Please consider subscribing to be notified of future videos, as we upload Dr. Sugrue's vast archive of lectures.

Man it's so badass and wholesome how your daughter does this with you. I'm glad she had the idea of publishing your lectures and you went along with it. The outcome has been a fruitful one 😊
I didn't know it was his daughter!
Reminds me of the very first Q&A livestream Jordan Peterson did on TH-cam back in the day. He did have a problem so at one time his son came rushing into the room to fix it. It's always so sweet when kids help their parents - even if they're geniuses.
@@StockpileThomas1 very strong jordan peterson to sugrue pipe
@@StockpileThomas1Peterson is a tool
"geniuses" ?????? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😮@StockpileThomas1
You helped get me through some tough night shifts when I just needed something good and informative to listen to while working. This isn’t even 1% of the thanks you deserve.
The 21’st century’s greatest teacher.
No shade at the good doctor, but competition isn't exactly stiff these days.
@@pearz420haha facts, but one gotta Love Michael
Could you elaborate a bit? @@pearz420
Dostoyevsky is my favorite writer because he understood behavioral psychology before it was an applied science.
Great comment.
Crime and Punishment is my favorite book, and hearing someone with the intellect of Professor Sugrue break this down is incredibly helpful.
I am a butcher by trade, 40 years old now, never went to university, and I find these lectures to be extremely accessible and incredibly thought provoking. Thank you for these videos.
I was embarrassed by some of the things he wrote, as if he knew I would read his work in the future. I was a little offended by his audacity to write such personal things about me. It hurt and helped.
Yeah, we're all inflated in that way, it's our Fisher King wound - Where we live for the I and ego instead for you, us and them; that is living for a higher value than us, family, love, god, you name it. But there's a coffin for that internal change.
I know what you mean. He described aspects of my own personality that I thought I'd hidden, even from myself. Now I feel like everyone can see them!
@@gabrielorville5334What you wrote nailed it! I've formally studied the Bible and been a vocational ministry for 30 years. With all my experience and knowledge I still struggle with treating others like I want to be treated.
@@TheSpoovy yes he reminds us of evils we've hidden from ourselves in the hopes we use it to love people
As a young monk Martin Luther's priest told him to stop coming to confession so much with so many sins. Later he discovered grace in the Bible and the rest is history.
LOL
But don't cry, please.
"What shall he profit, if his injustice be undetected and unpunished?
He who is undetected only gets worse, whereas he who is detected
and punished has the brutal part of his nature silenced and
humanized; the gentler element in him is liberated, and his whole
soul is perfected and ennobled by the acquirement of justice and
temperance and wisdom, more than the body ever is by receiving
gifts of beauty, strength and health, in proportion as the soul is
more honourable than the body " - from The Republic by the one and only. Dostoevsky took this lesson and turned it into a best seller. There could have not been any other ending to Crime and Punishment
RIP Sugrue! You have left a library of videos I may always return to.
He died? That’s damn sad man
I read Edgar Allen Poes The Tell Tale Heart right around the same time that I read Crime and Punishment just coincidentally and the scene where Svidragilov was sitting in Raskolnikov's room in the dark was so reminiscent of the scene where the crazy man from Poes story was opening the door to the guys room and just standing there in complete silence that I wondered if Dostoevsky was inspired by it so I did a little research and it turns out that Dostoevsky wrote the forward to the very first russian translation of Poe's stories.
Ah that's awesome, TIL
Great share.
Thanks for sharing! Living in Baltimore atm and I hardly go a day without seeing some reference to E.A.P.
I actually thought about Edgar Allen Poe
Never stop lecturing Sugrue, I will watch everything you upload!
I wish every philosophy class included Dostoevsky in their curriculum
Thanks! A small contribution of gratitude and also I hope an inspiration to others to not take you for granted and help support your work.
Dostoyevsky taught me as a teen that revolution is exhausting, I really enjoyed this presentation. He is definitely my favorite author of fiction,his works are superb.
Is it fiction or reality suppressed by the will to civilization. I grew in the woods of Africa, not much education at least not enough to give me the world view at large so Doystoyevski's world that formulated his perception of his world would have been alien to me yet our common denominator, humanity made me understand him and see the dark humour, the compassion, the struggles of being etcetra in his work.
My Dude, The Doc! I could be having the worst day ever, and just seeing this guy's face over a new video makes my entire WEEK.
