Commonplace books have been a key tool for philosophers and thinkers of all kinds going all the way back to Greek philosophers like Aristotle. In this video I cover a brief sketch of the history of commonplace books and then I show you how you can keep a pocket notebook as a commonplace book of pocket proverbs and wise sayings. Become wise like the greatest philosophers instead of doom scrolling! I also read a selection of my favorites entries from my golden book of wisdom so make sure you watch until the end!

Why would I ever watch a youtube channel on philosophy and documenting things that I find in my day today life? Thats not me...or at least it wasn't to this point. Not only have you given me perspective into the benefits of this practice, but you've also made it so non-threatening and very "common man". Thank you for putting together a channel that is not pretentious or full of ego. I truly feel like you are just trying to share ways to make people better. I can't stop watching now. God bless.

As for me, every time I encounter the justification of evil in the world (including my own by myself), I remember the phrase by Russian playwright Evgeny Schwartz, *_'We all studied at the school of evil, but who forced you to be the first student?'._* This phrase means that we are all to some extent familiar with the concept of evil and its manifestations, but nobody forced us to be the first students in this 'school of evil.' It serves as a reminder that each individual has the autonomy to determine how they will utilize their knowledge and experience. Ultimately, it is only the individual who bears the personal responsibility for their choices. By the way, you are an incredibly inspiring individual, Parker. You have ignited in me the idea of creating commonplace books for each branch of knowledge (formal, natural, social sciences, and philosophy). May I inquire about your note-taking process? Do your notes possess their own independent ontological essence and are stored separately, or are they merely temporary drafts awaiting their turn to be included in the commonplace book?

You might look into Charlotte Mason. She is known most by homeschool moms, but her entire philosophy of education hinges on three notebooks that a student keeps over the years, a commonplace, a nature journal, and what’s called a book of centuries. The book called The Living Page by Laurie bestvater is all about these journals and how they work together for both students and adults. Might be interesting to you ♥️

I love this idea. I have a Google document with quotes and I also scribble them down randomly in various notebooks and notes apps, but collecting them all in one notebook is a great idea, especially as handwriting things out is supposed to help it stick. This is something I need to try. Love that you find wisdom wherever and whenever - not being pretentious about who said it, if it helpful, is wise in itself! Also, not having neat notebooks, but really getting use out of them is really giving me permission to stop worrying about perfection and aesthetics. Thanks!

@CaptainWumbo 9 месяцев назад

I hope you as a philosopher will take this criticism in a light spirit: a lot of the time when we quote things, especially out of context, what we are really doing is trying to prove by reference to authority our own beliefs and to make them seem nobler and truer without really testing them. Sometimes in actual contradiction with the authority we quote. When I was a kid I used to keep a txt file of all the funny things I'd heard, just as a pick me up. I liked Monty Python and Douglas Adams so they showed up a lot there. As an adult I have found I do not like transcribing things at all, but I will still write about something interesting I learned earlier in the day mostly as a means of improving my memory of that thing by free recall and transformation. I could and usually do just do that in my mind, but I will sometimes falsely fall for this trap of hoarding references I inevitably don't ever refer to. For me I think keeping a book of my own poetry is more enjoyable, because that I do find myself coming back to and being surprised at the memories it conjures. Somehow for me that doesn't quite feel like transcribing or hoarding, because it takes quite a bit of mental effort and time to compose, so it's worth recording even if it's just for me.

«Не давши слово, крепись, а давши - держись» "If you have not given your word, be strong, but if you have given it, hold fast." Its meaning is that if a person has made a promise to someone, he should keep it, and if a person knows that he cannot fulfill the promise, it is better not to make it. This is important because Responsibility is the most important thing in life for a man.

And be relentless in your own self discovery & explorations, try new things. Interesting and informative.

Most of the material is Counselling and Life coaching reference material for work or for workshops. I have an Ipad, but I use it to Archive my material if I need to. (Normally later on)

I’m really liking this. I’m really considering making me a pocket notebook “book of proverbs”. By the way, since you also carry a catch it all pocket notebook. Do you make your one calendar layout or use the bullet journal monthly layout perhaps in your pocketbook? Or in respect to a calendar do you keep that one via digital (phone)? I ask because Leuchtturm is like my top favorite pocket notebook because it has plenty of pages and just the way it sounds when opening that is delicious (lol) and I like to include pretty much everything within one notebook then move things to other dedicated notebooks once I’ve filled it out. I guess I’m just curious if you create your own calendar layouts or stick to using the phone for that. Currently I’m using two field notes with a onestar leather cover and one notebook is for monthly view layout and second notebook for my do it/catch it all. Very frequently I’m undecided if to continue doing this way though. Thank you and happy new year 👍🏻

I've always been fascinated by how literary detectives such as Poirot or Holmes kept their information sorted. Ms. Lemon's organizational system, for example, where all of Poirot's cases were identified and catalogued for future use. When you consider the academic usefulness of a person of interest's private papers, it's a pity to think about what insight we're going to lose as people who embraced the digital age (especially those in walled gardens such as Apple) start dying.

Could you tell about your note-taking systeme, sir, is it intergrated with commonplace books you have?

@ParkerNotes 9 месяцев назад

I usually start with marginal notes in books or articles. I also take notes from lectures. I use the marginal notes as flags to come back later and add passages, notes, and thoughts to my commonplace books

So I guess i stumbled into this my self. I have a book full of quotes. I call it my “Quote Journal”. I put all my favorite quotes and sayings in it. From movies to books. I my self am full of quotes (helps my express ideas) so my journal is full of them. It is in a bigger moleskin which now seeing this I wish I started it off smaller. But I keep it still. Need to put more quotes in it.
