Attic Philosophy is all about bringing you free, high-quality, university-level education on YouTube. As a lecturer, I see the benefits of a university education every day, and I want more people to have access to those benefits. With videos covering metaphysics, language, logic, and social philosophy.
Learning philosophy can be really hard, whether you're studying it at uni or not. Academics often seem like they're speaking a different language. On this channel, I discuss some of the big ideas in philosophy, and show you how to get to grips with logic.
You can support the channel and help it grow by contributing on my Ko-fi page:

Ask me a question in the comments! I'll try to get back to you. Or get in touch on social media:

Many of my academic publications are available freely here: philpapers.org/s/Mark%20Jago

Hi guys, happy new year! It's taken me AAAAAAGES to write and edit January's video – I was aiming for Jan 1 but only got the final edit together this morning! Fingers crossed, it'll be released later today. It's a big one – hope you like it!

Hey guys, thanks so much for your generous dementia Memory Walk donations! Our family group raised way more than we expected (and apparently were in the top 10% of fundraisers) – so thanks for helping out!
I've got a great new video for you – it's an absolute monster! I've been working for hours on the edit, hopefully it'll be ready for you tomorrow. Sneak peek below – can you guess what it's on?!?

Dear philosophy friends,
Earlier this year, my partner’s mum Beryl died, after several years of suffering from Alzheimer’s. This month, I’m raising money for UK Alzheimer’s Society. On 24 September, I’m doing the ‘Bristol Memory Walk’, together with family & friends. (That's us in the Goofy picture!) If you’d like to sponsor me, even just a small amount, it would be hugely appreciated.

Dementia research gets relatively little funding, but it’s something that will affect lots of us later in life. And there’s been hints of breakthroughs recently, with new kinds of medicine under trial. So I’m hopeful that donations to dementia research will have a tangible effect within the next decade.
Thanks!

Hey guy! Belated happy new year. I'm spending some time at the Institute for Advanced Study in Berlin (Wissenschaftkolleg zu Berlin) so I won't be able to film any content for a week or two. So this is a good time to ask you what you'd like to see videos about in 2024:

Hey guys! I could use your input. Basically, I’ve got myself into a bit of a YouTube pickle, spending waaaayyyyy too much of my working time editing weekly videos. I think I need to alter my approach. So I’m wondering what’s important to you:
