Mr Bolduc, your teaching of this novel was quite transformative!

I’ve read the book several times. The matter-of-fact tone, the clear descriptions are fantastic. I loved the book. Can highly recommend. His fate was chosen for him so is there free will?

That was great. Very impressive. I liked the book too. I perceive Bloom's "Closing of the American Mind" as essential reading for folks trying to understand how we got to where we are. I sometimes enjoy reading from both books from which I learned so much. Thank you for this.

Analyze thick of it by ksi plz 🙏 😢 i love your content

hearing yamashita in your voice again awakened something in me i think

Is it just me or have you de-aged after I left BIBA

I like your cameo in ookla the mok

FINALLY someone remembers this magnificient book!!!!! 💥 🎉 I have NEVER again been able to find it anywhere, after I saw and read it in, my philosophy institute library!!!! 💥 💥 To me this was his best book.

Anyway- it’s great to see someone making a video on it here and now! Just 10 days ago. I think the only other one I saw was like 11 years ago lol

I am rereading this now after 25 years… it left an indelible mark on me… it seemed like a work of seminal literary importance but I was surprised this summer when I searched for analysis of it on TH-cam and found virtually nothing!

Looks dystopian

Did you use a phone or a camera? Looks phenomenal

Beautiful

22:41 events calling for a greater examination of our human circumstances - that 'the line between good and evil running down the heart of every man' necessitates more than mere courtroom revenge

I knew Professor Norman Bentwich, the first professor of International Law at the Hebrew University. A very distinguished British jurist. If I recall correctly, he argued Eichmann should not be hanged in Israel as Israel had no death penalty. I may be incorrect about that, and he may have argued, like Arendt, that it was a matter for an international tribune based on war crimes or crimes against humanity.

Looks amazing

Happy 4th of July!

Very informative sir! I have an interesting question to entreat of you: When do you think compliance creates complicity?

Crows pick out the eyes of the dead, when the dead have no longer need of them; but flatterers mar the soul of the living, and her eyes they blind. -Epictetus

You need spoiler alerts

They’ve barred the Bard!

What's the sound effects at the beginning?

It's been a while

amazing essay

Great video

Looks really cool

Awesome production quality Sir. Cheers!

Enjoy the video enjoyed listening to you describe the both books. Cb

enjoyed the two books! also, i had troubles purchasing the book with PayPal, and wondered if there is other ways i could purchase nonlocal.

Enjoyed this review a lot. Looking forward to Episode 2!

Amazing video! Looking forward to episode 2 of Positive Readings!

Very high-quality video! I really enjoyed it. The book sounds really intriguing. It's really horrible knowing how the American dream can destroy a person, what is more absurd is that this happened to many people back at that time, and people were at their lowest all because of this "American dream".

enjoyed part 1, hoping for part 2!
