Yes. They do pretty well summarizing concepts for those not well versed in the area. They're a more simplified crash course philosophy though, both are pretty good for entry level people not very heavy handed.

Aren't they the faggots who started their video about Nietzsche with "Nietzsche was a nihilist" or "Nietzsche embraced nihilism"?

If it's them, they're shit.

Start with the philosopher sweater from School of Life!

If you wear this reasonably priced sweater you can be a philosopher just like Alain the Bottom!

They're great and they are smarter than /lit/

It would literally, and I mean LITERALLY be a better idea to kill yourself and hope God answers all your questions in the next life.

You'd be a centrist piece of shit too if you had his relative level of success. Most of us would desu

I love the woman. Her soft voice let's me melt away and makes me want to shove my hard cock in her tender mouth.

I kind of feel that they're too strapped for time to really go over complete subjects. It's kind of annoying when they try to do an 'introduction' to a philosopher; just talk about one or two aspects about him, and then have to do 5 other videos to explain his ideas. The way they choose to focus in on Immanual Kant's ethics and not his epistemology is kind of sad. In general their approach probably isn't the best for teaching philosophy. It's better to do it almost like history where you start at the beginning, and learn names along the way. Instead of learning the name of a guy in history, and jumping into his biography without any background the world's situation at the time.

I guess it's good if you want a quick refresher for class though. They gave off a strong reddit vibe during the monasticism video when the announcer felt it mandatory to call himself an atheist at the end.

We've been over this enough times. SoL caters to reddit tier numales with no intellectual standards. Can you handle it?

On a serious note if it gets you interested in the actual literature great if not forget about it, it's shitty little videos and if you actually get started reading the philosophers you're interested in you'll find the interpretations superficial and unsatisfactory.

There's no need to have a strong opinion about SoL. I know, I know, it's popular and whatever is popular must be important but rly it's not.
