1. Hey all. We got messages that this video was having issues being viewed. We're working on fixing it but it's a bit of a mystery. Thanks for your patience.

2. I love this channel. Thank you.

3. This guy is a living example of an Oxymoron.
   On one hand he talks about how Aristotle was an empericist and in the same video does not want him as our philosopher leader 10:12. Because "my emotions".

   Then he goes on to talk about 10:40. Something that is based on emperical data.
   I wonder if he is intelectually chellanged or has an agenda.
   Or maybe his audience wants him to be that way.

4. "Alexander Maybe Not So Great" I ooof-

5. I trust sacred geometry

6. This is the stupidest video I have ever saw.

7. They were not natural philosophers.

8. idiotic video concept!

9. there is no gravity

10. Hit like for Green brothers 👍

11. Why a topic on history does not even mention a single estimated date of an event! Irony!

12. Alexand was great…your just a dork with a bunch of debt helping those who were dumbed down who also have a bunch of debt.

13. The Arabic cc is 🤢

14. "Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed; Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed
    A lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he's pissed"
    ~Monty Python

15. Aristotillian here…..for the most part.

16. ALEXANDER THE GREAT

17. I love how John says Aristotle was a 100 % wrong a 100% of the time and refers to him as his old nemesis in his literature course on Oedipus , while hank tho recognising his faults does sorta love him.

18. these men were on one long trip

19. Sounds logical

20. to invade Persia and kill barberians?!!!

21. Aristotelian 100%

22. Enjoyed video.

23. Most important thing to remember is that the great 3 had good philosophical methodology, but were wrong about almost everything.

24. Greeks were way ahead of the times. Unfortunately, they were conquered by the Turks for 400 years.

25. Hey I've been watching those African History videos weren't Aristotle and Plato black? Or was it just Socrates? Curiously confused.
    See Gregory Love's comment below, eleven down.

26. Aristotle wore 3 layers of clothes to look bigger. Only cared for materialistic reality. Plato cared more for answers to things that could not be seen heard or felt. Those answers would also transcend into physical reality. Socrates was a hardcore badass.

27. No metaphysics, ethics or poetics? I'm a little disappointed that the video spent so much time discussing the least interesting and (through the lens of contemporary philosophy) least relevant ideas of Aristotle. I guess they wouldn't fit the "empiricist" story so well though.

28. Aristotle knows nothing,
    he talks only about Plato's ideas,
    In practical ways.
    Now he is father of science such a shame to all modern thinkers.

29. If Plato was able to visit modern world, and learned that Tensor Calculus builds Relativity which explains how planets and stars behave, and that Schroedinger’s equation explains matter behavior, he would have shouted A-HA!!!

30. Why so fast?

31. رقم 6 بالتوفيق

32. I trust math but not my math

33. Plato for me, Aristotle for the hedonists.

34. I have fallen in love with philosophy after these videos! Amazing, thank you from all my heart!

35. I am disappointed that the video glossed over the greatest differences between Plato and Aristotle: How many realities are there and how do we know? Plato = two realities, the higher one known by introspection and revelation. Aristotle = one reality, known by our senses and our logic (which he virtually invented). The consequences of Platonism in history have been dire, including the Dark Ages and the mass bloodshed of the 20 century. The consequences of Aristotelianism included the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution, and the founding of the United States. (This summary is compressed to an extreme, but the supporting facts are all around us.)

36. One thing is for certain: The ancient Greek philosophers had way too much time on their hands…

37. Is it just me, or do the subtitles not match what Hank is saying around the 10-min mark?

    – someone who needs subtitles with everything to understand and process

38. I'm sure this was pointed out already but Aristotle actually fled Athens after Alexander's death, wryly remarking 'lest Athens sin against philosophy twice'. He was to be brought up on trumped-up impiety charges do to his association with Athen's Macedonian overlords, who they never really considered true Greeks. He followed Alexander in death a year later.

39. please add Indonesian subtitles for all videos

40. this video should be titled "the socratics"

41. have to slow this niggas video cuz he speak so fast

42. I question my exsisitance

43. I learned that Aristotle’s “writings” come from his students’ notes, not directly from him.

44. I'm asking again who's here from English 10.

45. Who’s here burning time in quarantine? 😂

46. 4:16 "Ruled over an area more than anybody until the mongol empire"

    I'm sorry but WHAT!?

    Abbasid Caliphate, Umayyad Caliphate, Rashidon Caliphate, esteren han, western han, Tang dynasty.

47. I've been watching your channel for years. The fact that ya'll are dropping DnD references makes me love you all sooo much more.

48. We should all take the advice of Aristotle: "Invade Persia, kill barbarians, and become brutal warlords."
