  • Utilitarianism. Principles, Criticisms, and Contemporary Perspectives.

    Utilitarianism. Principles, Criticisms, and Contemporary Perspectives.
    May 16 2024
    This episode will be exploring Utilitarianism’s Principles, Criticisms, and Contemporary Perspectives.

    Utilitarianism is a moral theory that suggests the rightness or wrongness of an action is determined by its consequences, specifically by the amount of happiness or pleasure it produces. This theory traces its origins to the works of Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill, who developed and popularized utilitarian thought in the 19th century.

    Jeremy Bentham, in his book "An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation," laid out the basic principles of utilitarianism. He argued that the goal of ethics should be to maximize happiness or pleasure and minimize suffering or pain for the greatest number of people. This concept of "the greatest happiness principle" forms the foundation of utilitarianism.

  • Metaphysics for Dummies.

    Metaphysics for Dummies.
    May 15 2024
    This episode is a summary of all the facinating ideas behind Metaphysics.

    Metaphysics is a branch of philosophy that deals with the fundamental nature of reality, including the relationship between mind and matter, substance and attribute, possibility and actuality. It explores questions about the nature of existence, the ultimate nature of reality, and the underlying principles that govern the universe.

    The term "metaphysics" comes from the Greek words "meta," which means "beyond," and "physics," which refers to the study of the natural world. Thus, metaphysics is often understood as the study of reality that goes beyond what is physical or observable. Learn not only what metaphysics is, but also the definition of metaphysics in all things life.

  • How to adopt a Stoic mindset.

    How to adopt a Stoic mindset.
    May 14 2024
    In the bustling streets of ancient Athens, a philosophy emerged that would come to influence some of the greatest minds in history. Stoicism, founded by Zeno of Citium in the early 3rd century BC, is not just a set of ideas but a way of life, a practical philosophy aimed at building a deep sense of inner peace and strength. This episode will teach you how to adopt a stoic mindset and be free from mental suffering by changing your mindset.

    Stoicism takes its name from the Stoa Poikile, or “painted porch,” where Zeno and his followers would meet to discuss their ideas. The Stoics believed that the path to a good life lies in aligning oneself with the natural order of the universe, which they referred to as the Logos. This Logos, they believed, governs the world with wisdom and reason, and humans can attain eudaimonia, or flourishing, by living in harmony with it.

  • Nihilism and Human Existence. Does the world exist at all

    Nihilism and Human Existence. Does the world exist at all
    May 12 2024
    Nihilism; "The rejection of all religious and moral principles, in the belief that life is meaningless... Extreme skepticism maintaining that nothing in the world has a real existence."

    Nihilism is one of the most interesting and controversial philosophical concepts to ever reach the minds of the average human. It is proof of the lack of human intellect and it begs the question of humans being able to comprehend the universe, this is true even if nihilism is an incorrect way of thinking according to the forces that govern the universe and consciousness.
