Michael Sugrue, 1957-2024 RIP
Rest in peace Sir. I am always at awe in the way you deliver your lectures.
we will miss him :( but at least his legacy is preserved thanks to the internet
Michael Sugrue's Nietzschean philosophical knowledge is what people think Jordan Peterson has, but he hasn't. Pr. Sugrue is the real deal.
Beautiful
This man gives better talks than anyone I've ever seen. A gem.
“What are mankind’s truths but irrefutable errors?”
This is a spectacular quote that underlines the philosophy of science. Nietzsche will continue to impress.
Black holes , Dark Energy , Dark Mater , Dark Flow .... , Big Bang , Super Big Bang , Mega Bang , Black Hole Evaporation , Space time curvature , Speed of light . Neutron Stars , Gravity Constant , Theory of Relativity , Special relativity , Quantum Entanglement , AI , , you name it . And things like this just spontaneously being imagined being best payed jobs giving best positions giving best living , is not by chance . All of this is a plan to move mans focus in to Darkness , separating him from his tribe and nation , then from family , then from him self , transgenderism , only when you do that can you call choice between A and B , election , when it is selection , select 1 or 2 , and you don't know which is worse . And in all that chaos a shining light Nikola Tesla , Nietzsche changed nothing , but if he was alive today he would use Tesla AC current , radio , and everything that was born from that down to smartphones , now phones are smarter then their users , that is why they are called smartphones , only a dumbuser can use a smartphone , only stupid man needs Artificial Intelligence .
None of this is by chance . Including Nietzsche . Powerful people have a way of destroying you if you don't work in their favor ,and if you do , they promote you .
Right. It's like Popper well before Popper.
Love these lectures. Bravo Sir, you have made the world a better place by educating us in these historically significant topics.
perhaps the best lecture ive ever listened to, may your soul rest in peace dr sugrue
Exquisite lecture. Thank you for uploading all of this professor's lectures. I listen to them and listen again a few weeks later and then again later...they are THAT good!
We will remember you for the brilliant learned man that you were. Rest in peace Dr. Michael Sugrue.
I have watched to this lecture so many times that I have memorized it word for word!
Michael Segrue is a kick azz super all encompassing philosophy professor.
He can lecture on almost any subject and/or thinker effortlessly. That is damn impressive I do believe.
Dr. Sugrue is utterly compelling. His range and references are riveting. I'm thrilled 'to have him in my life'! Thankyou. You've opened up Western Philosophy for me. ✨
I watched your Marcus Aurelius lecture a year ago and only now have found your channel, excited to binge :D
Rest in peace sir
Amazing lecture. RIP.
RIP a real one
I just want to say that these lectures have added so much value to my life in the past year, or so, since I’ve discovered this channel. Thank you!
Peace be with you brother! 🙏
What a speaker. Great interesting lecture.
Thank you very much for making these wonderful lectures available ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you Dr. Sugrue. This lecture has been very informative and galvanizing.
Brilliant teacher, so articulate. The repeated mispronunciation of ‘oxymoron’ is all the more surprising in that context. A petty point, but it jars for me every time I hear him saying the word!
What a great lecturer. 😢
These are so good I'll even do the accompanying assignment
This is my first time hearing Michael Sugrue. What an amazing speaker. A clear, concise and balanced appraisal of Nietzsche the man and the philosopher. Thank you.
Raskolnikov actually commits 2 murders.... The pawn broker and unintentionally her sister who shows up at wrong place wrong time. Great book
18:16 An under appreciated insight.
What an truly profound speech. As someone unfamiliar with philosophy or Nietzsche, this was incredibly engaging.
Stumbled upon this man randomly and within few minutes I was already feeling jealous of those who can get to call themselves “his students”. I hope your father is well and sound and thank you so very much for uploading these gold mines of lectures!
This is incredible. Thank you for posting it
nietcha was one crazy mf.
... these lectures are pure brilliance... respect from Wales, UK...
Nietzsche's nihilism drove him insane. Power is but one characteristic of humanity and Being. It must be balanced by morals, ethics, compassion, and love. These are more evolved faculties and aspects of consciousness. Nietzsche was a deluded nut.
RIP and thank you
This was so insightful, thanks for posting it!
Love you so much Dr. Sugrue. He presents the subject with passion. There is one charactetistic in his lectures, which makes philosophy adorable discipline for everyone.
Michael Sugrue is such a brilliant, passionate, articulate man. It's hard to come by lecturers like him today. He's a gift to us all.
Professor Sugrue has become a virtual mentor for me over the past couple of years. It started with Marcus Aurelius, that lecture came at a crucial point in my life when I needed some strong philosophical guidance. Now I’ve come to appreciate Prof. Surgrue’s because they have helped to open my eyes to much wider and more intellectual world that I desperately needed to find. Thank you Michael Sugrue, I wish I could have attended your classes in person however I can accept these virtual lectures as a substitute. God bless.
