#philosophy #bac #education #culture #logic Today: the theory of syllogism, by ARISTOTLE. Illustrations: Yves Klein, French artist (1928-1962). ********************** Is philosophy complicated? Of course not, since many of its essential concepts can easily be understood in 5 minutes (well, more or less…)! Does the previous statement constitute false advertising? In part yes, because it is probably illusory to hope to truly understand philosophy in a few minutes, just as it is pretentious of me to want to explain it in such a short time. This limited duration also means that the concepts and theories considered here are only discussed and not studied, and that it is possible that they are not reproduced in their entirety. Nevertheless, "a short video is perhaps better than a long text", a Napoleon Bonaparte might have said today. It's no secret that on the Internet, after 4 or 5 minutes, attention span decreases and we want to zap. If the videos in this playlist are indeed relatively short (that's what philosophy in shorts is), it's simply because I see them as a kind of more or less attractive "trailers", like half-open doors to theories that are often fascinating, always worthy of interest, imagined by some of the greatest thinkers the world has ever known. If this "Philo en Shorts" arouses in you the curiosity to go further in the reflection, if it manages to arouse the desire to delve deeper into the themes that are evoked or the ideas and theories that are outlined, if finally it makes you want to read (because nothing replaces reading philosophers!), then this playlist will have achieved its goal ????
