LECTURES

Here is some "educational" content I made about stuff that I find particularly interesting and worth knowing. I have a master's degree, but please do remember that I'm not some professional academic with the credentials to back all this stuff up. So take these lectures for what they are and don't be afraid to try to prove me wrong by looking into the subject matter on your own.

LUDWIG WITTGENSTEIN EXPLAINED: TRACTATUS LOGICO-PHILOSOPHICUS (1921): My first real work that I have some degree of pride about related to this kind of stuff. An explication of one of the most unique and strangely life-affirming philosophical works of the 20th century. Half intended as a love letter to Subarashiki Hibi and Ayana <3.

LUDWIG WITTGENSTEIN EXPLAINED: PHILOSOPHICAL INVESTIGATIONS (1953):
Originally published: 2025/02/26
A follow-up to the above, but can probably be watched and understood even without having watched it first. An explication of the second and last major text of Wittgenstein's, reflecting most themes in his later philosophy.

MARTIN HEIDEGGER EXPLAINED, PART 1: BEING AND TIME (1927):
Originally published: 2024/01/30
A slightly more "professional" large-scale philosophy lecture about one of the
most important thinkers of the 20th century and perhaps the one who means the
most to me.

MARTIN HEIDEGGER EXPLAINED, PART 2: LATER WRITINGS:
Originally published: 2024/04/11
Essential watching after the first, but incomprehensible without the background of it. Introductions to some of my favorite pieces of philosophical writing ever.

AN INTRODUCTION TO NĀGĀRJUNA AND INDIAN MADHYAMAKA:
Originally published: 2018/06/05
A brief lecture introducing one of the most important figures in Buddhist philosophy and the tradition he spawned in India.

NĀGĀRJUNA: EXPLAINED: MŪLAMADHYAMAKAKĀRIKĀ (c. 150-250): [VIDEO VERSION]
Originally published: 2025/08/19
One of the most robust and essential pieces of Buddhist philosophy. The defining text of the Madhyamaka tradition, which has had strong influence on the Zen and Tantric schools of East Asia and especially in Tibet.
