“thinking is difficult, that’s why people judge” Carl Jung

Dr. James Orr’s course: The Philosophy of History, is available now.

In this course, @jtworr traces the philosophy of history from its ancient Greek origins to today’s debates over meaning, progress, and identity. Starting with the contrasting methods of Herodotus and Thucydides, we follow the evolution of historical thinking through medieval theology, Enlightenment secularism, and modern theories of change.

Key figures such as Augustine, Hegel, and Marx reveal competing visions of history as divinely guided, rationally unfolding, or shaped by material forces. The course also explores 20th-century responses from Spengler and Heidegger, before turning to the collapse of grand narratives and today’s “history wars,” where the struggle to interpret the past remains deeply tied to how we understand ourselves.

You may not share the views of Dries, or even not like him. But don’t ignore this: he is sentenced to prison for expressing scientific evidences, as disturbing as they may be. If we let it happen, we are accomplices. This is the way totalitarian regimes emerge.

Een samenleving die zo bang is van foute uitspraken dat ze je veroordeelt om wat je zegt, ik vind het een angstwekkende gedachte.
Kan goed klinken zolang het een overheid is die aan dezelfde kant staat als jij. Maar dat kan snel keren, zoals we in de wereld zien.

Dr. James Orr’s eight-hour course: The Philosophy of Science, is available now.

In this course, @jtworr traces the development of science from ancient Greece through the Scientific Revolution to today. He examines how theological, institutional, and philosophical forces shaped science, while tackling key issues like the demarcation problem of science versus pseudoscience, Hume’s problem of induction, Kuhn’s theory of paradigm shifts, and the realism debate.

The course also engages fascinating unresolved questions raised by cosmology, neuroscience, and quantum mechanics, ultimately arguing that scientific progress does not eliminate philosophical inquiry but rather deepens it, revealing new mysteries that demand philosophical analysis.

@East10Outpost Yes. I like this question.

We always start from our own experience, not realizing that orders have another “interface”.
