Fun fact: This lecture was entirely improvised. The person who was supposed to give the lecture had an episode moments before going on stage and Dr. Sugrue filled in for him at the last second. He brought a blank piece of paper with him on stage to make the audience think he wasn't just making it up. This story was told on the Idea Store podcast Q&A part 3.
That’s amazing, good for all is listening 😮❤. I smile every time a new episode comes out.

@@huzi46 not really philosophy, he talks about MMA a lot and also he's against homosexuals.
@@Ybby999 you Clearly haven’t watched most of his content lmao, and no he doesn’t hate on Homosexuals. Only says to leave the kids out of it.
Nothing more badass than lecturing for 42 minutes 50 seconds on how to be a villain, calling it "Machiavelli" and dropping it on youtube without further comment.
You know this is like 40 years old right
@@Supermoneygang12 it’s an old video. Good observation
Can’t be a villain if you wield power

Michael, I started watching your lectures 3yrs ago… I’m 34 and entered college last spring. your lectures hatched something in my soul. Now I’m majoring in political science, and minoring in philosophy.
How’s it going?
college at 34? wow

@@-Magnetized we clear college at 18, unis at 22 so yeah nah bud.

Like I said before, it’s not his fault your life sucks and you gave up on yourself.
These lectures are honestly the best philosophy content on youtube.

Strangely, it was the news of this mans passing that made me click on one of his lectures just out of curiosity and ive been non stop listening since. So a post-mortem thank you sir
RIP Dr. Sugrue…. You provided us with hours upon hours of fascinating lectures & made our lives much more interesting…. A great man.
Sad to hear sad to hear sad to hear
I am in awe of the detail, richness, context, clarity, urgency and relevance conveyed by this lecturer from his own memory apparently impromptu. An inspiring introductory lecture to Machiavelli. Regardless of his ultimate personal views, this professor really knows his subject matter.
Wooow, the most fascinating talk I’ve ever heard. This guy is absolutely brilliant to give this off the top of his head

@@iceswallow7717That's people in any country
The Prince must be one of the oldest books I've read. I read it for no other reason than because I'd heard the author mentioned a great deal and I thought it was worth looking at. It seemed like pretty straightforward and fairly accurate description of power and its consequences. I've come to think that many people think of it as some kind of instruction manual, and I guess it is in a way, whether it is descriptive or prescriptive is one's own choice.
Knowledge will only accentuate your existing character. It is only dangerous to a dangerous person, either in their hands or in the hands of those who haven't caught on to them
Boring!
Character is defined by one's own thoughts and habits. I believe you are referring to personality. Which still doesn't define one's destiny. You must not exclude the impact of personal choice.. for it shapes your destiny.
This bozo is a liberal idiot.
machiavelli was not evil at all... he simply studied those in power and noted which tactics worked or didnt work
@@MaxwellJWhiteThis. People nowadays can't differentiate between an author and his works apparently. He was an experienced politician and a passionate reader of history books. He analyzed the situation in Italy at the time and wrote an instruction manual of sorts, meant for the young Medici. He recognized that Italy was divided in many little states, sometimes even city states, that had little armies or even employed mercenaries. He knew that they wouldn't stand a chance against France, the HRE or even the Ottomans, which were great nations with many resources and a state army. Diplomacy and morals are all nice and cute, but the wolves are at the gates waiting.
Just from the title and thumbnail alone I can already tell that this is going to be the lecture of all lectures
Had really wanted a lecture on Machiavelli for so long. Thank you for this!
I was waiting for him to say "Mr. Anderson" the whole time. Gave me matrix vibes. Absolutely loved this lecture/talk whatever you wanna call it. Pure awesomeness
Good observation made me chuckle
Agent Smith would’ve been a huge fan of Machiavelli.
Teaching is an art. What a brilliant teacher. 👏
have always been curious about Machiavelli's work, this was an incredible dive into these ideas
Thank you, sir. always
Just brilliant, thank you.
I've been looking forward to this. Thanks Dr Sugrue.
I love these lectures!
I love these lectures, thank you
This lecturer is so bright and so thorough. 😮
I have learned so much from several of his talks, but this one is the one that just makes me giggle whenever I think of it. Evil genius.
Unbelievably great thanks 🙏
The occasional sound of thunder in the background adds to the atmosphere of such a topic. As a somewhat bored office worker chained to my desk, these lectures are wonderful.
I loved reading The Prince at university. Much better than anything else on the reading list.
incredible lecture, thank you for upload
Thank you for sharing. This was so digestible.
Thank you so much for these videos Professor. You enrich our lives.

