The Young Idealist
My name is Christopher Satoor, and I am a doctoral candidate in the Department of Humanities at York University in Toronto, Canada. I am also a Teaching Assistant in the Department of Philosophy, and a freelance Tutor.
My scholarly research focuses on German idealism, and Jena Romanticism, with an extra special concentration on F. W. J. Schelling. My goal for this channel is to make educational content that is both free and accessible for everyone.
For the last two years, I have been devoted to creating a digital archive on Classical German Philosophy & Post-Kantian Thought. The idea behind this project, was to set up lively discussions with scholars on the many lives & philosophies of each thinker. I did not want to just focus on the big names, but also on the many neglected figures in this fruitful history. This means that this channel will also have episodes on the important Jewish thinkers of Germany, as well as, the ideas of important women philosophers.
Enjoy the channel!
