The Morality of Chance: Thomas Nagel on Moral Luck
How much are we morally responsible for things beyond our control? How much is within our control anyway? How are we to find reason and happiness in a world filled with chance at every twist and turn? Join us as we examine the pecularities in our moral judgements, and discuss their implications for our views of ourselves and others.

Is knowledge good? Is knowledge bad? In what ways can history help us live and become stronger people? And what is it with Nietzsche's mustache anyways ?(we don't ever answer that question about facial hair...but we answer many others in this video about Friedrich Nietzsche's book "On the Advantage and Disadvantage of History for Life") "Clear Waters", "Mesmerize" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com...

A test of Whiteboard Animation Artwork & narration by Grace H Production and editing by Ian H
Ma'am great animation,presentation, narration... we all have our boulders to tackle...how true...life meaninglessness to be converted into a meaningful existence...& not to forget...end should be with All is Well...!!!!
Are you sure you're not a Time Lord, brother? I can't believe you were able to explain all that in fewer than seven minutes! Thank you
Wasn’t he cursed? If he was cursed he didn’t have a choice right?
She is drawing next gen white board animation
Stunning ilustration!
where can i find the quote “we desire the happiness of the animal but not in their terms” so i can reference it
the same for 'powerful (healthy) human' - I cannot find that from a Nietzsche text - what edition was you using for 'The Advantage and Disadvantage of History for Life'?
you are so good at teaching . I loved your teaching methods ❤

Good stuff.
Did we ever get a part 2?
job security. permanence of power at the cost of there being no record of any of it. sisyphus came close to solving the troubles of ozymandias. what if instead of the rock itself becoming inexplicably heavier near the top of the hill, sisyphus subconsciously was sabotaging his own progress because he likes his job and dislikes the unknown?