Thank you Dr Sugrue
This was so good, that I had to rewinded to watch it again.

Excellent thinker, telling it how it is not how it ought to be. Fantastic lecture, cheers.
More gems and knowledge. Thank you sir.
Thank you for your work and contributions

Michael, if you’re reading this I just want you to know that your presentation here and this video have impacted me so much and helped me grow out of a lot of bad habits that were instilled in me when I was young . You’ve been a great role model in my adult life and I think about your words, your invaluable insights and your lectures almost every day ❤ Thank you again
Great speaker - such an easy listen 👍
FANTASTIC Lecture!
If this was anyone else, the quality would be an issue. Sugrue… grabbing my popcorn.
Ive been waiting for this one
Thanks very much for this.
Discovered Dr Michael Sugrue's content way too late.
Incredible.
When you thought there were no more lectures
🤔............ haha! (telling myself my own inside jokes again that I normally do on YT that I don't always explain I'm doing like here that may not have anything to do with u haha).
I've been salivating waiting for this lecture.
LMAO !
Awed by Dr surgrue's brilliance.
Thank you , seriously he teaches so well.
He walks around too much
Great lecture about 2Pac, thanks❤️

@@frankiegunnz8066 he just used his story( about faking death) as a concept creatively also with jesus, clever
Thank You!
RIP DR.
Torn by this news . Thank you for your beautiful contributions . May you rest in paradise.
This man makes Philosophy edible. Any time i sit to listen to his lectures, it's like mealtime. The appetite to eat the intellectual food he serves is so deep. Thanks for being a teacher.
Thank you & Happy MayDay
Thank you !
Wow this was simple yet amazing
Another new (old) one! Saved in my playlist. On Saturday morning I will take a coffee and sit in the garden to listen to Sugrue, looking forward, thank you!
oh my god I was searching for lectures from Dr Sugrue about Machiavelli, this is great!
Thank you.
Brilliant lecture..thank you
Ugh. These lectures are changing my life. Can’t thank you enough for sharing your knowledge with the world.
I read the Prince as a teenager, really cool as a mature man to hear this again.
Human nature is like a bag of snakes , not all are poisonous most are!!
This is a great quote ima use “human nature is like a bag of snakes not all are poisonous most are “
I think human nature is more like a magic box in which you never know what will come out when you open it. Sometimes poisonous snakes, sometimes apes in heat, sometimes parents arguing fervently and stubbornly, sometimes someone giving their life to save a complete stranger's, sometimes unnameable and alien yet closer and more familiar than home. Human nature is a kind of bestial magic. Once you think you have made sense of it, it will throw you for another loop.
@@SamServ-ht4re this is a great quote I'ma use "this is a great quote I'ma use human nature is like a bag"
It's really No such thing as Human nature, everything is learned behavior.
@@erikdegby4652 betrayal, hate, abandonment human nature.
Love , and love again no matter what ...human.
I would have loved school if there was a teacher lke this. Captivating start to finish.
these retro lectures are better than anything on the internet today
This man's handle on the English language is intimidating. He speaks so effortlessly, it's aaaaaaaMAZING
Easier to listen to and grasp than even Alan Watts 👂 ❤
What a video, even more impressive when you learn that this was improvised. It takes a deep understanding to be able to coherently and informatively speak on a topic for near an hour.
We love you Mr. Sugrue.
That was an amazing lecture 👏
Half way into this, and wow! What an insightful and elucidating lecture so far. Bravo.
I've read much of Machiavellis works. I didn't find the same man as you describe here. I found great wisdom and pragmatism, but not evil.
yeah having read the prince about a year ago i had to wonder if i’ve even read the book or if he read another one lol
This!
Dope lecture, thanks for uploading!
Beautifully said
When those violins hit you better be ready to kneel. Sugrue on Machiavelli! This one is going to be glorious
Amazing lectures!
Which one are u this time ....? haha.
Oh yes indeed btw.
Absolutely precise and easy to understand!
This lecture has given much more wider perspective to my study.
Thanks for the wonderful lecture🎉♥️
Amazing content. Worth watching despite the sound/image quality!
Ahh the famous lecture - Sugrue ad-libbed it on the spot when the prof who was supposed to present suffered from stage fright.
Source?
And misinformed the audience, yeah. What a clown this guy Sugrue is.
@@ultimusromanorumget his ass
@@ultimusromanorumWhat did he get wrong?
I normally enjoy Dr. Sugrue's lectures, but this one was clearly a surface-level examination of Machiavelli. While "The Prince" is everything Sugrue said it is, the author was anything BUT a "prince" as he depicted it. Machiavelli wrote poetry and screenplays. The height of his political career was a foreign emissary-type post that let Machiavelli travel across Italy and Europe. He also didn't retire; he was exiled after being tortured by the faction that ousted the Medici for a time. And most damning to the lecture's assertion is the fact that Machiavelli was a great fan of the republican form of government. Even in "The Prince", Machiavelli says that tyranny is only a stepping stone to a better system.
And nowhere in "The Prince" does Machiavelli assert that EVERYONE should act like a tyrant.
Exile is forced retirement, no?
From what I've learned the book wasn't even popular until after Machiavelli's death. Dr. Sugrue's analysis on this book does seem 101 for people who don't know anything about the book, nonetheless he's an excellent speaker!!
@@OmnomnomPancake machiavelli continued to write and create after his exile tho
I am pretty sure that Machiavelli was tortured by the Medicis not the Florentines.
The surface level analysis of this subject is due to the fact the scheduled speaker had an episode of some sort and Dr. Sugrue filled in last minute. Still enjoyable.
I think I heard in one of the Q&A's that this lecture was winged last minute. Pretty good for that.
Incredible mind. Pls keep Up the good job.

