Early Philosophical Thought (East Asia and India) 

OMG OMG OMG This!! Please do more of these philosophy videos!! 😍

Professor Dave every time I see and listen to your videos, I get and feel smarter, keep up good job of educating the masses.

Very cool. I can't wait to see more in this vein of study!

Thanks Dave, muchly appreciated for this video great work! Cant wait to watch the entire series.😉

This is going to be good. Looking forward to the rest of these tutorials.

Indian philosophy is way bigger and contains almost all the thoughts of other regions in its different thoughts of school and it is underrated.

Fantastic. Looking forward to more. Thanks and be well.

I'm really interested to know your plan for this series, as philosophy is such a broad topic. I hope you eventually cover philosophy of science, either in this series or another, as it might be helpful to reference in some of your debates or debunks.

Awesome topic! Cant wait to watch them all

Thank you for these excursions into the fascinating, informative and maddening world of philosophy, Prof Dave.

Love from India 🇮🇳❤️

Awesome! Love your work!

Dao De Jing is one of the coolest and shortest thought pieces to reflect on and it has almost no supernatural concepts, absolutely recommended for anyone interest in (philosophical) Daoism. I read it about once a year

Never cease to amaze Dave :)

Great video! 👍

Good one Dave

This is great Prof Dave. I'd suggest that you take a detour and return to India in the 5th century ce to discus Shankara, and the Philosophies of Advaita (which many claim came to characterize the philosophy of the rest of Vedantic philosophy, and which is vary much like/connected to Theravada), and its "Kantian like" philosophy on the self (perceptual eye) and the other (Brahman/Universe/spinosa's-god). Im surprised you didn't linger on the Upanishads, and the Sutras were Hindu and Buddhist atheism/panantheism became central focuses, but it was really in Shankaras era that Advaita thoroughly rejected supernaturalism, and formalized their character as non-theistic consciousness-centered "religions/philosophies". Similarly, I was surprised you didn't linger on Confucianism, particularly to explore the influence of Legalism, a completely and explicitly atheistic philosophy that promoted aughts based on social structure, and the view of Confucianism first poised between legalism and folk taoism (centered on a looser set of sage-wisdoms). Looking forward to the series. Thanks alot Prof. Dave:)

loved this video on philosophy! i would love to see a westener's perspective on indian philosophy and ancient indian texts. A great indian content creator "project shivoham" actually creates videos analysing ancient indian texts (provides sources in the desciptions of his videos). would recommend!

Im down for looking into Western Philosophy, but please do more on Eastern Philosophy, its so easy to find good resources (or at least resources at all) on Western Philosophy, but almost impossible to find good ones on Eastern Philosophy. (Here in the West) PLEASE!

Professor Dave doing philosophy! My dream has come true!

Great stuff

I request you to explain the INDIAN PHILOSOPHIES after completing the Greek Philosophies... It has 9 prominent philosophies and the oldest of any other...

do a video on the role of psychedelic/psychotropic substances in philosophy and civilizational development

The knowledge this one dude has is equal to a university 💀

So knowledgeable ❤

Thanks 👍

Yayyy a new video 🎉🎉🎉😄

Any one here watching this video once read the Upanishads. Spontaneously he will realize the divine knowledge of great Indian sages😊

Woah awesome

Highly recommend the book "Sophie's World" for a whole bunch of philosophy concepts and history wrapped in a novel rather than a dry textbook. :)

Yes please do more of these! Especially the eastern stuff 👍

He knows a lot about science stuff professor Dave explain s

More more more❤❤❤

Nice video

As a Zoroastrian, I thank you for mentioning the great Zarathustra! I would go even further, and say that Zoroastrianism is what created the modern world, and could have even created something even better! (Communism) But it is also Worth noting that Zarathustra actually existed over 1,000 years before the time you said.

Why is Plato pictured with the Sophists??

Nice

Damn.....now I will get more incredible materials for my 3 a.m discourse, which I do with myself 🤣

Thank you for using the correct map of India

It is understandable if it is a topic that is not exactly easy to research, but we will appreaciate a lot if you could also add a video about how exactly eastern philosophy shapped the cultures of indo-asia.

The rest of the videos past #2 are hidden? How do I see the rest?

1:25 You've got another picture of Plato as the centre sophist.

I'm confused, I thought Zarathustra had lived in the 15-10 century??

Buddha was a philosopher

Please make a video for parallel World

daves actual content is so much better than flat earth stuff lol

👏👍

I advise you to watch Othman ibn Farouk's videos

Where is political science course man....

Namo budhhay 😇

When does Professor Dave say his opinion about the religions he mentioned?

Dead languages? Can't we just break them like codes or use AI?

🇱🇰

Indians kicked out Buddha's enlightenment and replaced it with casteist hinduism. Good that it spread to other parts of the world

man these papers old

6:57 Any other degenerates have their train of thought derailed here?

"science progresses and philosophy doesn’t" Lawrence Krauss

Philosophy : Questions that can never be answered. Religion : Answers that must never be questioned. Science : Answering the questions.

Buddhism morality >>>>> the Bible morality, both are interesting tho.

Topics such as Vedanta and Buddhism can't be reduced to philosophy - they are mystical and esoteric empiricism. With that said, trying to understand them in their entirety in their original purpose by merely treating them as philosophies is like studying all there is about chocolate, but never actually tasting it. Yes, true, these schools all have very complex philosophical framework, but its purpose is to be used as a secondary tool within the main practice of the actual contemplation and knowledge. Philosophy is paroksha, indirect knowledge, whereas esoteric teachings cultivate aparoksha knowledge - direct, actual knowledge that is not interfered or compromised by the mind. Though... I honestly understand very well this natural tendency to treat them as philosophies, since I myself had at one point in my life thought they were philosophies. That all changed very abruptly after the first nirvikalpa samadhi. It literally changes everything, when you first time in your life are faced with the naked reality of your very true nature being sat-chit-ananda at the same time directly knowing it is also the nature of the entire existence in general. At that deep contemplative state you understand and experience the sum total of everything in a condensed form. Philosophy is a subtitute for the real knowledge, albeit, sometimes very useful.

0:25 rejecting philosophical thoughts because of some cultural or religious influence is foolish and a fallacy If you have a problem with a philosophical idea you address its synopsis or conclusions, dismissing a certain philosophy just because of where it came from is a textbook example of a genetic fallacy Anyways, please don't think I am saying you guys did that, I was just addressing a certain type of person mentioned in the video, you did a great job with the video Dave =)

Was this thumbnail made with AI

🕉️ oldest religion in universe ⚔️🔥⚔️

Thought this was a science channel. Moving on...

Lol calling Buddhism more of a religion then a philosophy is absolutely Silly. . . Silly silly

Brother vedas mentioned in manusmriti , ramayana , mahabharat also Mahabharat historical evidence also found so vedas first So called budh ,jain pseudo science ideology

Egypt is the origin of all this...MAAT civilized man 1st

The earth is flat wake up ❤

you should also mention about the history of philosophy in Ancient Arab ,Africa,medieval Islamic golden age and Ottoman philosophy in your next video please. You didn't mentioned them here .

Hinduism came before Buddhism and it's much older than any other religious or philosophical knowledge in the world. It seems U didn't research properly.
