Bertrand Russell Philosophy: On Human Desire
I always liked Bertrand Russell because I see myself quite often in his writings.
After reading this essay (which is an abridged version of the speech he gave after winning the Nobel prize in literature in 1950), his genius became even more clear to me.
Realizing these four desires, as the main pillars, so to speak, of human motivation, can offer a lot of clarity in one’s orientation within a social ecosystem.

Alan Watts: THE ART OF NO DESIRE
Subscribe for more great videos: https://bit.ly/2D2ZzB0
In this video, Alan Watts explores the concept of stepping out of desire and how very quickly this can lead to the desire to not desire. However, the fool who persists in their folly will become wise. This brings us to the practice of meditation, a way of being in the world the promotes attention to the present moment. Listening to sound, feeling sensation on the body, and being immersed in the now is the art of no desire.

The Stages of Desire | Soren Kierkegaard Either/Or
All of us have felt desire in some way, but we usually dismiss it without much thought. The Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard broke down this emotion into three stages in his book Either/Or. These stages are not independent of one another but are rather more akin to a metamorphoses. The past stages do not die with a new one, but rather, the new stages are “disclosed”.
Stage one of desire is without a specific object of desire, but it’s after something general. Kierkegaard’s example is the character of the page from Mozart’s opera Figaro. The page had this “sleeping” desire for womanliness. It’s something that doesn’t exactly have an object for the page to specifically desire yet.
After that is stage two, which has a specific object of desire. This is the kind of desire we’re prob...

Up next ►► The ugly psychology behind scapegoating | Luke Burgis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLa0zqShCcw
There are two kinds of desire, thin and thick. Thick desires are like layers of rock that have been built up throughout the course of our lives. These are desires that can be shaped and cultivated through models like our parents and people that we admire as children. But at some level, they're related to the core of who we are. They can be related to perennial human truths: beauty, goodness, human dignity.
Thin desires are highly mimetic (imitative) and ephemeral desires. They're the things that can be here today, gone tomorrow. Thin desires are subject to the winds of mimetic change, because they're not rooted in a layer of ourselves that's been built up over time. They are like a layer of leaves that's sitting on top of layers of rock. Those thin desires are blown away with a light gust of wind. A new model comes into our life; the old desires are gone. All of a sudden we want something else.
In the stream of daily life, we're pushed and pulled in a million different directions. And if we don't extract ourselves and find time for recollection, we won't be able to listen to our lives, to listen to others, and to understand the way that our relationships and our desires are growing and emerging. We'll be surprised if five or ten years from now, we've pursued desires that have led us to a place that we really may not have wanted to go. Listening is critical to the transformation.

In this video, Alan Watts explores the concept of stepping out of desire and how very quickly this can lead to the desire to not desire. However, the fool who persists in their folly will become wise. This brings us to the practice of meditation, a way of being in the world the promotes attention to the present moment. Listening to sound, feeling sensation on the body, and being immersed in the now is the art of no desire.

All of us have felt desire in some way, but we usually dismiss it without much thought. The Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard broke down this emotion into three stages in his book Either/Or. These stages are not independent of one another but are rather more akin to a metamorphoses. The past stages do not die with a new one, but rather, the new stages are “disclosed”.
Stage one of desire is without a specific object of desire, but it’s after something general. Kierkegaard’s example is the character of the page from Mozart’s opera Figaro. The page had this “sleeping” desire for womanliness. It’s something that doesn’t exactly have an object for the page to specifically desire yet.
After that is stage two, which has a specific object of desire. This is the kind of desire we’re probably most familiar with. We see a dessert we want on the menu and we wanna eat it, or maybe there’s a specific person who we are attracted to and we’d like to date them.
Finally, there is stage three, embodied through Kierkegaard’s example of Don Giovanni. This stage is a unity of the last two stages, having both a desire for the general and the specific. Don Giovanni was a seducer, pursuing multiple women. In this sense, he was pursuing the general (seduction, intimacy, etc.) through specific people. #philosophy #existentialism #kierkegaard
