This is a video intended for college students considering taking a class in philosophy, but who are not sure exactly what philosophy is. This is also a video for parents or other relatives or friends of college students who have decided to major in philosophy, but who are not sure exactly what philosophy is.
In this lecture, I argue that philosophy is the attempt to rigorously answer questions that cannot be answered either (a) by observation or experimentation or (b) by calculation from stipulated definitions and axioms.

Mathematician here. I would argue that a society is no more real than a triangle is. Of course, it depends a lot on your definition (as it depends for the triangle). If you define a society simply as a group of individuals, then may be it is "more real" (more tangible, more physically present) than a triangle. But I do think that the shared culture of those individuals, their share rights and responsibilities, their shared knowledge, and their institutions are integral parts of a society, without which a society is not a society. Those are as abstract and intangible as a triangle.

I agree to a point. I agree that philosophical questions can be outside the realm of mathematics and empirical science, however the questions of mathematics and science are themselves a part of philosophy.
In other words science and mathematics and religion are a subfield of philosophy but philosophy is not a subfield of any of these things.

Love this channel. I have always liked philosophy, particularly the mind experiments so common in philosophy.

I wish I had taken philosophy seriously when I was at school. Not because of the career prospects but because of the enormous personal benefits. Absolutely loving these videos.

One of the BEST videos on the subject. Please also make a video on the "Scientific Method" and whats similar and whats different among Religion, Philosophy and Science at the most fundamental level.

I've recently stumbled upon your channel. As a retired engineer I tended to dismiss Philosophy as idle naval gazing. However as I've gotten older have come to appreciate its value. For me this has been driven largely by what the hard sciences have learned over my lifetime and being in awe that brains evolved to prevent being eaten by lions have been able to figure out so much. The models our brains have evolved to create do not do a very good job of describing the underlying reality.
I loved the stoner reference, I did have a lot of those back in the 1970s.