Keep em Comin!
Thank you so much. I've had severe mental health problems and even though I've binged your lectures in the past, so much information has escaped my mind. Hearing your modern thoughts on these authors and philosophers is an incredible thing to enjoy and refresh myself with. thank you.
Like sand in a sieve
@@Laocoon283 it's infuriating. To possess all the knowledge one comes across would be wonderful
this dude is amazing. grateful for people like you
I've been waiting for some more Dostoyevsky content, thanks professor!
Join the club
Merry Christmas, Professor and Genevieve. I've learned volumes from this channel.
This was an awesome lecture! Thank you for posting! I read this over 50 years ago and it has inspired me to reread!
I love how the facial features have changed, the voice has changed the setting has changed, but the passion is still there, burning like hell, thank you for sharing professor Sugrue.
Philosophy is beautiful and you are a wonderful teacher. Thank you, professor Sugrue and Genevieve!
This content may be some of the most educational and helpful available. Thank you so much for making these videos and making them public. I love hearing your insights.
Best discussion I've heard about this difficult book. Thank you.
Thank you Dr. Sugrue and Genevieve (assuming that’s who’s helping the old man figure out the internet). Hope you have a wonderful holidays, you both have provided many gifts to the world through these videos!
This was beautiful
Fantastic lecture! It’s great to see you making these videos. I watch your old lecture on Marcus Aurelius multiple times a year, and have been doing that for multiple years now. It brings me solace. I was ecstatic to discover your channel here on TH-cam. Priceless educational content. Thank you for all you do.
All men die, but not all men die whining. Words to live by.
@@r.k.5031 Absolutely! Good reference!
thank you sir for what you are doing.
Another great one I am listening to again, Dr. Sugre. I have been learning to write better on these tiny cellphones letters, which I don't particularly care for, since I am tech savey. I do love your videos and now the ones with Professor Staloff.
Dostoevsky's novels I love and most Russian writers.
Dysfunctional family, yes.
Crime and Punishment
Raskolonikov hits us right between the eyes. What characters so intriguing. Sonya, Porfiry, Svidrigailov,
God, who would not want be atheist? Lol One begins to see hell on earth.
Genius, Dostoevsky. Bravo.
Soul transformation indeed.
thank you for continuing to release these great lectures!
I cant wait for the next one. its amazing to watch how time has settled your ideas. Thank you.
I discovered your old video lectures during the beginnings of CoVID and were very stimulating. So glad to see you here on TH-cam and love seeing the joy in your eyes when you discuss this novel and the philosophical content in it. Thank you.
Thank you for the content now and throughout the years Professor!
Christmas came early this year! Much love to you Dr Sugrue!
Fantastic both the lectures old and new!
Keep doing what you’re doing. Love your old stuff and love the new stuff even more. Best lectures around
What a joy to see you making videos like this Michael, I very much enjoy your lectures so I look forward to delving into your current discourses! 🙏
My sincere gratitude for the wonderful lecture.
Thank you so much for posting these. Both the old lessons and the new have helped me so much in learning a diverse array of philosophic traditions
Thanks for sharing another great video.
Thanks so much for continuing your lectures.
Please continue making these! Your descriptions and analysis are better than any of the extracurricular classes I took in undergrad! : ) Thank you for you time.
Another fantastic lecture. Thank you, Dr. Sugrue!
Thank you, Michael!
Thank you for such insightful videos. Really appreciate it.
Thank you for all of your lectures. All amazing.
Thank you Michael, I am very happy to have discovered your channel, I am really enjoying your talks and the depth of your understanding. Great work. Blessings to you.
Mr. Sugrue thank you so much for your lectures etc. i enjoy every second. This is a gold mine ❤
thank you again for all of your hard work, insight, and speculation, Professor.
That was a fantastic lecture, thank you.
I have so much to say that I may go off for a walk and gather my thoughts.
Thank you, Dr. Sugrue, for these invaluable lectures.
You are a machine.
Great video! I'm gonna do a re read now!
Slowly working my way through Michael’s lectures and these talks and look forward to them every day. Apart from his astonishing erudition and understanding, his delivery and turn of phrase are often very, very, funny. Thank you🙏
You are a great teacher. Truly.
This has been eye opening. My understandings of the reading was fine. But your’s was the finishing touch I needed. Insightful, thank you 🙏
I appreciate you two.
