ann: Open Philosophy Channel

[dr.mt...@gmail.com]

I've opened a new channel on Youtube, Open Philosophy, which will

examine philosophy in a new and, I hope, rather fresh way.   The first 

video, exploring the history and nature of philosophy is here.  Feedback 

welcome.  If you enjoy it, do say and share, and do subscribe to receive 

news on later videos.

Watched the first episode and thought it was quite interesting, much of which I hadn't thought about before in this way -- that is, the march of knowledge and gradual differentiation from philosophy as a whole.

Yes; except they never really parted at a fundamental level.

If you look at the history of a lot of eminent philosophers

they were often exceedingly capable in areas other than philosophy

- for example Russell and Quine in mathematics - and they 

gravitated to the foundations of these disciplines.   Carnap

studied physics.   The hallmark is that they did not take for

granted the foundations of the disciplines they studied.

This is very much what I wanted to convey.  That philosophy

is by its nature, questioning, and potentially revolutionary.

This is often masked by academic philosophy which is  

conducted by people climbing the tenure ladder.
