Crash Course Philosophy is brought to you by Squarespace.
2
Share your passion with the world.
3
I'm Hank Green, and you and I are about to embark on a journey.
4
A journey of inquiry into the whole world.
5
Your world.
6
In an effort to figure out what gives it meaning, what makes it beautiful, where its evils come from, and ultimately, what is the very nature of reality itself.
7
Along the way, we're going to question every aspect of your own personal life.
8
Why do you do what you do?
9
Why do you think what you think?
10
Why do you feel what you feel?
11
Now, if you've joined me on Crash Course before, you might say, we've already learned all that stuff.
12
Like in psychology, in biology, in anatomy and physiology.
13
And it's true, science can definitely help us understand our thoughts and feelings and actions.
14
But on this particular journey, we're going to be exploring aspects of the human condition that can't be explained only by hormones or neurotransmitters,
15
by personal experiences or hereditary conditions.
16
Because all of those chemicals and experiences that make us who we are can actually raise as many questions as they answer.
17
Like, if all of my decisions really are just the result of how I was raised
18
and what chemicals I have flowing through my brain, then are any of my choices actually free?
19
And if I'm not truly free to make my own decisions or choose my own actions, then how can I be held accountable for them?
20
Yeah, it's gonna be that kind of journey.
21
Rather than just looking at the world and describing what we see, we'll be evaluating it.
22
We will take nothing as given, set our assumptions aside, or at least try really hard to, and do our best to see the world as if we've never seen it before.
23
And for what it's worth, we'll also be talking about Batman and what Dick Grayson can teach us about the concept of identity.
24
And we'll learn how The Matrix can help us understand the life and writing of Rene Descartes.
25
Also, we'll try to answer unanswerable questions and puzzle over paradoxes that have plagued geniuses for thousands of years.
26
It's gonna be hard and enlightening and frustrating, and if I do my job properly, it'll stick with you long after you and I have parted ways,
27
because we are going to do philosophy.
28
These days people use the word philosophy to describe some opinion they might have, or an approach they have to a certain topic.
29
Like you might have a philosophy when it comes to golf, though I personally do not.
30
But we are going to use this word more narrowly to describe a way of approaching the world
31
that traces its roots back to ancient Greece, 500 years before the Common Era.
32
This was a time of great intellectual movement around the world.
33
Buddhism and Jainism were developing in Asia at the same time philosophical thought was emerging in Greece.
34
There, scholars were tangled up in a distinction they were just beginning to make between philos and mythos, or what we'd now roughly call science and storytelling.
35
At that time, there were bards like Homer, who were trying to understand and explain the world through stories, while the earliest philosophers were using methods that were more analytical and scientific,
36
although they didn't really have the concept of science back then.
37
So, philosophia, literally the love of wisdom, was a new way of trying to make sense of the world.
38
When the earliest philosophers used the word philosophy, they basically meant the academic study of anything.
39
Which, like, I guess could include golf.
40
But at what we might call the first universities in the Western world, Plato's Academy and its rival Aristotle's Lyceum, math, biology, physics, poetry, political science,
41
and astronomy were all considered to be philosophy.
42
Eventually, scholars began thinking of these fields differently, as separate disciplines.
43
Studies that had strong empirical elements came to be considered science, a search for answers.
44
But philosophy came to be understood more as a way of thinking about questions.
45
Big questions.
46
And today, 2500 years after the ancient Greeks first brought them up, philosophers still love asking questions, oftentimes the same questions, and they don't mind that they never get an answer.
47
So, what are these big questions that have managed to intrigue and stump philosophers for so long?
48
One of the first might best be phrased as, what is the world like?
49
Sounds simple enough to answer, right?
50
Like, just look around and see all the stuff.
51
Well, this is what the world is like.
52
But the philosophical approach isn't just based on observation and it has other, much more complex questions packed inside it.
53
When a philosopher wonders what the world is like, she might really be asking, what's the nature of reality?
54
Like, is the world just made up of matter and energy, or is there something else going on?
55
And if it is just matter and energy, then where did it all come from?
56
Is there a god?
57
And if so, then what is he or she or it like?
58
And for that matter, when you're asking about the world, can you also be asking about the nature of yourself as a citizen of the world?
59
So, what kind of being am I?
60
Do I have a soul?
61
Is there something immaterial about me that will survive after I die?
62
All of these questions are ways of exploring what philosophers call metaphysics, one of the three main branches of philosophy, an effort to understand the fundamental nature of the world,
63
of the universe, and of being.
64
Now, if those questions aren't heady enough for you, we, as students of philosophy,
65
also have a whole separate set of questions that are about how we know the answers to any of this stuff.
66
This particular strain of philosophy, which is like, knowing about knowing, is epistemology.
67
Literally, the study of knowledge, the second major field of philosophy.