Great lecture!
What a lecture!
I owe Machiavelli alot. I read the Prince when I was 19 and it woke me up to all the political corruption and manipulation of our modern world. It changed me from a leninist socialist to a free thinking human being
Just leave it at ''political corruption and manipulation.'' There nothing old or modern about it. watch enough geopolitical documentaries enough and the patterns emerge. its 3:13 am over here and i cant help but wonder what Machiavelli was doing 500yrs ago on this day.
Haha, I believe I was 20 when my eyes awaken as well 🤞🏽 (how does it feel to join the grey side)
Capitalist corruption and manipulation lol... socialist parties have no power in the west
I’m 20 and just read it! Yes I totally agree, idealism unfortunately can be easily corrupted by pragmatic and utilitarian people, after reading it I realized no ideology is immune from Machiavellian types. Unfortunately corruption will be a perpetual political problem and the importance doesn’t lie on a political spectrum but in taming corruption.
@@vaughncollins1386 another tip is that the Bible holds the true religion. While there is plenty of evidence, the 1260 year reign of the popes is one of the biggest pieces imo.
I would like to hear more philosophy lectures like this from you, entirely from memory.
He was FABULOUS. Wonderful thinker and speaker. Broad mind. Great listening.Time flew.
Was? IS!
thanks for uploading! very interesting subject
I hope there are more of Dr Sugrue's lectures in depth. Its amazing to listen to him. Wish my lecturers were as good and able to capture attention like him..
Michael Sugrue is a top top lecturer - knows the material without referring to notes. Top class! Chapeau!
Unfortunately, his depiction of Machiavelli’s character isn’t accurate at all. Supposedly, Machiavelli wasn’t this bloodthirsty, powerhungry “wolf”, as he is characterized by Sugrue. Good lecturer with a poor understanding of Machiavelli. But since it was improvised, I’d cut him some slack.
Great !
Like it so much
Full wisdom and realistic content!
Thankyu. Gonna follow yu .. a true educator .. entertains and informs .. yu do both
Excellent, thank you Dr. Sugrue for sharing this dissection of the Machiavellian world view :]
Been wishing he'd do machiavelli! Sweet.
Was waiting for this one!! Yeaaaah!!!!!!
Hands down the best form of articulation i have ever seen. Me who struggles to watch a 10min youtube video just watched this 40min video with full attention.
Loved the way you just explained everything ❤
this is gold 🏅
