Determinism, Fatalism, and Thomas Hobbes

Continuing to update my lectures from last semester. This is a fun one on the differences between Determinism, Fatalism, and how these arguments influenced Thomas Hobbes' view of "human nature".

Enjoy!

Clearly, then, absent the consideration of the unverifiable character of the basic assumptions due to culture, history, and just plain semantic recalcitrance, transcendentalist doctrine is directly and explicitly antithetical to the 3 elements that fundamentally define "human nature" according to the points of materialist doctrine you included towards the end of this class.

Crap, philosophy always makes my head hurt, I'd rather just engage in bhajan.

Good class, by the way, you stay very engaged in the subject.
The occasional stumbles and pauses (the inadvertent ones) are going to get progressively worse as you age, and try your patience more and more as a teacher...

lol. I memorize my lectures, so the "stumbles" are me rethinking what I was going to say more so than forgetting per se. But thanks for that ;)

I'm surprised no-one else has commented on this class, especially with some flame-wars about your observations of who was and wasn't a "Christian"...

I just uploaded the Kierkegaard lecture, he really pushes the question of what it means to be Christian by way of challenging what it means to have "faith"!
