That was very enjoyable. I have a special fondness for British Idealism, in particular McTaggart, but not only McTaggart. Some of their writing is lyrical in a kind of unplanned way that I think emerges from their experience of the transcendent. It is frustrating to me that their views and approach were never actually refuted, or even engaged with. They were simply brushed aside in a dismissive way that I find frustrating. I don't know if British philosophy (I'm in the U.S. and I might include American philosophy in this in a less direct manner) can reconnect with this Idealist tradition. There do seem to be some philosophers who have a regard for them; but usually they cut out something like McTaggart's analysis of time and then give it an analytic treatment instead of allowing space for the intuition that gave rise to his analysis of time. // In any case, thanks for mentioning the British Idealists and introducing us to your location while residing in England.
Wonderful video. I definitely agree with you about the deep relationship between the British “spirit” and British Idealism (e.g., Bradley, McTaggart, Bosanquet, Collingwood, etc.)
