Marcel wouldn't be furious, or angry at all -- throughout this piece, he's acknowledging what he thinks Sartre gets right, and pointing out where Sartre's gone wrong -- that's real criticism, which has its basis in understanding
I just want say I appreciate all the videos you put out for free on your YT channel and in the manner and tone in which you present them. So often I think, especially in the "philosophical world" there's a certain arrogance some teachers display in their lectures. I've never seen that in any of your videos. I think there are some that need a dose of humility instead of the intellectual snobbery that at times gets paraded about. We're all private investigators in this thing we call life..
Thank you for this session. Very Different from secularistic type of existentialism. Very insightful philosophy of Marcel, articulated nicely by you sir.
Just wanted to say I finished my university philo course with a 91 and it can pretty much be attributed to the clarification I received from your videos. Thank you, thank you!! I was lost prior to finding these!
Dr., i would like to congratulate you on your videos. I haven't watched many of them but i can already see that you put a lot of effort into this channel, not to mention the quality of the knowledge you present here. I seriously think your work is being underrated, but, afterall, we are in the internet so i guess its something presumable. Well i wanted to be breef and now im already going of the topic, congratulations one more time for your work, especially on both of your lectures of Sartre's and NIetzsche's existencialism. Thank you for the great work, and a good nigth all the way from brazil.
Yes, the Internet does not exactly push 1+hour academic lecture videos straight to the top! But that's all right -- we're creating content that will bring people to the texts of these great thinkers, and will be out there like homing beacons in cyberspace. . . .
Where are you in the opposition between Chestov and Camus? I find tremendous beauty and sincerity in his Absurdism, as well as a heightened, worldly sense of Others, rather than simply obscuring them, seeing them through the window of my own naiive (and possibly conditioned) Hope. This has been a concern for me for a very long time, even when I was not conscious of it having been an opposition between Absurdism and Existentialism per se. Yet Chestov is so brilliant. Did Camus draw upon him as an influence, but merely refined and pruned it in accord with his own life experience? Dmitry.
Camus actually rejects Shestov/Chestov's position in the Myth of Sisyphus, quite explicitly. For me, when or where I have to choose between the two (or Camus and Marcel, or Camus and Dostoyevsky. . . . ) I'd take Shestov

This lecture has really helped me understand Satre better. Marcel would be furious. You always find the dark humour at the heart of it. Thanks again.

That's very nice to read
Discussion of a key essay by Marcel, where he critically examines Sartre's version of existentialism
Thank you for this session. Very Different from secularistic type of existentialism. Very insightful philosophy of Marcel, articulated nicely by you sir.
There are many different sorts of existentialist perspectives.
