of Zionism is simply a folly. Yes, the Eichmann’s trial was farce - he was kidnapped by the Mosad and sent to Israel for the sole purpose of demonstrating the political power the Jewish state has against those who wished to turn our people into soaps. Was it moral by the dry aspects of a proper western justice system? No. Was it necessary, and this point of time? I believe it was. In 75 years of independence, the justice system of Israel used capital punishment only once, against Eichmann, because beyond his personal crimes, he was the high-ranking nazi who studied and dissected the Jewish people in order to lead them into genoside. A real genoside, unlike the horror the Palestinians are experiencing now. This was an anomaly that never happened before or after, so you can disagree - but I believe it was necessity, just like Hiroshima, to demonstrate policial power. And in a personal note Mr. Guignion, yes, I despise this horrible war and fight daily for it to end and for a Palestinian state, but I feel this condemnation of Zionism entirely doesn’t help this cause. Was Arendt wrong factually in her review? No. But this so called “rational” take is too one-sided and simply unfair. I’m sorry, but your look on Zionism history is completely wrong. Zionism saved more Jewish lives then any movement in the 20th century (including my own grandparents - they ran into Israel not because they wanted to usurp and take control of resources, but because they didn’t want to die in the gas chambers). So now, in the present, you can rightfully judge us and condemn our government for its terrible crimes (like we do ourselves), but never presume to judge those who came out of hell on earth and understood that in this world, the violent, unjust, unfair world, you need to be strong in order to survive. And if that means to make a “farce” trail, or that philosophers like Arendt will condemn us as “not moral enough”, they had to live with it. They had to survive with your criticism then to die with your praises…

You know Eichmann was a zionist, right? You know that. Riight?

Really horrible. I have read so much about Arendt and saw documentaries on her but never knew the full content of this book. Could you also do maim the bodies? And more on Adorno?

how is seduction affected by the fact that there is no symbolic exchange anymore?

You made it a lot simpler to understand man thanks a lot

When someone talks about the maturity of their faculties they are referring to the maturity of the mind.

Do you know if i differs from Wilhelm Reich’s micro analysis of fascism?

Critical theory is never boring! Lol 🫂♥️ appreciate your labor and care for the material.

George Jackson and Joy James are also two leading scholars to also think more aptly about the Prison Industrial Complex. But, I really love your UA-cam channel and podcast. It’s helping me get through my 3rd year in my PhD program at UChicago.

No contest. Michel Foucault was an original and serious thinker. Judith Butler is nowhere near his weight division.

Dear Dr Heidegger. I think it best you stick to subjects and comments you are skilled and familiar with .The Israeli -Hammas conflict is way out of your depth understanding and knowledge,probably add judgement and bias for good measure .Mike

Basically.Foucalt... A) Can't dispute a human's internal sense of right and wrong independent of society B) Is essentially arguing for democracy to distribute political power (something we already have) C) Cynically focuses on the failures of existing institutions, rather than reform and real ways to increase democratization
