Why dosent Dr. Sadler get discussed on here? Even when his content is better than Petersons.

>> No.9918330

Peterson only gets 'discussed' by crossposting /pol/tards who only watch his youtube videos and treat him as some sort of self-help guru. Sadler records lectures on philosophical texts that require you actually to read them, that's not quite as appealing to the aforementioned crowd.

Sadler doesn't present himself as an original thinker like Peterson does so there aren't any ideas of his to discuss and also he doesn't have the same political scandal to talk about

T b h tho Based Greg is a really interesting character. With the whole being a swole gang kid who wanted to be a mercenary then joining the army and somehow ending up being a big chill stoic philosophy lecturer. Even more primo surrogate dad material than Peterson imo.

Would like to have had my first beer, aged 13, out on a camping trip with him while he tells me about when he was my age and I pretend to enjoy the beer so as not to disappoint him, and there's a moments silence before I nervously tell him I don't want to go to mass anymore because I've been reading his Nietzsche and Camus and I'm embracing the absurd, and he just smiles and gives me big pat on the back, saying "alright, bud, I don't want to be a real jerk and force you to do something you don't believe in", all the while knowing that one day I'll come around and return to religion, but with a couple years of philosophical reading so I can fully appreciate it. And I'd get up and stumble a bit, and he'd laugh and say, "alright kid, I think that beer's gone to your head. How about we call it a night, it's getting dark now anyway" and I'd climb in the tent contented that dad understands me and respects my philosophical development even if it clashes with his own, and I'd fall asleep immediately with him staying up a little longer reading Epictetus by his phone light before turning it off and drifting off to sleep, with the forest silent and serene outside the tents.

His Dissertation is titled: Catholicism, Modernism, and Modernity: The Concrete Logic, the Philosophy of Insufficiency, and the Option in Maurice Blondel's "la Pensee" and "L'etre Et les Etres"

>> No.9919051

email the guy and ask.

meanwhile

Maurice Blondel's later works address the problem of the relationship between the Catholic Church and tradition and modernity. This dissertation situates Blondel's developed position between the analyses of modern philosophy and culture developed in the encyclicals Pascendi Dominicus Gregis and Fides et Ratio. Modernism in Catholic circles bears implications for philosophy in general, since modernism has its source in modern philosophy and the culture it gives rise to and reinforces. Three key concepts operating in Blondel's later works are the concrete logic, the philosophy of insufficiency, and the option between egoism and charity. The concrete logic is a logic of the moral life, a logic in which opposition is fundamentally on the basis of hexis and steresis instead of the apophasis and kataphasis , equivalent to the inclusion and exclusion of abstract logic. Use of a logic in philosophy is unavoidable, and inadequate philosophical positions are the result of reliance on abstract logic where a concrete logic is both required and secretly relied upon. The philosophy of insufficiency works within the concrete logic. It has a critical function of assessing and uncovering the insufficiency of the claims made by other philosophical systems, and it has a reconstructive function of leading the human subject towards what could allow it to be rendered sufficient, a supernatural order. This supernatural order imposes a requirement for the human subject to make an option either for egoism of for charity. Modernism represents one modality of the option for egoism, and the option for charity can lead not only to the supernatural order but also to recognition of the continued importance of the Catholic tradition in supporting and keeping intelligible the option for charity

Yeah well would like to have had my first 3 beers, aged 13, out on a camping trip with him while he tells me about when he was my age. He would say he used to go camping with his friends at that age, and how they shared their first sexual experiences. I would be embarrassed but he would ensure me it doesn't make you gay, lots of guys do it when there are no girls about. I pretend to enjoy the beer so as not to disappoint him, but he keeps making me drink more and more and after I finish my half of the six-pack there's a moments silence before I nervously tell him I don't want to go to drink anymore because I feel sick, and he just smiles and gives me big pat on the back, saying "alright, bud, I know something even more fun that we do instead". I'd realise this whole time he's had his hand on my leg, rubbing my thigh in concentric circles, at first I was too drunk to notice. My head would be spinning and the beer and the smoke from the fire is making me feel sick. And I'd get up and stumble a bit trying to get away from him, and he'd laugh and say, "alright kid, where do you think you're going? We're miles out in the middle of the woods the only chance you have of finding your way home is with me. How about we call it a night, it's getting dark now anyway" and he'd grab my coat at back of my neck march me and into the tent, and I'd pretend to fall asleep immediately with the hopes he would leave me alone, but he holds me down with his 300 pound body and violates me.

thoughts? I thought it was well-made but the hate it gathered by peterson fanboys seems excessive. At no point in the video there is a personal attack on peterson or even a direct rebuttal of his points. Most of the video is centered on clearing up confusion about what postmodern philosophers actually said, yet the dislike bar is around 50% of the total votes. The backlash is uncalled for, I think. I doubt most of them even finished the video anyway.

He mentioned it in some video somewhere so this might not be entirely accurate, but he's like a shrink but with a phil degree instead of a psych degree. like say someone comes to him with a problem, he'll hear them out and then put their problem in the context of, say, stoic philosophy or something so they can better understand what to do or how to view something about themselves.

I mean sure you can literally just read Seneca or whatever but if someone wants to pay for the service from someone who genuinely knows his stuff it seems alright. It's not like he's pushing off this shit on people in his lectures like JBP does with his fucking book and "self authoring program."

thanks. I've recently up till now, I thought philosophy was a bunch of old white guys and wannabe scientists formatting questions into arguments and running it through some logical or argumentative machinery and document results. seems like there's still plenty of room for that life affirming, personal motto, zen kind of shit people look for in philosophy

Both are a mischaracterization, stoicism is practical minded but there is a solid structure of reasoning to it. You don't build a philosophy from personal mottos unless you're nietzsche. but to guage your interest you could check out sadler's lectures on stoicism and see if that does bite you somehow.
