Mysteries of Ancient Philosophy & Metaphysics – Jay Dyer (Free Half)

Stepping back beyond Marcus Aurelius, this week we look into the origins of philosophy itself, the basic questions of metaphysics and the basic questions of theology. What is real? How can we know? How ought we live? What did ancient Egypt and Babylon think? From there, we move in hour two to look at ancient metaphysics and early Greeks, as well as the poets and Pre-Socratics. The first half is free, while subscribers to JaysAnalysis get the full 2 hour talks.

Vid – Stoicism, Logos & Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations – Jay Dyer (Half)

In this half video for free, I discuss the historical circumstances and philosophical schools in the Roman Period. Still intoxicated from Hellenism, the Roman Stoics imbibed a syncretic blend of various philosophies that even included a vague notion of a universal “logos” principle, as we see in Marcus Aurelius’ famous ‘Meditations.’ The full talk can be obtained by subscribing to JaysAnalysis at the PayPal links below.

JaysAnalysis: Basic Metaphysics – Logos and Logoi (Half)

This is the first half of a full talk which can be obtained by subscribing to JaysAnalysis at the PayPal links for 4.95 a month or 60.00 per year. In this talk, I give a basic introduction to classical metaphysics and theology based on St. John of Damascus’ Fount of Knowledge: The Philosophical Chapters. We cover the seminal terms and concepts and how they relate to forming a proper worldview and critical thinking, and how the modern world has robbed us of this inheritance.
