Translating Ordinary Statements Into Categorical Propositions
Excellent introductory teaching.
The fool is a she i notice !
Now I know why there are moods that are weak... they are conditionally valid on the the Aristotelian point of view. Not something discussed in my Logic class. Thanks.
An excellent video, as usual.
Love your lectures! I am planning to watch all of them. Your voice make me want to stick with your video.
Thank you so much!
thanks
😂😂😂😂 bro just destroyed the system so simply
Thank you
Logic is fun
Nice video! I do have an issue with your definition of "what is god". Applying omni-traits as a requirement of divinity disregards religious practices where those traits dont apply. Not all theists apply these traits to divine beings. I would recommend checking out Stephen Dillon's book The Case for Polytheism.
great clarity and nicely compacted
Thank you
Thanks
Yeah 😂😂😂😂
Ok
Thanks
Life saver fr🎉
Excellent video. Social media could learn a lot but won't.
Here are some things Jesus Christ said of Himself. “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” John 14:6 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16 "Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son." John 3:18 Jesus asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. Matthew 16:13-17 Skeptics said for centuries, "The bible we have now has been corrupted through the years.". In 1947 the Dead Sea Scrolls were found and proved otherwise. They said, "There's no way Israel can become a nation again as God promised in preparation for the end times.". Israel became a nation again in 1948. All this being said, it does require faith to believe. Hebrews 11:6 tells us, "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." Also John 20:27-29 states, "Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.” Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!” Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” Don't be deceived, Jesus is the Son of God and the only way of being saved from God's judgement for our sin. Christ consciousness won't save you. Believing Jesus was an ascended master, a prophet or a good teacher won't save you. Romans 10:9 tells us how to be saved, "if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved". Trust in Him, He shed his blood and gave His perfect life for you. Call on Him, He loves you, and He hears you.
AMEN☦
I feel lucky to have found this podcast.

gorgeous!
I hate logic 🤯
Please upload video on IP and CP proofs.
This is the best video I've come across in the introduction to philosophy ❤❤❤, thank you so much for this video, it has helped me a lot 😊
Comprehensive as always 👏
Very good
😵
passing logic cause of these vids
Same. Praying for you fam
@@hunterbenson1506 🤝
well, this was pretty boring.
No it wasn’t. It was informative and clear.
I hold a degree in philosophy and found it lacking in many ways.@@Ash-oh6nh

Ugh, smarmy emo philosophers are pure cringe. How is this considered intellectual rigor using “yeah what about” arguments as deflection. I can’t believe this is was completely embraced . No wonder the West went down the path towards you can justify anything cuz everything is just made up construct with zero order to it when nature is screaming the opposite.
I have exams today and watching this on the way
Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope your exams went well, but nothing is better than giving yourself plenty of time to study! ;-)
This is the most useful philosphy channel I had stumbled upon
Thanks for the kind comments, and thanks for watching!
Hello Barry, the Auto-Generated subtitles for this video are in Vietnamese and not correct. Is it possible to check if the language of the video can be set /defined on your side? Thank you!
Thanks for letting me know. I didn't set any subtitles when I uploaded the videos, so I'm not sure what's going on, but I will look into it. Thanks!
Good thankful
I'm a history student so I know about the ins-and-outs of all the eras. I have to write a paper on intellectual history, but watching this I feel like I'm cheating. 😹 thank you for this concise information! Now I can organise my base historical and philosophical knowledge way more fruitful
🥹👹👹🤩
24:30 would this be writen as a ↔b ↔ c? And if so would a ↔c also be true? or would it be written a → c?
Sure, I don't see why not. This video is designed to give the most basic introduction to these ideas, so they could undoubtedly be better! Thanks for commenting!
Amazing..thank you
What a wonderful explanation ! Let us apply this to today's Enations

Philosophy is what you have when you don't know the truth.
One of my student's a long time ago defined 'philosophy' as what people do to make money when they don't want to work. :-)
The Book “the Kalam Cosmological Argument” by William Lane Craig offers several philosophical arguments that show there cannot be an actually infinite regress. It’s worth checking out
There are lots of really good, more complex arguments, the Kalam Cosmological being one. I'm not trying to give anything approximating final answers in these videos, just trying to introduce the most basic concepts. Thanks for commenting!
The materialistic bias presented is not consistent with metaphysics. Trueness is independent of the material world. The first error made, is that a theory of knowledge is presented. Knowledge is not a theory. That is what distinguishes it from opinion. Knowledge is a pre exisiting Energy. This is a D minus.
Hi @joshuafritz! Thanks for commenting. Sorry you didn't like the video, but perhaps you are a bit more advanced for this very basic introduction to epistemological terminology. I would, in the spirit of philosophical conversation, suggest that you may be conflating ontological claims with epistemological ones. Of course they ARE related since knowledge is OF something, so whatever that something is will be determinative of knowledge. Or put another way, the truth just IS whatever IS the case. It may turn out that that is material in nature, perhaps mental, perhaps a combination of both (those are ontological questions). So to claim that "trueness is independent of the material world" is to beg the question about the nature of being, and that's a different philosophical conversation.
@ALittleBitofPhilosophy of course we are discussing the ontology of knowledge. What is it? That is the question. I've already explained its an energy. So, the Person contains that energy. Again, its not a theory. Energetically, that is incorrect to say its a conversation. It is a pre existing energy. Data is not knowledge. Most universities make this error. Perhaps you are conflating knowledge with data.
I wish I watch this video first.
