    Hey, thanks for making this. I would like to make you aware of the brilliant Edith Stein, who wrote her doctoral thesis under Husserl, and later was his assistant and close friend. Her thesis is called On the problem of empathy and tackles precisely the question of other peoples' existence and how it can be known. Stein and her work was well known and respected by everyone in that environment at the time, including Heidegger, so the statement that the existence of others is a difficult or even unresolved issue for phenomenology doesn't ring true.

    Wait, so if it's making a distinction between phenomenon (physical) and the noumena (psychological), is phenomenology just mind-body dualism? And wasn't it shown like 40 years ago by neuroscience that there's a mind-body continuum? As far as I know, you don't have a "pure intellect"; the same part of your brain lights up whether you're looking at an apple or picturing an apple in your head.

    I was exposed somewhat to phenomenology 45 years ago while in university. I thrilled to what I was hearing, but to be honest didn't truly grasp it then and even after seeing this wonderful video, I have trouble comprehending many of the terms used. Over the years I have become much more biased toward science as giving truth. For example – how would something like quantum mechanics ever have been learned from a phenomenological approach? Even by my asking this, I am shamefully showing that I don't understand any of this – I can feel that in my heart. Can you please recommend a way forward to begin truly learning what phenomenology is? Specific books to read perhaps? I ask this with the utmost sincerity. Thank you very much for bringing us this video.

    I just watched this after watching a video on Hamiltonians used in quantum physics, and I must say, philosophers really have lost their importance. When religion was still considered the dominant view of intellectuals and that was a starting point for extrapolating ideas, philosophy had its place. Now? It is just the realm of people who can't seem to cut it in the hard sciences. It rarely provides anything useful except to employ some professors. Anything of importance can be answered in the sciences, not in philosophy classes. I think Descartes added the only verifiable contribution to the field, and everything else has been speculation of no import. You can build any framework you want that is logically consistent within its own per-determined rules, but it won't have any bearing on reality. Reality is far stranger than the type of orderly explanation philosophers try to come up with. And it is much harder, because you must work within the constraints of reality. Philosophers are constrained by no such thing, so they just go off on tangent after tangent that are pointless. I can't think of a single philosopher that has contributed anything meaningful in the last 50 years, while I can think of hundreds and hundreds of scientists. In short, I have very little respect for the field of philosophy, and most people do too.

    I like it. But finally, this thing called phenomenology is just words about words.

    Another feeble attempt to insert the human into the role as the reason for reality. Same as religion. It did its worst when Einstein used it to posit Relativity. The fact is the Universe has no means to acknowledge our presence. OTOH If intelligence is a natural by-product of reality then it would be forgivable to wonder if intelligence is the universe trying to make sense of itself. Is H. sapiens up to the task? Not if we keep inventing lunatic explanations such as this.

    An excellent summary of a difficult topic. This vid would be really helpful for someone just starting to explore philosophy as it provides a clear and sound intellectual framework into which more detail can then be subsequently housed. This is the kind of vid that demonstrates what a valuable resource Youtube can actually be.