Flatulence
I'm a simple-minded guy, with an IQ that's average at best, who has taken an interest in the concept of absurdism (after a depression during the lockdown). Though there is one thing I just can't understand about this logic and I was wondering of somebody could explain it to me like I'm a kid: why is living without a divine purpose seen as "pushing a rock / accepting the torment", but living with a divine purpose not? Even if god was real and there was a big plan, there would still be tons of suffering. That's something you can't escape, no matter what you're living for. I'd make the argue you are pushing a rock no less with a purpose than you are without it. It's what the experience of pushing the rock means to you, not the context in which it happens.
This was really helpful
To put it simply. The journey is the destination. Lao tze and enjoy the ride. Eddie would say. I tried reading this book and was hard to u understand and so many absurd words. This Western philosophy is interesting. It is very different than the east. Both asking what we are here for. And oh.. your vid is amazing. And the ending is teary.
“Most men lead lives of quiet desperation,” I am Sisyphus
I half agree with your argument, and respect the abstract approach of existentialism.
Where is the part two? I need omy
About 6 years too late, but amazing work! I'm sorry this channel doesn't have hundreds of videos like this. I'm sure whatever you're doing now, it's equally amazing!
Suicide is more appealing
I was reading some mythology and Sisyphus did a bit more sinning than not fearing the Gods. Sisyphus was a bad dude. But I like to pretend that the way you've described him is the real way, because it makes him far more likable.
The argument doesn’t stand. If the world is deterministic then your interpretation of your fate is also not in your control. You will experience it according to your predisposition, Which was predetermined. You can’t choose to be a happy or miserable Sisyphus. You will be the Sisyphus you were born as. On the other hand if you believe you have free will stop pushing that dumb rock up the hill and go to the beach : )
damn, hella talent!! Thanks so much, using this to review before class
I've just read the English translation of this essay and it made me dizzy. I can't even understand the first chapter. Thank you for the video.
Thank you for making this!
I like this
Isn't it interesting how this video can be about the life being absolutely meaningless and at the same time be so inspiring?
Thank you so much! Really helped me with this week's reading for university :)
so good! such a shame it has so few likes </3
Such a great video. I still can't fit the whole idea of the beauty of absurdism in my head, but I'm trying.
It's easy to say I want to create my own faith, doing it is another Imagine if actions were as easy as saying it. . .
It feels good to find a diamond, wish they made more diamonds vids like this
Background music is refreshing :)
Thanks for this video. I'm trying to read this book, but I haven't studied philosophy as a formal discipline and it's difficult for me to understand.
You have done a great job in distilling the meaning of the essay. The animation is well done too. Bravo.
Why not nihilistic rebellion. At least it is more fun.
What is "nihilistic rebellion"? Nihilism is ultimately about the apparent hopeless situation we humans are in against an uncaring universe that continuously bathes us with life destroying cosmic rays that only the thin (and diminishing) atmosphere of this wet rock we call home protect us from. And our ultimate reward for enduring this cosmic indifference is death and therefore "negates meaning" which is the essence of nihilism. So again the question: What is "nihilistic rebellion"? Rebellion for rebellion sake with no meaning other than the self gratification of having to let out anger so as to sooth one's ego regardless of the destruction caused to the lives of others. So in conclusion "nihilistic rebellion" is simply a contradiction that covers up the fact about some wankers way of getting self gratification and therefore "meaning" through egoist exhibition. Fun for the wanker, not for everyone else.
Wow!!!
Thanks for the super-excellent video.
Wow wow wow... thank you so much
I love the voice narration.
I like this book a lot. Have thought about it often over the past few decades. We can create our meaning, but only to a degree. The main flaw I see in existentialism, certainly Satre’s, is the belief that the mind is a blank slate. It’s clear this is not the case. There is a human nature forged by evolution. At best, free will only extends to the boundaries of that nature. At worst, we are operating on instincts so deeply embedded in us that we view them coming out as our choice. Like love. In any case, reconciling existentialism with this evolutionary psychology approach to the mind is, to me, an interesting avenue. But is the “choice” Sisyphus makes to turn around really heroic? Maybe it’s just instinct, something that in this case we call hope (emotion=instinct.) After all, these thoughts are not really new, as the age of the myth clearly demonstrates. Something is being reflected from a very deep level.
thank you
Every time I watch this video I become emotional and teary...
u saved my essay
I love this video, but had a hard time paying attention with the music. Is there a version without it for those of us with ADD?
Your work is very impressive!
Always amazes me how "existentialism" gets dismissed as "teenage angst philosophy" ... It's almost as though people don't want to acknowledge that life really is absurd, and this is all there is.
Yeah as a History nerd I think the one big absurd thing that sticks out the most is Billy Joels we didn't start the fire in that people have this attitude towards the Young as if we're where the world started to go Crazy but juvenoia(aka fear of the young a portmanteau of juvenile + paranoia.) has been with us since the days of Socrates and after all he was executed for allegedly corrupting the youth. The Baby boomers were feared and hated by their elders in the greatest generations as us millennials are feared and loathed by the baby boomers and to be blunt us millenials are NOT TRYING TO start Fires we're trying to FIGHT the fires but unfortunately they've been with us for as long as humans have kept records.. The World has always been MAD as in NOT SENSIBLE , the opposite. And We didn't just fuck it up - it was fucked long before we came along.
When as a boomer teenage angst was revolution for the hell of it.
I would like to just point out that Camus was particularly an absurdist. A large part of The Myth of Sisyphus is a critique of existentialism, particularly religious and Sartrean existentialism. Jean-Paul Sartre saw absurdity (or "nausea") as a fundamental property of our existence whilst Camus instead held that it is an essential facet of our relationship with the world. Christian existentialism on the other hand is harmful to Camus as it requires a leap of faith. In the essay, Albert points out that existentialists betray themselves by appealing to the transcendent, fashioning meaning to be something of a god in its own right.
You can't "acknowledge" life is absurd for the simple fact that it's a subjective conclusion. That's like 'acknowledging' pizza isn't always amazing. What existentialists don't seem to understand is that most people genuinely don't give a crap about the fact this is all there is. They realize the importance of the things that are and give it their full attention, instead of ruminating about what isn't.
@@Fonzzz002 you should be a professor.
great work!!
How do you do a summary of The Myth of Sisyphus and never even mention suicide? The drawling were good, but common...
