Here we will travel back to the year 1150 of the common era in order that we may illuminate one who is perhaps the most influential figure of Islamic philosophy. He was known to his people as Abu al-Walid Muhammad ibn Rushd and to the western philosophic tradition as simply Averroes. Sources: To the generous men and women who published these resources, especially Stanford’s article concerning Averroes, I cannot say thank you enough.

My apologies for the faulty frame size of the video, though I hope you are able to enjoy it regardless. I hope to bring some advice from "Seneca's Letters From a Stoic" regarding adversity and what might be done to overcome it. Much, but not all,...

What would a largely deterministic society look and behave like? Would it be, as some imagine, a more merciful and just society, or as some others suppose, a veritable wasteland where lawless immorality, cruelty, and hopelessness reign supreme? In this video I hope to answer this contentious question and to bring some clarity to an otherwise esoteric matter. Music: Adrift Among Infinite Stars - Scott Buckley Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/letstalkphilosophy/ Sources: For this particular work I have taken much from the philosopher Spinoza, the psychologist Robert Sapolsky, and the Neuroscientist/philosopher Sam Harris. I have found their insights to be extremely helpful in clarifying my own thoughts on the matter and I encourage you to read or listen to their thoughts on Determinism and free-will.

What did a great and wise man such as Spinoza think of human suffering? There are many complexities in the philosophy of Spinoza which can make understanding this question difficult at times, and I am sure after this video more reading will be necessary to clarify it further. We must remember that Spinoza is not a philosopher who can simply be read, he must be studied. Below are the sources I have used to aid in my creation of this video, if you found it interesting then I recommend you read through this commentary, thank you for joining me once again in uncovering (in my opinion) the greatest of modern philosophers!

!letstalkphilosophy_channel@tilvids.comWelcome to Let's Talk Philosophy. My name is Brett and my focus in the videos I create will be the illumination and exaltation of yesterday's and today's greatest philosophical minds. My goal is to not only convey their thoughts, ideas, and philosophies, but to also give these ideas practical meaning so that you may use them to better your own lives. If you're interested in learning about philosophy and applying philosophic principles to your life, check out a few of my videos. Even if philosophy has never really caught your gaze, you may find after little investigation how seductive and enveloping dialectic conversation can be.
