I read about the same amount every month, what I do is I read at least 2 hours every day (usually more) and also for about half-an-hour to an hour in bed before going to sleep every night. All of that time spent watching TV, playing video-games or looking at my phone I rather read a book.

Olly, I have a problem. I honestly love Philosophy. I've studied it all through school and I'm going to go on to study at degree level next year. However, I really struggle with reading books on Philosophy. Short articles and summaries, sure, easy, but when I try to read a whole book, my concentration massively suffers, regardless of how interested I am in it. I've started so many books but I have never got all the way through one. Do you have any advice? Thank you so much :)

justbecause120 reading is quite meaningful and successful for people who are visionary learning or wrote learners. For auditory learners, though, it is a struggle to sit and stare at words on a page. Check out podcasts, lectures, videos, etc. And just be okay with reading at a much slower pace than most! Who cares if others read more/faster than you, and comprehend more! Just keep reading just keep reading just keep reading!

What are the books you never finished? Finding an author you enjoy and find readable is lots of trial and error, which is ok. I tried reading Kant and found it really dense. I found Kierkegaard a lot more accessible. If you like fiction, you can try reading novels that have philosophical bent too (Brave New World, Out of the Silent Planet, The Picture of Dorian Gray).

You read a lot! I don't think I have trouble concentrating, but reading is very different from doing maths for example, because it requires your attention, but also leaves you a bit of free space in you mind. For that reason I some times get distracted by my own thoughts and very often by the book itself, if that makes sense.

Have you read After The Death of God by Vattimo and Caputo? It's quite interesting! Both Vattimo and Caputo have their background in hermeneutics and ontology arguing that the secularization of the west has "ressurected" god. Caputo also gets into a deconstructionist analasys of the whole "god is dead"-movement. Generally good book with some interesting points on the state of God, Christianity and Western-Democracy in the post-modern era. Check it out! :)

Today (well the rest of today, once I've got all the crap out the way) I'm going to be piecing together about 2 years of research on gender and gender variance in the brain... The main focus is going to be understanding the biology of laughter and sadness (with an awareness that under totalitarian regimes these emotions are apparently reduced in behaviour externally at least). It is by no means extensive, but I have read a lot of shit to get to where I am with it.

So, just to make sure I got this straight, Hannah Arendt lived in Germany and then the US and wrote a book on Totalitarianism in the early 1950s, at the height of Red Scare paranoia and when the US knew basically nothing about what was going on in the USSR? Being Jewish, having grown up in Germany just before the war, and given the extensive documentation of Nazi crimes available after the war, I can accept her authority on German totalitarianism, but the idea that she is going to have some kind of insight into Stalin's USSR seems... doubtful at best. Hell, until the Soviet archives were opened after the cold war, Americans *still* had next to no idea what had been going on there and the research showing how radically incorrect our assumptions were has only been coming out for the past decade or so. I don't know. Leaving aside the almost assuredly racist colonial parts of her book you mentioned, I just find it hard to believe that the information available in the US in the 1950s could yield any sort of accurate insight on the Soviet condition, what it entailed, and where it came from. Also, I dig the beard. It threw me off when I first saw it, but it grew on me by the time the video ended. You look good.

Based on your description of Sex at the Margins, it sounds like you might really enjoy Julietta Hua's book Trafficking Women's Human Rights, if you haven't read it. It's fantastic, and her development of the concept of "culpable cultures" is tremendously useful. (Arendt blew my mind when I was a first-year at university, but I haven't reread since--your assessment made me want to revisit and look for the "woolly" parts.)

Hey! I've been thinking lately about illegal streaming and illegal downloading and I've thought: well, if I don't download music on my phone or movies or ebooks I won't be able to listen to music nor watch movies nor read books because I'm actually poor (not third-world-poor, I mean, I've got food and also an Internet connection as you can see but I basically save up on anything because my income is very low-poor), but this just makes me a thief. And that goes against morality and laws. So, I was wondering if you knew about any philosophical thinking about this. Like, either I virtually steal stuff, or I'll be ignorant and unable to nurture myself with culture. More in general, what are interesting philosophical thoughts on breaking the law for something that is deemed as necessary? This is probably a dumb question too but I don't know, maybe it can kindle some interesting stuff. Cheers. I love your videos! And thank you for making your knowledge available for for free :) I hope one day I'll be able to pay you back and maybe buy many things rather than downloading them.

So that first book is one of those books that are gonna try to say that Islam isn't anti-woman, or what? I don't really care what examples of islam being tolerable for women they can bring up, I've heard enough directly from the Quran to know that it's misogynist. You can make excuses, sure, you can point to instances for where islamic countries have been nice to women in spite of such text, or maybe there are some parts of the text that are better than others, or at least better than some other other religions or cultures at the time, but I don't see how you could convince me that the central dogma of the religion doesn't have very anti-woman sentiments.

So what you are saying is that you have already made up your mind on the subject and nothing anyone says will make you change your mind?

prophetchannel What I'm saying is that I don't even see how it would matter if I have SOME misconceptions about the relation between islam and women, because what I already know is enough.

Yash Holy scripture demands dogmatism by its premise. If you don't accept the premise that it's divinely authored, then the whole thing crumbles. Of course there are people who don't follow the scriptures literally. That just means that whatever good their "moderate" stance regarding scripture is makes them good only in as far as they're NOT muslims. Of course they're not all crazy misogynist, but for those that aren't I don't think the Quran is what we should thank for that, if you get my point. As for the Bible being misogynistic, of course it is, christianity is also a misogynistic religion, it's just that not everyone practices those aspects of the religion, because they're double-thinking hypocrites too. Or it's just because they have "faith", I guess. Faith is after all the reason they believe the scripture to begin with, in other words, no real reason. So I guess that if you believe the scripture for no reason, you might as well ignore the scripture when it suits you for no reason, it just demonstrates that you're willing to put up with double-think, but it's not any more "wrong" than following the scripture already is.
