What is Philosophy?: Crash Course Philosophy #1

In ancient Greece, where thoughts took flight,
Philosophy emerged, a beacon of light.
Hank guides us through its historical grace,
A Crash Course journey, an intellectual embrace.

Metaphysics, the first on our quest,
Exploring existence, what's real, what's best.
From atoms to essence, the essence of being,
A realm of questions, endlessly freeing.

Epistemology, the next on our ride,
How knowledge is gained, truth as our guide.
From skepticism's doubt to reason's ascent,
In the pursuit of wisdom, our minds are bent.

Value theory follows, morals at heart,
Ethics and aesthetics, where principles start.
What is the good, the beautiful, the just?
Philosophy ponders, in ideas we trust.

Logic, the tool for the thoughtful mind,
Reason's ally, conclusions to find.
Critical thinking, a skill to acquire,
In the vast landscape of thoughts, we aspire.

As the Crash Course unfolds, a lifelong decree,
To understand worldviews, to question, to see.
Philosophy's gift, not just for today,
But a guide for our minds, as we journey on our way.

this video is very informative

my future salon name: AESTHETICIANS

Can you please do an explanation on relationship between philosophy and science please

This course made me sick😢

Amazing experience and understanding of the topic❤

“God comments” were all turned off, so I need to put this here: I would love to see a video on the discussion of the origin of the God concept. If we are going to see a video on arguments about the existence of God, why no talk of the origin/history of the concept?

I am majoring in sociology but I am considering double majoring philosophy. Not sure where it will take me but I find humanity and philosophy fascinating

Gosh i love this channel 😫

Why there's not even a costume change in this? How am I supposed to learn philosophy like this?

Im confused already. Thats MY philosophy

This presentation is really nice. Thanks!

7 years old?!

Ahhh the most points college class

😇 Far Words 😇

what is philosophy? questioning is philosophy, happiness is philosophy, sadness, thoughts, everything is a philosophy.

This is awesome!!!!

This man is so cool. I’m sorry that I haven’t discovered this course before

Why you called 'Lyceum' as a rival of 'Academy' because both were different and Aristotle is known as the greatest Platonic in the world.

Very interesting and well-presented. Side note: Hank looks like Christopher Poole aka moot.

The good place really did us a service.

Im just here to learn

We love you Hank! Get well soon, DFTBA!!!

Bother I really request to u ... Plz use Subtitles . Because you speak very fluent and I can't understand earlier

its very interesting bc most the internet use their feelings for their logic but not their brain. Nevertheless good video!

Thanks for all these amazing videos, they have helped me so much

Me learning Philosophy and astronomy at the same time💀

I am interested on this one. I would love to continue my study about philosophy to gain more wisdom.

I study philosophy to study why I study philosophy..

Amazing content!!! Thank you!!!

watched this about 5 years ago, and now my shelf is covered in Kierkegaard and Sartre. Thanks❤

can I comment twice?

There is no such thing as an unanswerable question.

Oh man I'm so excited to dive into this course!

I biggest question…Are humans inherently evil 😔😔😔

Loved this course seven years ago, and I'm glad to be back.

THIS IS BEST INTRO EVER IN CRASHCOURSE!!! ITS SUCH AN EVERLASTING LIFE LESSON!!!

Why should i trust you with this information

i really appreciate your videos , but the background music is too loud , it's hard to focus on your words when the music is playing

You've gotta bully Brennan into doing an advanced course

He is the real Spencer Reid 😂

everyone else: philosophy is fascinating

me: started watching this series to be able to hold a conversation with a friend that speaks philosophy

tho watching this 1st episode actually made me genuinely interested xDD

Anyone else in college watching this trying to figure out what the heck is going on in your class?

You're excellent man 🥺❤️
I wish i could have more professors like you