68
And it poses questions like, is the world really what I think it is?
69
Like, really, is everything I see and think and experience, is it actually true?
70
If it isn't, then what is true?
71
And what's the best way to go about figuring out the truth?
72
Is science the best way, or are there more ethereal paths to truth?
73
Paths that science can never really travel.
74
And let's say that after a lot of searching and question asking, I begin to develop some ideas, like an inkling about what might be true.
75
Then, how do I know if I'm right?
76
How will I ever know I'm wrong?
77
Can I ever be certain about anything?
78
Now at this point, I wouldn't blame you if you're thinking, Am I real?
79
Do I.. do I know anything?
80
Well, as questions go, these might not seem super practical.
81
But there's another area of philosophy that helps frame your thinking around what you actually do, like how you should act and what you should attach meaning to.
82
It's called value theory, and it's usually divided into two main branches.
83
The first is ethics.
84
You've heard of it.
85
It's the thing that politicians are always said to lack, and Jedi are supposed to have in great supply.
86
Though, don't get me started on the prequels.
87
In philosophy, though, ethics isn't just a code of what's right and what's wrong.
88
It's the study of how humans should live with each other.
89
Rather than just sitting around and judging people, ethics involves posing questions like, how should I live?
90
Is there any reason that I should treat, say, strangers differently than the people I love?
91
And for that matter, do I owe anything to myself?
92
What about animals or the earth?
93
And if I do have any of these obligations at all, where do they come from? Who says?
94
Ultimately, whatever system you use to decide what's good or evil, as human behavior goes, is determined by your values.
95
That's why ethics is considered part of value theory.
96
But the other part of value theory isn't about what's right.
97
It's about what's beautiful.
98
Aesthetics is the study of beauty and art.
99
Now the concept of beauty is talked about practically everywhere, from the media to art school to barber college.
100
But for philosophers, the pursuit of aesthetics involves considering what beauty is, and whether it even exists.
101
Aesthetics is a part of value theory, because beauty and art are things we value and evaluate.
102
And many people who study this particular kind of philosophy, known as estheticians, believe there is such a thing as the beautiful.
103
Something that doesn't just depend on what you happen to find attractive, but something that's just objectively true.
104
And finally, there's one more aspect of philosophy that I should mention, because it doesn't ask questions so much as help us find answers.
105
Yes, finally, some answers!
106
And that thing, which I happen to think can be beautiful in its own way, is logic.
107
Logic is the philosopher's toolbox.
108
It contains the saws and hammers, the microscopes and beakers that philosophers use to go about answering their questions in a clear, systematic way.
109
Logic is about reasoning, giving strong arguments that don't fall victim to fallacies, which are, as you will learn, the mortal enemies of philosophical precision.
110
Okay, so metaphysics, epistemology, value theory, they might all seem pretty airy and abstract.
111
But don't worry, because you have already done philosophy, even though you might not realize it.
112
You do it in almost every aspect of your life.
113
Every time you argue with your parents, or wonder if you should date someone, or decide to eat a salad instead of a ham and cheese hot pocket, you are doing philosophy.
114
Because you're thinking about the world and your place in it.
115
You're figuring out what you value, why you value it, and what you should do about it.
116
So here's our plan.
117
We're gonna learn about the major fields of philosophy, posing questions and considering possible answers along the way, and each time we will use a two-step method.
118
First, we'll really try to understand.
119
You're not gonna agree with all the ideas that I present to you, and I won't agree with them either.
120
That's not the point.
121
The point, in step one, is to really try to get inside of an idea, to understand it as charitably as possible.
122
Then in step two, you'll subject your understanding to some serious critical evaluation.
123
Basically, you'll try to knock down what you think you know about a particular view of the world.
124
And you'll do this whether you agree with the view or not.
125
Why?
126
Because only when you challenge your understanding of how some people view the world can you decide for yourself
127
if theirs is a view worth having.
128
Which leads me to my final point.
129
Philosophy is not your usual field of study.
130
I'm not going to be teaching you a body of knowledge where success means you know a bunch of stuff.
131
Success in this course will mean that you know how to think.
132
All we have are questions, and all you have is a brain.
133
And the goal of philosophy is for you to use your brain to come up with the answers
134
that make the most sense to you.
135
You'll learn how to formulate arguments to support your ideas, so you can explain why you think you're right.
136
Which, if you've ever been on the internet, you know is something that not a lot of people are good at.
137
In order to do that, you're going to need to understand philosophical reasoning, the tools we use to investigate life's most perplexing questions.
138
And that is where we're going to be headed the next time we meet.
139
For now, you've learned about the historical origins of philosophy in ancient Greece, and its three main divisions, metaphysics, epistemology, and value theory.
140
We also talked about logic, and how you're going to use it to understand and critically evaluate a whole host of different worldviews.
141
But not about golf.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
