Philosophy, Logic And Reason

Stephen Fry: Philosophy is an odd thing. When we use the word in everyday speech you know you sometimes hear it hilariously. They say, Oh, its never good to be late. Thats my philosophy. You think thats a generous description of that rather dull precept to call it a philosophy, but its odd how philosophers generally speaking, at least the ones Ive read or the ones I you know value, dont have in that sense a philosophy. There is no particular Socratic or Nietzschean or Kantian way to live your life. They dont offer ethical codes and standards by which to live your life. They dont offer a philosophy to follow. They just simply raise an enormous number of questions mostly, so in the sense that you put the question is there a philosopher thats important to me. Well I me I loved really the sort of the Bertrand Russell grand sort of tour of philosophy, the history of philosophy from the pre Socratics as they're called, Zeno and so on through to Socrates and Plato and Aristotle. I never quite liked Aristotle. I think thats partly... Although he was obviously a genius and brilliant and he invented logic, so whats not to like. I think it was his influence on the medieval mind was probably rather pernicious <b>...</b>

Philosophy and the Matrix: Return to the Source [FULL DOCUMENTARY]
This is one of the two feature-length documentaries on the Ultimate Matrix Collection. It goes over many philosophical concepts that inspired, and are presented in, the trilogy. They spend the first half on the original film, and the rest of the time then goes over parts 2 and 3, with a couple of things on the Animatrix shorts. This consists of clips of aforementioned releases and interviews. This does a good job of informing the audience about the various thoughts, although it would obviously take far longer to go over all the symbolism in them, and one can ask the very appropriate question if something anywhere near that definite and final is even desired, by viewers or the Wachowskis alike. That does mean that this is limited, but it is likely enough to enlighten and provide food for thought. In line with the series, this may provoke debate, rather than give answers set in stone. Whether one cares for this or not may depend on the extent of their knowledge on the subject, the old ideas, as well as how much they've thought about the presence of such in these three silver screen efforts. Obviously, it also makes a difference if one particularly wants to think about the meanings one could possibly take out of them.

The Philosophy of Liberty
When you hear Ron Paul say that he stands for the Philosophy of Liberty, this is what he means. The philosophy of liberty is based on self-ownership. This simple but elegant and hard-hitting animation will explain exactly what that means. It's a great tool anyone can use to educate children and adults about our right to life, liberty, and the property we create - and our responsibility to think, speak and act.

CFI-NYC | The Science and Philosophy of Free Will
Are advances in the scientific understanding of the human mind shaping our conception of free will? If so, how? Are the cognitive sciences revealing that free will does not exist, or are they merely shedding light on the inner workings of agency? And do the answers to these questions have implications for moral responsibility? On Nov. 6, 2011, the Center for Inquiry-New York City explored these and related questions by presenting a panel discussion featuring: * Hakwan Lau, Columbia University. * Alfred Mele, Florida State University. * Jesse Prinz, City University of New York. * Adina Roskies, Dartmouth College. * Massimo Pigliucci, City University of New York. This event was held at the Auditorium on Broadway. It was the second in our "Science and Philosophy" series. The first event focused on consciousness. For more: www.centerforinquiry.net/nyc

Authors@Google: Kyle Johnson 'Inception and Philosophy'
The book explores the movie's key questions and themes, including how we can tell if we're dreaming or awake, how to make sense of a paradox, and whether or not inception is possible. It also gives new insights into the nature of free will, time, dreams, and the unconscious mind. In addition, it discusses different interpretations of the film, and whether or not philosophy can help shed light on which is the "right one,' and deepens your understanding of the movie's multi-layered plot and dream-infiltrating characters, including Dom Cobb, Arthur, Mal, Ariadne, Eames, Saito, and Yusuf. You can find the complete "And Philosophy" series at andphilosophy.com Kyle writes a blog for Psychology Today, called "Plato on Pop," with William Irwin.

Three Minute Philosophy: Aristotle (the new version!)
Five years ago I produced my first ever TMP video on Aristotle. It wasn't very accurate, but it was popular. Now that I've actually done a degree in the subject I'd like to offer this revised version which will prove to be accurate, but not very popular.

Death - The Philosopher
From the album "Individual Thought Patterns" (1993). Lyrics: Do you feel what I feel, see what I see, hear what I hear There is a line you must draw between your dream world and reality Do you live my life or share the breath I breathe Lies feed your judgement of others Behold how the blind lead each other The philosopher You know so much about nothing at all [Lead: Chuck] Ideas that fall under shadows of theories that stand tall Thoughts that grow narrow upon being verbally released Your mind is not your own, what sounds more mentally stimulating is how you make your choice So you preach about how I'm supposed to be, yet you don't you know your own sexuality Lies feed your judgement of others Behold how the blind lead each other The philosopher You know so much about nothing at all
Anthony Kenny on Medieval Philosophy: Section 1
Medieval Philosophy: Thomas Aquinas This program examines the ideas of the medieval philosophic theologians, particularly St. Thomas Aquinas. Oxford medieval philosopher Anthony Kenny discusses Aristotelian logic as the basis of Aquinas' thought, and disputes charges that medieval philosophy merely reinforced extant Christian views. Logical methods employed by Aquinas are discussed as precursors of the scientific methodology of later philosophers, such as Descartes.

You cannot change the past but you can make the future, and anyone who tells you different is a Fucking lethargic devil.

Bruce Lee's Philosophy
The knowledge Bruce had. One of his main passions among martial arts was Philosophy. Use his wisdom in your own life. There are still speculations of his cause of death. .. Its too hard to accept that a man of such fitness and strength could die so suddenly..makes you wonder.. He had so much unfinished potential. We should study his work and writings to gain a better understanding of ourselves and the world around. Lets fulfill our potential and carry on where Bruce left off. More quotes in "Bruce Lee's Philosophy continued" and Bruce Lee's Philosophy 3 Song is "Guess who's back by Scarface"
Beyond the Fringe on Oxford Philosophy
Alan Bennett and Jonathan Miller spoof "Oxford philosophy" in a sketch from the popular West End show they did with Peter Cook and Dudley Moore. Not exactly hilarious - even for philosophers - but a bit of history, and remarkable that it should make a popular comedy revue.
Philosophy
Do you enjoy discussing the pros and cons of broad issues affecting society? Do you relish puzzle-solving? Do you like subjects that emphasise rigorous thought? If so, philosophy might be the right subject for you. Philosophy considers extremely general and 'ultimate' problems, such as the nature of reality, the purpose of human existence, and the basis of knowledge. It also scrutinises the methods that are used to answer such questions. Cambridge is one of the best places to get a grounding in analytic philosophy and our course is one of the few in which it's possible to concentrate entirely on philosophy without taking any other subject (although you can diversify within the subject if you wish). To find out more about Philosophy at Cambridge, see www.study.cam.ac.uk Some of the students who appear in our course films are also featured in the 60 Second Impressions series, which can be found at www.cam.ac.uk - keep checking back as we'll be adding new films every couple of weeks!
