From our new book, CHAPTER 5: Anaxagoras – The Cosmic Mind
https://dphilo.org/loyev-books/


Anaxagoras (around 500 BC, ancient Greece) believed that the world is ruled by NOUS, or the Cosmic Mind. As he says:
“All other things contain a portion of everything, while Nous is infinite and self-ruling, and is mixed with nothing, but is alone by itself. … Because Nous is the thinnest of all things and the purest, and it has all knowledge about everything, and has the greatest power. Nous has power over all things that have life, both greater and smaller.”

FROM THE SECTION “CONTEMPLATING”
If, as Anaxagoras tells us, NOUS controls the universe, then how does it effect me and my individual mind? And how should I relate to it?

Inspired by Martin Buber (1878-1965) - Guilt Feelings 16/12/2023

NEW DP VIDEO: Martin Buber (1878-1965) – “Guilt and Guilt Feelings”
https://youtu.be/wrbtMPZOTck
In this video-interview, Ran Lahav interviews Linda La Pena, a member of the Deep Philosophy Group, about what inspired her in the essay “Guilt and Guilt Feelings” by philosopher Martin Buber (1878-1965).


We all know what it means to feel guilty about something bad we did in the past, perhaps even years ago. Importantly, what was done was done, and we cannot erase our actions from the past. Buber discusses the meaning of such guilt feelings and what they tell us about human life.
Martin Buber (1878-1965) was a Jewish Austrian-born Israeli philosopher, writer, and activist. He is best known for his dialogical philosophy, which understands human beings in terms of their relations with each other.

From our new book, CHAPTER 4: Empedocles – Love versus Strife
https://dphilo.org/loyev-books/

Empedocles (5th century BC, ancient Greece):

“Twofold is the birth of things, twofold is their death… Sometimes the elements unite through LOVE and become One, while at other times they separate again through the hate of STRIFE.”
FROM THE SECTION “CONTEMPLATING”
Empedocles’ view on the forces of Love and of Strife was intended as a general theory of the world, but we can ask ourselves how it applies to our own personal lives. To what extent can we understand our lives as characterized by those two forces??

Inspired by Zuurdeeg (1906-1963) - The Human Cry 25/11/2023

NEW DP VIDEO: Inspired by Zuurdeeg (1906-1963): “The Human Cry”
https://youtu.be/RJnXD0rHyRY
In this video-interview with Ran Lahav, Alejandro Rodríguez, from the Deep Philosophy Group, explains what inspires him in the idea of "The Human Cry" by philosopher Willem Zuurdeeg.
Willem Zuurdeeg (1906-1963) was a Dutch philosopher and pastor, who wrote about life, philosophy, and religion. In his book "Man before Chaos" he argues that philosophy emerges not from cold analysis, but from a deep concern, or cry.
Alejandro Rodriguez is a Mexican member and facilitator of the Deep Philosophy Group.

CHAPTER 3: Parmenides: Being is One
https://dphilo.org/loyev-books/

Parmenides (5th-4th century BC, ancient Greece)

“What is, is. … Being is complete, immovable, and without end..”
FROM THE SECTION “CONTEMPLATING”
The awareness of the is-ness of everything is a special state of mind that seems marvelous, but it is short-lived. If I happen to experience it, then sooner or later it is bound to dissolve, leaving me again in my ordinary affairs and states of mind. Should I be disappointed that I lost so quickly the sense of Being? Indeed, is the awareness of Being something valuable? Should I seek it?

CHAPTER 2 From our new book: HERACLITUS: All is in flux
https://dphilo.org/loyev-books/

HERACLITUS (around 500 BC, ancient Greece)

“The way upward and downward are one and the same.”
“Into the same river you could not step twice, because other waters keep flowing.”

FROM THE SECTION “CONTEMPLATING”
Consider Heraclitus’ view that everything keeps changing. This applies to my everyday life too, to my moods, my body, my friends and colleagues, my house – they all change from day to day and from moment to moment. If I was fully aware of the cosmic flux, how would I live my life? Indeed, what is wisdom in a world that offers nothing stable, no ground to stand on, no fixed facts to grasp?

Inspired by Iris Murdoch (1917-1999) - Attention 11/11/2023

NEW VIDEO: Inspired by Iris Murdoch (1909-1943): “Attention” as a “fair and loving gaze”
https://youtu.be/a_nH3qeJcV0
In this new video-interview with Ran Lahav, Karin Fechner explains how philosopher Iris Murdoch inspires her with the concept of ATTENTION. Attention, for Murdoch, is "a fair and loving gaze". Through Attention we gain a deeper understanding of other persons, and this enables us to make ethical decisions in a deeper way.