@@jasoncherry3404 i just found the professor tonight through marcus aurelius
Just came across his videos, amazing professor. Will watch all his TH-cam lectures.
Michael Sugrue is to Western Culture what the MSM is to current events.
Nietzsche didn't understand evolution very well. Species succeed at the general level. Outliers (smart people) get et.
Finally! A Norm MacDonald clip I haven’t seen before! Wow, he’s taking a real long time to set up this punchline, it must be a good one.
😂
Thank you so much for this at 42 minutes and I start to get really really involved in what you’re doing. It’s incredible your passion for this writer is contagious. I love when you said he’s a dandy that explains so much.
*sip coffee
*continues dropping knowledge
Every lecture is like an invocation of greatness and a blessing to my soul. Thank you Michael Sugrue!
Thank you for this upload!
Incredible synthesis- thank you!!!
Well done.
I love these lectures
First time I've heard oxymoron pronounced that way.😮
Greatly enjoyed this lecture, thanks.
you never fail to amaze me. thank you for sharing your thoughts Dr. Sugrue
These lectures are a sheer delight! Where has Michael Sugrue been all these years?
This is what I want to know too. This man is absolutely brilliant.
There's a comment by his daughter here, he is retired and unfortunately his health is poor.
21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also
23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.
‘Deceitful is the heart above all things and incurable. Who can know it?
This last point is a clarion call to all of us!
He certainly is one of the best professors I've ever came across.
I'm so happy I found this channel. Being able to come back to these lectures after reading the books and getting more and more out of them is truly very fulfilling.
I feel Joyous when I listen to Dr. Sugrue's lectures--they are that enlightening!
This is too good! Love this lecture!
This man is a hidden treasure of knowledge
This guy transforms lectures into a work of art
Dr. Sugrue's and Dr. Staloff are my favorites.!!!!!
Thank you.❤
Damn, this is so good.
What a spellbinding lecture! You are much adored Dr Mike. If there was a magic wand to transform you back into the then you! 😊
Lots of love and good wishes!
Are you flirting?
@@Reignor99 no, thats admiration
The idea that science ended metaphysics seems Neitzche’s worst vanity and a common one today.
Your channel has cleared up so many things for me. Thanks man.
The best lecturer ever. God bless you!
Finally, a lecture which correctly shows both sides of this man:
The megalomania and insanity and
The master of german prose
I don't think its even remotely warranted to describe Nietzche as megalomanic. You misunderstand the essence of tragic character, something Nietzche discusses in The Birth of Tragedy. The overman represents the healthy, radiant expression of mankind in response to the question of: what do you do in face of The tragedy?
The best lecturer ever, period!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks a million for enlightening the 🌍
Alan Watts takes 1st prize..but this man is also a master.
Dr. Sugrue's lectures are the best pieces of knowledge that I have come across in the last decade. I've learned so much, and thanks to him, I now own a fresh copy of Meditations. Thank you, Dr. Sugrue. May your soul be blessed.
So glad these lectures are on the net. I think I've watched almost everyone now some 3 or 4 times.
Just such a great lecturer, he breaks down complexity so well...
“It is the destiny of the west to be forced to confront their rational capacities.”
Amen, sir. Brilliantly put. Unites every major issue of the 20th and 21st centuries.
He talks so smoothly. Almost like narrating his thoughts in a stream. No ums or uhs. Extensive vocabulary.
What an excellent display of public speaking. It’s not often that you find people this skilled.
First time I heard him was when I was driving to work and he came on via auto play, I thought I was listening to Thomas Sowell who I believe I have mined lectures, interviews and debates of extensively and had to check who this excellent orator was.
“Mystical explanations are thought to be profound, in fact, they are not even superficial.“
This amazing professor turns the complex into the simple, the abstract into the concrete
I know this video is old. I had this series. Loved his lectures in it the best. I think he did the one on Kierkegaard that got me into him. I do not know Dr. Sugrue's beliefs or worldview but he is a great lecturer. He gives you what the thinker really believed and makes them come alive. He does not ramble about things that do not matter. He is clear but interesting to listen to.
Sadly he went woke in recent years
Masterful. As a professor myself, I strive to achieve this kind of oratory skill.
I have a dozen criticisms, but his oratory certainly isn't one of 'em... although his pronunciation of 'oxymoron' drove me mad.
"Nietzsche is a master of occimeron", you say??
@@TransRoofKorean And his large shrimp.
I’m glad I’m not alone in feeling this. I thought I had given good lectures on Nietzsche and the Western canon until I heard these-absolutely wonderful.
It makes me want to push myself.
Very articulate fella
Thank you for your service as an educator.
Good speech, way to go, helps me understand
17:50
This is gold standard. The channel is a goldmine. Prof. Sugrue the best.
I agree, modern treasure hunting pays off when hitting gold vein like this.
You’re an infidel!
The Best par excellence!
The very best !!