I love you Mr. Sugrue. I wish I were more like you.
Thank you Mr Sugrue! I came across your videos a few years ago and have since found a new passion for philosophy.
This is an excellent overview of a big narrative. Not easy to pull off in 40 minutes, so thank you for doing this.
I literally just finished this book today and was looking for a video essay on it - and by sheer coincidence my favourite lecturer has posted a video on it! Thank you
Thank you professor sugrue i am from sudan and i am glad that i have access to your lectures.
Great author. Thanks a lot professor !! :))
Utterly brilliant video! I’m retraining as a psychotherapist and am watching all your wonderful videos, since they provide me with such depth of knowledge on aspects of philosophy and psychology that I am lacking. There’s a lot of content nowadays but there are only a few channels that really explain and distill the core concepts as well as yours Sir! Awesome stuff!!
I have read the book but thoroughly enjoyed your story telling style. Wonderful.
Great analysis, just finished reading it and this cleared up so many things for me
Good to see you back!
Thank you for sharing your insight
Thank you for shedding light on this very convoluted book, which I am enjoying…although it has been somewhat difficult to read…you have clarified a lot for me…& certainly I have no intention of putting the book down…I truly needed your summation 🙏🏼😘
I want to thank you again sir for bringing us great lectures
love these videos. Professor brings the light
You are best lecturer/intellectual ive ever been exposed to! Thank you for your contribution to our enlightenment!
You’re looking healthier with each passing video, Doc! I like that.
Amazing, thank you so much!
There's a very great Soviet film, in black and white, on Crime and Punishment. It takes out some of the Christian elements, but other than that, it's a very faithful adaption- it captures its essence very well.
Great lecture, thank you!
Love you, Doc.
love your work sir
Keep crushin', Mike.
Thanks.
I am very happy you do this.
Thank you !
This is the first time that I watch your lecture and I can already tell I'm in the presence of a legend.
Lucky
Love this and love the timing! I am on my 2nd read through (first being sometime pre-covid, b.s). I just want to comment on the "old women" for those who haven't read this prize of literature. The "older sister" is in her early 40s and the younger in her late 20s 🙄. I think Raskolnikov's attitude about the older lady's age is worth considering in light of his essay "On Crime." So says this 56 y.o. lady 😝
keep up the great work, Michael!
Luv your classes michael, thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I'm from brazil and I use your classes to learn english and philosophy at the same time. Thank you
Excellent analysis and summary of what is undeniably one of the great masterpieces of classic literature. Dostoyevsky was a genius and my favorite writer. God bless!
I’ve read this book over 5 times. This is the best analysis I’ve ever seen. Genius level insight.
Thanks!
Thank you professor 👨🏫
im gona need more of that girl from the beginning... for philosophical study..
There are geniuses then there is
Dr Sugrue
I’ve learned so much from his videos
Thanks!
Thank you Professor
Your interpretation skills are amazing. I' m a lawyer, and i read this book after read some Nietzsche books. But i haven't read the last 4 pages: thas was sad. What a fantastic and tragic book.
My friend, the internet has those 4 pages. Read them as soon ask you can.
Enjoyed this Thank you
Dear Mike, your on-line classes are indispensibe for those in a constant search for a "red pill"... Three cheers from Istanbul, Turkey.
Btw, it is my humble opinion that "Notes from Underground" would have also made a worthy subject for a discourse...
Best, fm
Joseph Frank states early in volume one of his biography of Dostoevsky that "as a child, he never felt any separation between the sacred and the profane, between the ordinary and the miraculous..." Something like this apparently also characterized the youthful impressions of life of the young Heidegger. Dr. Sugrue's ability, in thirty-three minutes, to give us the very essence of this great world masterpiece is itself geniius.
Thank you for these videos ^^
Thank you so much professor. I can't say how much your old videos and now your new ones mean to this guy right here. Sending gratitude from Asbury Park, NJ.
Eagerly waiting for every video....
Great video!
Ive been going through it slowly, after I finished part one I just had to sit with it for a couple weeks, never has fictional words made me feel so anxious and repulsed, it genuinely makes you feel like an accessory to murder, while also making you root for Raskolnikov. Definitely one of the greatest writers.
There is a reason religion has been so prevalent. People need a mechanism to aspire for an unreachable perfection, and a way to combat our own destructive tendencies. These were some wonderful insights. Please keep uploading