Iris Murdoch (1917-1999) was an Irish-British philosopher and novelist. She was born in Dublin, studied philosophy at Cambridge, and became a philosophy professor at Oxford. She gained fame for her many novels.

Karin Fechner is a German / Italian DP member and facilitator.

Video: Nietzsche on self-creation
https://youtu.be/S3SuRnicvTQ
Here is another video which I originally made in 2014, now with English subtitles on our Deep Philosophy YouTube channel. It explains the 3 stages of Self-Creation according to Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900), one of the most influential thinkers in modern times: The Camel, the Lion, and the Child.

For Nietzsche, most people tend to live a shallow, trivial and empty life, motivated by weakness, fear, and herd mentality. He therefore envisions a process of self-creation, in which the individual overcomes her own small self and creates a new, noble self that is full of life and creative passion.

Inspired by Simone Weil (1909-1943) - Love 29/10/2023

NEW VIDEO: Inspired by Simone Weil (1909-1943) – on “Love”

In this new video-interview with Ran Lahav, Juan José Grande describes what inspires him in Simone Weil’s conception of “Love.” The interview is based on the chapter “Love” from Weil’s influential book “Gravity and Grace” (1940-2).

Simone Weil (1909-1943) was a Jewish-born French spiritual philosopher and a political activist. Her writings are among the most influential philosophical-spiritual writings in the 20th century.

¡NUEVO BLOG DE FILOSOFÍA PROFUNDA!

https://dphilo.org/la-contemplacion-como-un-nuevo-ordenamiento-del-mundo/

En entradas anteriores hemos visto la visión de Filosofía Profunda: se trata de una actividad donde filosofamos en búsqueda del contacto con los aspectos fundamentales de la realidad humana, pero lo hacemos de una manera peculiar, liberados de fines utilitarios y pragmáticos, y esto es porque se trata de un ejercicio performativo. Así, en Filosofía Profunda hacemos filosofía ante todo, pero de un tipo muy especial: filosofía contemplativa. ¿Y qué es lo que hacemos en la contemplación filosófica?

A esta pregunta responde el siguiente texto, escrito por Ran Lahav que compartimos ahora en español. Aquí el autor desarrolla la idea de por qué a través de la contemplación filosófica entramos en un nuevo "ordenamiento del mundo", o, como dice con una bella metáfora, cómo es que nos descubrimos siendo olas dentro de un inmenso océano de significados filosóficos.

¡Que disfruten la lectura!

Dancing with philosopher Ortega y Gasset 21/10/2023

Dancing with great philosophers!
https://youtu.be/h5I2RRHbMz0
A philosophical dance by my friend Beatrice Magalotti, a professional dancer and my colleague in the Deep Philosophy group. Here she dances to the deep words of the influential Spanish philosopher José Ortega y Gasset (1881-1955).

In his philosophy, Ortega seeks to describe human experience as it is lived. The quotations in this video are taken from his essay "Features of love" that appeared in his book “On Love: Aspects of a single theme" (1939).

This video is the fourth of 5 philosophical dances by Beatrice, recorded earlier this year in Germany by Karin Fechner and me. Thank you Beatrice!

Inspired by Henri Bergson (1859-1941) – video-interview with Lena Marinova
https://youtu.be/K_PH9kStRv4
In this video-interview with Ran Lahav, Lena Marinova describes what inspires her in Bergson’s idea of “Intuition.” The interview is based on an excerpt from Bergson’s major book “Creative Evolution” (1907).

Henri Bergson (1859-1941) was a French philosopher and Nobel Prize laureate in literature, very influential at the beginning of the 20th century. "Intuition" is one of the central notions in his understanding of human experience or consciousness.

Lena Marinova is an Austrian member and facilitator of the Deep Philosophy Group.

Marcus Aurelius and the true self (2014) 25/09/2023

Video: Marcus Aurelius and the true self (2014)
https://youtu.be/EYiJ6a_5uCg
Here is another philosophy video which I made in 2014. It is about the great ancient philosopher and Roman emperor, Marcus Aurelius (121-180 AD).

As a philosopher of the Stoic school, Marcus Aurelius believed that we must awaken our true self, or “daemon,” in order to find inner peace, freedom from our psychological mechanisms, and harmony with the cosmos.

But what exactly is the true self, and how do we cultivate it?
