5886 Human Nature: Justice versus Power - Noam Chomsky debates with Michel Foucault - Debate Analysis 1:02:32

3 days ago1:02:32

1:02:32

This lecture examines the influential debate between philosophers Noam Chomsky and Michel Foucault, focusing on themes of human nature, justice, and power. It begins with Chomsky's argument for an innate biological basis for language acquisition, exploring how humans develop complex linguistic abilities despite limited input. In contrast, Foucault challenges the very concept of human nature, questioning its definitional clarity and arguing that it serves more as a reflection of evolving knowledge than a concrete scientific truth. The discussion oscillates between their contrasting views, dissecting the relationship between language, knowledge, and cognition while critiquing the disconnect between philosophical inquiry and its relevance to society. Ultimately, the lecture calls for clearer definitions in philosophical discussions and emphasizes the responsibility of intellectuals to address the practical needs of the public they serve.

"Disclaimer: I'm not at all suicidal, and if any discourse herein convinces you suicide's a good option for you, you probably went wrong somewhere. "Community challenge! "Sorry if this reads like a paralysis question; it's relevant to how I might live out the faith to which I'm in the process of converting: Would suicide violate UPB so long as anyone in creation loved or depended upon the person committing it? I should think that would definitely constitute forcing a win/lose situation. What if we're given that, and also, literally no other party would be immediately affected? The suicide would, I guess, "only" be depriving the world of some potential utility they could provide. There are people like this today (from a secular perspective). Is it just then kind of a lame and ugly thing to do (i.e, not aesthetically preferable) and far from being really wrong?" "How can a smart writer write dumb characters? Can a professional gifted painter paint something similar to what a 5-year-old would paint or similar to an inexperienced adult's painting? Can Freddy sing badly? Can Gilmour play guitar like he never held one in his hands before?" "Funding your enemies: "I pay for a YouTube Premium subscription. The main benefit is no ads, which saves time. And YT also has the widest range of video content on a range of subjects.