I've never heard anyone pronounce it "ox emm er ron" before. I've always heard it as "oxy moron". Did this stand out to anyone else?
It did.. like when people say human “yoo man”
@@nightoftheworld really? I’ve always heard people pronounce it as “hew muhn”
@@quincylee2276 give a listen to Carl Sagan's reading of pale blue dot and you'll hear plenty of references to yooman beings. :)
Embarrassed to admit that I thought I was looking for a word I did not know, like Oxcimmaron or something.
So now I know how totally cool people pronounce oxymoron.
lol
Feeling pretty dumb right now. , Are there a different amount of syllables when it's pronounced like that or is a word always the same amount of syllables?
Absolutely incredible lecture. I’m blown away
Wonderful lecture. Thank you.
I like Jesus Christ more than Nietzche.
Domain over any entity demands an understanding of that entity, knowing the limitations and needs of that entity, and imposes a moral responsibility over that entity. Empathy is in us for a reason and everything has a cost or a trade.
What a blessing that we have access to all these lectures and videos!
Thoroughly enjoyed this lecture, thank you Prof Sugrue
This channel is getting better und better !! 👨🏫👏🏻
That was really really interesting.
I like your passion and the flowing ideas style you follow.
Thanks Sir! ♡
Are you you a Muslim
I am reading THE GENEALOGY OF MORALS at the moment, and this clears up and number of things. Thank you for the learned perspective.
Splendid lecture. It's so good that cameraman's hands trembling of excitement. )
Glad I chose to stay. Very good lecture. It explains Nietzsche's place in the modern philosophical realm. So many think in this way actually and it's somewhat scary... The nihilistic and aristocratic behavior... Very interesting!
Wow! I think I need to listen to this a few more times to fully grasp it. I don't like Nietzsche, but that doesn't mean he has nothing to contribute.
The way he explains the book is just amasing !!
Another great lecture. The close of "Beyond Good and Evil" beautifully shows the tragic loneliness at the heart of Nietzsche's genius.
Religion comes from the Latin, religio, which means "to bond with God." When we bond with God, we need no theology or morality. Power is what Nietzsche substitutes for morality. It's demonstrated by art or action in the world. When we bond with God, we don't need to prove His power over anyone or anything. It includes love which is unity, not division.
By not giving the solution to the wars coming after him. he was saying there was no cure. He left out forgiveness, which is the crux of Jesus Christ's teaching. And we can only truly forgive when we ask God to show us how in every case. That is the true art inspired by God. By finding only fault in religion and substituting his own based on power, he ushered in the World Wars through his influence. Nietzsche was the canary in the coal mine of individual egotism and the belief that science instead of love will bring us to peace..
@@robertdouglas8895 Nietzsche didn’t replace morality with power. I mean, how could he?! It’s a misconception that he disapproved of morality, or goodness. How can someone who preaches nobility be against goodness? What he was against (which he says everywhere in his writings) is reactive morality. He believes that goodness is a natural quality. Nietzsche is a naturalist. This means for instance that a good person does not help others out of pity, but out of nobility.
@@ubet6691 "Egotism is the very essence of the noble soul. " That's power of self over outside power.
There is no outside power. There is only one of us here. That comes from love through forgiveness, not egotism
@@robertdouglas8895 I think that is meant psychologically. It merely notes a natural quality, in which sense it is fully accurate and relatable. ”Forgiveness” on the other hand, is a perfect example of what Nietzsche terms reactive morality; that which only may be as a response to stimuli.
@@ubet6691 Forgiveness is acceptance that everything that is in your life is what you put there. You are not ever reacting to an outside world but to the world you have imagined to be against you. The outer world does not exist. It is the ego, the belief that you are a separate body that makes up the imagined need of power over an outside world. It's fighting against an imagined enemy. "We have met the enemy and it is us."
I stumbled across Dr Sugrue by accident, I was looking for something mildly interesting to listen to while I fell asleep. Sugrue’s lectures had the opposite effect, I could feel the synapses in my brain sizzling with new ideas and excitement. Now I’m fantasising about starting a Masters in bioethics.
Thank you. Very happy this
Is here.
Bravo Mr.Sugrue,more of us need to hear your teaching.
The way Dr. Sugrue can articulate difficult points is incredible, whether you agree or disagree with any points he or Nietzsche is making, the delivery of said points is irrefutably powerful.
The section from 29:49 to 30:28 was extremely mind-blowing and incredibly profound. It has given me a new perspective on the postmodern condition. Thank you Professor Sugrue!
the sound quality is excellent as is the content
Marvelous! These lectures are like the flow of a river. Thanks Dr. Sugrue, big respect and I wish you all the best.
Thoroughly enjoyed this lecture. Always had trouble correctly understanding and comprehending Nietzche, but after listening to this lecture a few times I'm starting to understand the gravity, importance, and as you put it, the destiny the man himself held in society. Thank you Dr. Sugrue, I am a big fan and forever appreciative of this content.
