Lyrics: Heart of Slavonian native lands, You are inaccessible for epoch’s whirlwinds This town which grew among eternal woods Was hardened by many wars Hard stones of the high fortress walls You saw so many enemies for your time Raid after raid, fight after fight Never defeated in a thousand years’ light Road under shadows of strong trees A way to the palace of the rising clear sun People thrive with souls of bright beams Fear never enters our stronghold Calm settles on tower of the town And light never leaves Svarog’s stronghold By darkness banner of alarm has grown Shout of patrol – “Enemies at the gate” ——————————— ?????? ?????????? ???????? ??????, ?? ??????????? ??? ????? ??????, ?????, ??? ????? ?????: ?????? ?????, ????? ????, ? ????? ???????. ??????? ????? ??? ???? ??????????, ?? ?????? ????? ?????? ?? ???? ???, ?? ???? ?? ??????? ?? ?????? ??? ???? ?? ?????, ?? ??????? ?????. ?????? ??? ????? ??????? ????? ????? ? ??????????? ?????? ??????, ??? ???? ????? ???????? ??????, ? ????? ?? ????????? ???????? ?????. ???????????? ???? ?? ????? ??????, ? ???? ?? ??????? ??????? ?????, ?? ??????? ??? ??????? ????????? ???,? ????????? ???? — “????? ???? ? ?????”!

Episode 4 of my Religion, Faith, War and Peace series: I look at how seriously philosophies can be taken, shaping the lives of people; from the lowest worker to the most powerful men in the world. I look briefly at the great Hellenic philosophies and the impact one of these, Stoicism, had on Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius. I ask the question, “do philosophies and ideologies wield the same power for evil as religious convictions?” References Marcus Aurelius, Meditations Epictetus Discourses Galen, Works vol.14 Seneca, Letter, 49 & 99 Dio Cassius, Testimonies Plato, Cratylus Cicero, Scipio’s Dream Luretius, On the Nature of Things.

@mrgodbehere LOL and I enjoy checking things.
@johncrwarner Frankly; I’m just testing you. 😉 Muhahahahahaaaa!
@mrgodbehere It was not as formal as that – there were two Augusti and two Caesars in 306 when his troops declared him an Augustus and he finally became the sole Augustus in 324 – so he reunited four parts – the east west thing was never formally done so they were technically joint emperors with their own areas of control until the collapse of the western half.
Stop bringing the nerd out in me LOL
@johncrwarner Fair enough. But as for Constantine, teeeechnicaaaaally, he DID become Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire. 😉
@mrgodbehere Just if you are talking about Edward Gibbon and reference his work – it helps to have the right picture there – I thought it was quite funny to see Edward Gibbon Wakefield flash up as you talked about the decline and fall.
You said constantine became emperor of the eastern empire – that was not the case – these aren’t biggies – and I was amused and it fed my slight obsession with details.
@johncrwarner This piccies are basically memory aids hence the use of whichever ‘Edward Gibbon’ was available. This vid isn’t about Constantine, hence the lack of detail about him.
I think you have a picture of Edward Gibbon Wakefield an early 19th century politician and coloniser of New Zealand – I am not aware of him writing anything about the decline and fall of the roman empire – that was Edward Gibbon an 18th century historian – basically he would have worn a wig etc.
Constatine was emperor of the whole roman empire but split it for administrative reasons and raised the new rome – Constantinople or as the Turks write that Istanbul – from a small greek port to capital
@HConstantine
capitalism |?kap?tl?iz?m|
noun
an economic and political system in which a country’s trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state.
@HConstantine Euh, I’m sure I would make all kinds of weird pronunciation errors too… and I can readily understand we an English speaking person has problems with German word, just as they have with Dutch words … for example, let me see you try Scheveningen 😉
@remko2 Yes. Despite my apparently condescending tone, the number of strange pronunciations in the video was incredible. usually you find that with people who are self-taught, but Mr.god, appears to be a grad student, so its hard to account for.
@HConstantine ah, as we’re at it …. it’s Trier like beer 😉
@zarkoff45 The philosophy of Buddhism is one thing but the actions of the followers is another. In Sri Lanka Buddhist Bikus (sp?) were active instigators and leaders of mobs that attacked Tamils all across the country. A close friend was in Sri Lanka when the men in saffron robes were leading mobs that attacked and murdered numerous Tamils, burning them in their homes.
I think none are safe in the end.
It can only become dangerous if it accepted uncritically and dogmatically.
@zarkoff45 Sounds like it, but I’m not so sure. I don’t know much of the facts, but I think some of those Eastern religious philosophies ( maybe not Buddhism per se) are involved in people killing each other in Asia. Have to check my facts though.
@dewinthemorning “a strife for power, control and influence over people; promises a supposedly better future … and rests on some dogmatic principle.”
Sounds like Buddhism might be safe.
In answer to your question, yes, provided that philosophy is married to a strife for power, control and influence over people; promises a supposedly better future for humanity, or ‘salvation’ in the case of idealistic philosohies, a branch of which are the religious philosophies; and rests on some dogmatic principle.
@HConstantine I think someone missed the point entirely along with the words ‘in many ways it was’.
I’m just trying to remember another capatalist society that was once built on slave-plantation, more recently, hang on, what were they called agian, oh yes! The United States.
I won’t elaborate further but please, do think about what I actually said and the overall ethos of both my channel and the video before typing.
@HConstantine I noticed the Antonine tung twist foible but forgot to anotate, thanks for reminding me. As for the other, I will take that under advisement as A. all the professors I know (including Greek ones) pronounce it myif you knew how condescending you come across?
Antonine–notice the ‘T’ in there.
Epic-TE-tus., with a long e!
I don’t know how you can say that the Roman economy was anything like capitalism. It was based on slave-plantation. The difficulty that led to the collapse of the west was the inability of the economy to grow and produce new wealth. That doesn’t sound like capitalism to me.
You ask an interesting question – I fear the answer is yes, we would kill each other over philosophy as easily as religious people would kill each other.
