Philosophy Overdose

Karl Popper and Induction duke it out. Who will win? This is something I put together a while back and originally uploaded on the previous channel. I think it succinctly illustrates some of the underlying problems with Popper's philosophy of science and why it doesn't seem to work. Many people also seem to misunderstand Popper's view on this point, perhaps based on a misunderstanding of inductive logic or the problem of induction itself. To be fair, Popper himself often seems to downplay such aspects of his view. But Popper isn't just a fallibilist who stresses falsifiability in science, he's an anti-inductivist who wants to get rid of induction from science altogether. In any case, the audio comes from a course on the philosophy of science given by Jeffrey Kasser a while back. The clips come from various interviews and documentaries on Popper. I will list them all at a later date.

This short clip comes from the beginning of a 2014 documentary on Emmanuel Levinas by Yoram Ron called "Le Dieu absent - Emmanuel Lévinas et l'humanisme de l'autre" ("Absent God - Emmanuel Levinas and the Humanism of the Other"). I thought it was interesting, so I translated it into English and added subtitles. The full documentary (with English subtitles) can be found on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbGaXEqxSvU

The complete interview of Hans-Georg Gadamer discussing the obscure pre-Socratic thinker, Heraclitus. This is a version of an upload from the previous channel, but this time it includes the entire thing, as well as improved audio and video. As always, the translation is my own. I apologize for any errors, I know it isn't always as good as it could be.
